An air-fuel ratio sensor of a limit current type is used for an air-fuel ratio feedback control. When the air-fuel ratio sensor is in a semi-activated state, the air-fuel ratio sensor is driven into an electromotive force generating mode by a current externally applied thereto thereby to shift an electromotive force changing point so that an air-fuel ratio at which the electromotive force changes stepwisely is shifted from the stoichiometric ratio point to a lean zone. When the air-fuel ratio sensor is in a completely activated state, the air-fuel ratio sensor is applied with a voltage to produce a limit current varying with an air-fuel ratio so that a feedback control is performed based on the advanced control theory by using a linear current output characteristics.

An oxygen gas concentration-sensing device comprises a solid electrolyte body which is prepared from an oxygen ion-permeable metal oxide and whose first surface is exposed to the gas to be sensed and the second surface is exposed to a reference gas. First and second electrodes are respectively pressed against the first and second surface of the solid electrolyte body. The first electrode exposed to the gas is covered with a porous gas diffusion-resisting layer. This gas diffusion-resisting layer is chosen to have an average pore-size ranging from 300 .ANG. to 400 .ANG..

An oxygen sensor for detecting an oxygen concentration in a gas under test such as exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine of an automobile. The oxygen sensor comprises an oxygen concentration sensing element made of an oxygen ion conductive metal oxide which produces an electromotive force in accordance with a difference between an oxygen concentration in the gas under test and an oxygen concentration in a reference gas, a porous layer of refractory metal oxide formed on a surface of the oxygen concentration sensing element which is to be exposed to the gas under test, and an electrode formed thereon. The peel-off of the electrode is prevented and a high-response oxygen sensor is provided.
摘要:
An apparatus for and a method of reliably detecting a very small dotted image area. A detecting area including a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel is set. It is judged whether or not the detecting area belongs to a dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels in the detecting area. Consequently, it is possible to detect edges peculiar to the dotted image area on the basis of a leading edge portion or a trailing edge portion of the density, to detect the very small dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels.

An image forming apparatus is provided with a zoom processing circuit, a scanning optical system and an enlarging/reducing circuit. The enlargement/reduction of the formed image in the main scanning direction is performed by the zoom processing circuit and an enlarging/reducing circuit, and the enlargement/reduction in the sub scanning direction is performed by the scanning speed of the scanning optical system and the enlarging/reducing circuit. When a magnification within a magnification range depending on the zoom processing circuit and the scanning optical system is specified, the enlargement/reduction of the input image data by the enlarging/reducing circuit is not performed.

An image processor performs emphasis processings suitable for materials to be copied to produce clear copy outputs. The image processor has a digitizing circuit which outputs a digital signal produced by digitizing an image. The processor further has a first detecting circuit which detects an area of the digital signal including a periodic component, a second detecting circuit which detects a character area of the digital signal, and a smoothing circuit which smoothes the digital signal to output a smoothed signal. Either the digital signal or the smoothed signal is selected and outputted by a changeover circuit according to an output of the first detecting circuit. The output of the changeover circuit is differentiated into a plurality of differentiated signals by a differentiating circuit by use of a plurality of different coefficients. One of the differentiated signals is selected and outputted according to the outputs of the first and second detecting circuits.
