    摘要: A thermal liquid flow sensor and method of forming same. The sensor has a substrate and one or more sensing elements, disposed on the substrate, for sensing a property of a liquid. The liquid flow sensor, which can be for example a microsensor having a microbrick® structure, has a hydrophilic layer which is disposed on the substrate and covers the sensing element(s). The hydrophilic layer is preferably formed from a spin on glass material, such as for example a silicate or phosphosilicate. A silicon nitride layer can be disposed on the sensing element(s) and interpose the substrate and the hydrophilic layer. The silicon nitride layer can be oxidized, for example, by means of plasma oxidation or oxygen ion implantation so to form the hydrophilic layer thereon. A variety of other hydrophilic compounds can be utilized to form the hydrophilic layer such as, gold, palladium and diamond like carbon.

    摘要: Methods and systems for preventing degradation of a sensor exposed to a harsh fluid, such as one that might corrode or be exposed to radioactive contaminants, live pathogens, freezing temperatures, overheating, particle deposition or condensable vapors is disclosed. An auxiliary purge stream of comparatively clean fluid or purge fluid is utilized, which flows past the sensor in opposition to the harsh fluid, thereby preventing the harsh fluid from contacting and degrading the sensor. The clean fluid itself may comprise a purge gas, such as clean, dry air, or a liquid that is compatible with the composition of the harsh fluid. The flow and pressure of the clean fluid can be adjusted utilizing one or more supply regulator valves.

    摘要: A highly sensitive fluid composition analyzer where a fluid may be placed in contact with a very small area on a material sensitized to change color in the presence of a specific type of compound, to be impinged with light. The light reflected, transmitted and/or scattered by the material may serve as input for the analyzer electronics. The fluid may be pre-concentrated prior to being brought in contact with the material. The area on the material may be a spot having an outside dimension of less than one millimeter.

    摘要: A sensor system for detecting the presence of at least one specific component in a fluid medium such as an exhaust gas. A sensor is mounted in a sensor body for detecting the presence of at least one specific component and providing a representative signal that is transmitted to a remote receiver for processing. A power source such as a thermopile provides power for the sensor and the transmitter. Preferred are sensors that detect a plurality of different components in the gas and provide a distinct signal for each component. A preferred transmitter is designed to transmit at a low duty cycle so as to conserve power. A preferred sensor is electronic, has the capability for self-diagnostics and self-calibration, and causes a change in current when exposed to the component, such as a functionalized field effect transistor.
