There is disclosed an oxygen sensor disposed before an exhaust gas purifying catalyst of an engine which uses a hydrocarbon containing fuel with a H/C ratio of three or more. An oxygen sensor 1 is provided with a solid electrolytic body 2 which can generate a difference in oxygen concentration with reference gas and measured gas, a reference electrode 3 and a detection electrode 4 formed on inner and outer surfaces of the solid electrolytic body 2, and a porous protective layer 5 for covering the detection electrode 4. The detection electrode 4 is formed only of a metal like Pt which promotes oxidizing reaction of methane to have a thickness of 1 to 2 &mgr;m. In the protective layer 5, only a second protective layer 5b carries Pt catalyst 6 which promotes oxidizing reaction of hydrogen, and the amount of carried catalyst is in the range of 0.5 to 7 mol % relative to the whole of the second protective layer 5b. According to the oxygen sensor 1, even if a large amount of hydrogen is exhausted, for example, from CNG engine, or even if a large amount of methane is exhausted, an excellent engine control can be realized.

The present invention introduces that E-mails are managed effectively without imposing a burden on a mail server. A memory is provided in a telephone, whereby an E-mail from the mail server can be down-loaded. When this telephone is accessed from plural terminal devices, the mail status is stored in order to be capable of recognizing that a E-mail is down-loaded to which terminal device. With this system, when E-mails are transmitted and received with plural terminal device, it is possible to manage E-mails integratedly by accessing not a mail server but a telephone.

This invention is directed to a method for the production of a dislocation-free silicon single crystal by the Czochralski method. This method attains growth of the main body part of the dislocation-free silicon single crystal by immersing a seed crystal in a melt of silicon and then pulling the seed crystal without recourse to the necking. The seed crystal thus used is a dislocation-free silicon single crystal. The horizontal maximum length of the part of the seed crystal being immersed in the melt at the time of completing the immersion of the seed crystal in the melt is not less than 5 mm. The immersing rate of the seed crystal in the melt is not more than 2.8 mm/min and the part of the seed crystal to be immersed in the melt is a crystal as grown.

The oxygen sensor of the present invention has excellent durability capable of effectively preventing contamination with lead or the like for a detection electrode even in low temperature exhaust gases, and having stable response over a long period of time. The contamination preventive layer provided in the sensor device comprises composite powders having coarse powders covered therearound with fine powders, and hollows not filled with fine powders are scattered in gaps among the composite powders. Both the coarse and fine powders comprise ceramic powders. Further, it is particularly preferred that the ceramic powders are powders of a titania powder having a peak at 1 &mgr;m or less and a composite ceramic powder containing alumina such as spinel having a peak at 10 &mgr;m or more. The contamination preventive layer can be formed by coating a slurry containing ceramic powders of different specific surface areas, an organic binder and a solvent such as methanol on the surface of the electrode protection layer followed by drying.
摘要:
A battery is provided for supplying a power upon a removal from the equipment. When the removal from the equipment is detected by a connection detecting unit, an injustice judgment unit judges whether it is an unjust removal from the equipment or not. If it is judged that an unjust removal has taken place, a security processing unit performs an information protective action such as erasing of data of a storage unit, enciphering, saving into different areas, etc. In the event of incorporating no batteries, the protective action is effected by the supply of an external power through the reconnection.
