    摘要: An NOx detection apparatus does not always perform correction processing, but it determines whether to perform the correction processing on the basis of the result of a determination of whether a first Nox concentration is higher than a predetermined specific concentration. The first NOx concentration NOxpo calculated from a second pumping current Ip2 which changes with the actual NOx concentration. Therefore, the NOx detection apparatus can determine whether to correct the first NOx concentration NOxpo in accordance with the actual NOx concentration. Accordingly, the NOx detection apparatus can suppress a decrease in gas detection accuracy even in the case where the gas detection value based on the sensor output involves an error in a specific concentration range (concentration range of 90 ppm or higher).

    摘要: An NOx detection apparatus computes a first NOx concentration NOxpo on the basis of a second pumping current Ip2, and sets correction coefficients a, b (concentration variation correction information) on the basis of the first NOx concentration NOxpo. Therefore, the NOx detection apparatus can set the correction coefficients a, b in accordance with the concentration of NOx actually contained in a to-be-measured gas. Since the NOx detection apparatus uses Equation 3, determined by the correction coefficients a, b, for correction of the first NOx concentration NOxpo, the NOx detection apparatus can correct the first NOx concentration NOxpo in accordance with the state of change of the NOx concentration even when the magnitude of an output variation caused by a pressure change changes depending on the NOx concentration.

    摘要: A sensor control apparatus (1) calculates the concentration of oxygen using a gas sensor (3) including a sensor element (11) and a heater (12). The sensor control apparatus (1) repeatedly obtains internal resistance data representing an internal resistance value Rpvs of an oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte body (14) and pump current data representing the value of pump current Ip which flows between a pair of pump electrodes (15) and (16) and whose value varies with the concentration of oxygen. The sensor control apparatus (1) corrects the value of the pump current Ip based on the internal resistance value Rpvs, a target internal resistance value, and a derivative value dRpvs/dt calculated based on a plurality of the repeatedly obtained internal resistance values Rpvs.

In the case where humidity detection is performed using an electromotive-force-type gas sensor, a sensor control apparatus changes a target voltage of an electromotive force cell to a second target voltage for humidity detection and then to a third target voltage which is lower than a first target voltage which is a target voltage used for detecting the concentration of the particular gas component. In the case where humidity detection is performed using a limiting-current-type gas sensor, the sensor control apparatus changes the voltage applied to a pump cell to a second application voltage for humidity detection and then to a third application voltage which is lower than a first application voltage which is an application voltage used for detecting the concentration of the particular gas component.
