    摘要: The present invention provides an ultrasonic transducer having uniform characteristics. Because the characteristics of a pair of ultrasonic transducer are equalized with each other, measuring accuracy of an ultrasonic flowmeter can be improved. Electrical connection from an electrode surface 13 of a piezoelectric body 11 to an external electrode is achieved not by soldering but by an electroconductive elastic body 16. As a result, variations of the frequency characteristics due to thermal load on the piezoelectric body 11 can be reduced, and this makes it possible to obtain an ultrasonic transducer with uniform characteristics, and measuring accuracy of an ultrasonic flowmeter using a pair of the ultrasonic transducer can be improved.

    摘要: A temperature sensor for use in a heating apparatus is disclosed. The temperature sensor includes a rigid cylindrical body and upper and lower plates disposed at one end of the rigid cylindrical body. A first electrical insulator is interposed between the upper and lower plates and has a recess filled with a second electrical insulator, in which a hot junction of a thermocouple is buried. Since the respective components are just in contact with each other without any bonding therebetween, there arises no stress in the temperature sensor even at high temperatures. Furthermore, even if a short circuit occurs in the thermocouple, data indicating the short circuit is output from the temperature sensor to the control system of the heating apparatus, thereby assuring safety in the operation of the heating apparatus.

    摘要: An oxygen conductive solid electrolyte plate has first and second opposite surfaces, First and second electrodes fixedly extend on the first and second surfaces of the electrolyte plate respectively. A spacing frame hermetically secured to the first surface of the electrolyte plate surrounds the first electrode. The spacing frame has an opening. A sealing plate hermetically secured to the spacing frame defines a chamber in conjunction with the electrolyte plate and the spacing frame. The chamber accommodates the first electrode and opens into an environment only via a window defined by the opening in the spacing frame. The window allows oxygen molecules to flow from the environment into the chamber by diffusion.

    摘要: An optical switch usable for an optical circuit adapted to be operated by utilizing the electro-optical effect inherent therein. A pair of electrodes are arranged in spaced relation on an optical wave guide which is branched to branch optical wave guides and transmission of light beams is controlled by applying a certain voltage to the electrodes. Both the optical wave guide and the branch optical wave guides are made of electro-optical material. Specifically, the optical wave guides are constituted by a layer of PLZT ((Pb, La) (Zr, Ti) O.sub.3) based thin film which is formed by epitaxial growth on a base plate located on the C-plane of sapphire (.alpha.-alumina). The switch is effective for controlling the transmission of light beams.

    摘要: An automatic weight detecting device is provided with a platform on which an object to be measured is placed, a supporting shaft for supporting the platform is rotatable and smoothly movable in the supporting direction. A driving motor rotates the supporting shaft, and an elastic member supports the supporting shaft. A load detecting device converts the load of the object, transmitted in the supporting direction of the rotatable supporting shaft through the elastic member into a given electrically physical amount and a weight detecting circuit integrates to obtain the average of the electrically physical amount while the shaft rotates, so that the weight of the object is detected.

    摘要: A surface acoustic wave resonator includes a base plate made of glass and a layer of piezoelectric material which has a plurality of strips extending parallel to each other for forming a reflector. A surface acoustic wave excited from a transducer reflects at each of the strips. The reflectance of such surface acoustic wave is improved by the arrangement of the strips and the thickness of the layer. On the other hand, the temperature coefficient of the resonance frequency is also improved by the arrangement of the strips and the thickness of the layer, and by the amount of the alkali metal oxide contained in the base plate, and further by the thickness of silicon oxide film laminated on the surface of the base plate.
