    Abstract: With a method of manufacturing a thermoelectric conversion device, first via holes of a first insulator are filled with a first conductive paste. Third via holes of a second insulator are filled with a second conductive paste. Next, parts of the first conductive paste protruding from the first via holes of the first insulator are inserted into fourth via holes of the second insulator. Parts of the second conductive paste protruding from the third via holes of the second insulator are inserted into second via holes. Next, a rear surface protection member having rear surface wiring patterns, the second insulator, the first insulator, and a front surface protection member having front surface wiring patterns are arranged in this order to form a stacked body. Next, the stacked body is heated while being pressed in the stacking direction.

    Abstract: A strain detecting device includes a sensor portion and an elastic deformation member covering the sensor portion. The elastic deformation member generates heat when it is compressed and absorbs heat when it is expanded. The sensor portion includes a first and a second heat flux sensors, each of which has a first sensor surface and a second sensor surface formed on sides opposite to each other. Each of the sensors outputs a sensor signal having a positive polarity when the heat flux passes through the sensor in a direction from the first sensor surface to the second sensor surface or outputs a sensor signal having a negative polarity when the heat flux passes through the sensor in the reversed direction. A heat absorbing member is interposed between the first and the second heat flux sensors. The first sensor surfaces of the respective heat flux sensors are opposed to each other across the heat absorbing member. The sensor portion generates the sensor signal depending on the heat flux generated by deformation of the elastic deformation member.

    Abstract: A strain detector is interposed between a base and an attachment member in a structure body having the base, the attachment member, and the stainless bolts fixed the base to the attachment member. The strain detector includes an elastic member and a heat flux sensor. The elastic member is provided to compress or extend in accordance with a deformation of the stainless bolts, and the elastic member generates heat based on the compression and absorbs heat based on the extension. The heat flux sensor is deformed in accordance with the compression or the extension of the elastic member and the heat in the elastic member is transferred to the heat flux sensor. The heat flux sensor can detect a magnitude of the heat flux Fh1 as a heat stream between the inside of the elastic member and the outside, generated by the compression or the extension of the elastic member.

    Abstract: A position change measuring device which measures a change in position of a target object and includes a base member, a press member which is movable following a change in position of the target object, an elastic member which produces heat when contracting or absorbs heat when expanding, a heat flux sensor which outputs a signal as a function of a rate of heat flux transferred inside or outside the elastic member, and a diaphragm unit which is made of elastically deformable material. The diaphragm unit is retained by the base member in contact with the press member and works to produce force of resilience to recover the elastic member to its initial state when the elastic member contracts or expands in response to movement of the press member. This structure improves a response rate for sensing a change in position of the target object with high accuracy.
