Apparatus for measuring the concentration of oxygen in exhaust gases. A gas sensor element of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 -ZrO.sub.2) has at one end a gas pump of two chambers separated by intervening Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 -ZrO.sub.2 with an orifice extending between each chamber and the exterior of the gas sensor element. Two platinum electrodes of a first set face one chamber and two platinum electrodes of a second set face the other chamber. The gas sensor element is mounted in an insulating mounting collar in close contact with two ceramic heaters of resistance heating elements on silicon nitride substrates. The mounting collar is clamped between a shield member encircling the gas pump of the sensor element and a housing member by threaded clamping nuts. The shield member has one or more apertures therein to admit exhaust gases to be analyzed to the gas pump of the sensor element. The housing member has an electrical connector at one end which is spaced from the sensor element for providing electrical connections to the sensor element and the ceramic heaters.

Apparatus and method for determining the concentration of NOx in a gas mixture. The gas mixture is supplied to two electrodes at which different NOx decomposition conditions are present. The electrodes may be of different materials or sizes or may be positioned in different gas enclosure environments. The NOx decomposes at different rates at the two electrodes and an emf is thus produced between the electrodes. The concentration of NOx in the gas mixture is determined from the measured emf.

Apparatus and method for determining the identity and concentration of a component in a test atmosphere having a known concentration of oxygen. At least one solid electrolyte oxygen sensor is used, with each sensor having a solid electrolyte wall in contact with, and interposed between, a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is in communication with the test atmosphere. A first negative voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes of a sensor, causing electrochemical oxygen pumping and a first electric current to flow through the corresponding solid electrolyte wall. The first negative voltage is selected to cause the first electric current magnitude to be on a first current plateau. The magnitude of the first electric current is measured.A second negative voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes of a sensor, causing electrochemical oxygen pumping and a second electrical current to flow through the corresponding solid electrolyte wall. The second negative voltage is selected to cause the second electric current magnitude to be on a second current plateau. The magnitude of said second electric current is measured.A table correlating pairs of numbers representing various combinations of first and second electric current with corresponding identity and concentration of one or more components is provided. The measured first and second magnitudes of electric current are matched with the pairs of numbers in the table and the corresponding identity and concentration of one or more component is determined.

A layer of chemically compatible conductive material is applied to ferroelectric semiconductor material having a permanent polarization below its Curie temperature. The materials are heated to a temperature above the Curie temperature of the ferroelectric semiconductor material and allowed to cool. The result is a low resistance contact. The ferroelectric semiconductive material may be a layer on a non ferroelectric semiconductor material with a matching work function or matching dopant levels.

摘要:
A fuel cell which converts chemical energy from a fuel/oxidant gas mixture to electricity for power usage or gas-sensing applications is disclosed. The fuel cell has a solid electrolyte wall with electrodes on each side. Each side of the wall is surrounded by a partition which forms a first and second chamber whereon the fuel/oxidant gas mixture is allowed to diffuse. Means are provided to initiate a voltage drop between the electrodes which initiates the chemical reaction. Electricity is collected from the electrodes. In an alternate design the fuel cell has a first and second electrolyte wall with electrodes on each side of the walls. A partition wall separates the first and second walls thereby forming a first chamber with the first wall and the partition wall and a second chamber with the partition wall and the second wall. Gas-flow limiting means exist between the fuel/oxidant gas mixture and the first chamber and the first chamber and the second chamber. The chemical reaction starts spontaneously and electricity is collected and stored from each set of electrodes.

摘要:
A method of making a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) device, and the PTCR device itself, where there is provided a ferroelectric semiconductor having a Curie point and a bulk resistance. A layer of electrically conducting material is provided upon the ferroelectric semiconductor. The layer is heated at a process temperature greater than the Curie point of the ferroelectric semiconductor for a period of time, and cooled to ambient temperature. The process temperature and time period are selected to be sufficent to provide an ambient layer resistance greater than the bulk resistance of the ferroelectric semiconductor. The layer may be heated in an oxidizing atmosphere or in a reducing atmosphere, which also affects the layer resistance. The ferroelectric semiconductor may be in the form of an oxide ceramic or liquid crystals, and may include barium titanate. The layer may be selected from the group consisting of metal, metal alloys, metal oxides, polymers, and composites thereof.
