    摘要: A method is provided for operating a hot-film air-mass sensor, which can be used especially for measuring air mass flows in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine. The hot-film air-mass sensor has a sensor chip having a sensor frame and a sensor diaphragm having at least one heating element and at least two temperature sensors, a chip carrier for holding the sensor chip and at least one additional heating element. The sensor chip is able to be heated up using the at least one additional heating element. Immediately after shutting down the internal combustion engine, the at least one heating element of the sensor diaphragm is switched off, or is switched to a lower heating power. Furthermore, the at least one additional heating element is switched on for a specified postheating phase. The provided method is particularly suitable for avoiding oil contamination of the hot-film air-mass sensor.

    摘要: A sensor design, respectively a micromechanical sensor structure for capacitive relative-pressure measurement, that will allow very small pressure differentials to be reliably recorded at high absolute pressures even in harsh, particle-laden measuring environments. For that purpose, the micromechanical sensor element includes a deflectable diaphragm structure which is provided with at least one deflectable electrode, and a fixed support structure for at least one fixed counter-electrode which is located opposite the deflectable electrode. The diaphragm structure includes two mutually parallel configured diaphragms that are joined rigidly to one another via at least one connecting crosspiece, so that each application of force to one of the two diaphragms is directly transmitted to the respective other diaphragm. The first diaphragm is able to be pressurized by a first measuring pressure emanating from the front side of the sensor element, and the second diaphragm is able to be pressurized by a second measuring pressure emanating from the rear side of the sensor element. The fixed counter-electrode is located in the sealed volume between the two diaphragms of the diaphragm structure.

    摘要: To determine air mass flows, especially for controlling internal combustion engines, a hot-film air-mass sensor is provided, which may be used especially for sensing air mass flows in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine. The hot-film air-mass sensor has a sensor chip having a sensor frame and a sensor diaphragm having at least one heating element and at least two temperature sensors. Furthermore, the hot-film air-mass sensor has a chip carrier for mounting the sensor chip, as well as at least one additional heating element. The sensor chip is able to be heated up using the at least one additional heating element, which is inserted into the chip carrier. Compared to the usual devices, the hot-film air-mass sensor has a lower susceptibility to contamination, especially by oil films.

    摘要: A method for determining a recognition threshold for recognizing the presence of a tooth or a tooth gap of a position sensor in front of a sensor is presented. The method includes a step of reading in a sensor signal which represents a variation over time of a measured magnetic field when the teeth and the tooth gaps of the position sensor are passed by the sensor. In addition, the method includes a step of ascertaining from the sensor signal a first value based on a minimum value of the sensor signal and a first value based on a maximum value of the sensor signal within a predefined time interval. The method also includes a step of computing a differential absolute value which represents a predetermined percentage of a difference between the value based on the at least one maximum value and a value based on the at least one minimum value of the sensor signal. Lastly, the method includes a step of determining the recognition threshold, so that the recognition threshold represents a value that corresponds to a result of adding the differential absolute value to the first value based on the minimum value of the sensor signal.
