A gas sensor is disclosed which attains high response speed, low power consumption, superior water splash resistance and a little setting direction dependency and setting angle dependency. In this gas sensor, a measured gas room is provided inside an inner cover, and gas passage holes for leading a measured gas in are provided on side surfaces of the inner cover and an outer cover. The gas passage holes provided on the outer cover are positioned much closer to a top end side than the gas passage hole provided closest to the top end side in the inner cover.

A gas sensor has a housing, a gas sensing element held by the housing and having a gas contact portion and an element cover for covering the gas contact portion. The element cover has a double pipe structure formed by layering an outer pipe and an inner pipe. The outer pipe has an outer bottom portion having an outer bottom hole and an outer side portion having plural outer side holes. The inner pipe has an inner bottom portion having an inner bottom hole and an inner side portion having plural inner side holes disposed not to overlap the outer side holes. A spacing D of 0.2-1.0 mm is formed between the outer bottom portion and the inner bottom portion. As a result, flow resistance in the spacing D is relatively high, and the sample gas sufficiently and more smoothly flows toward the gas sensing element. Therefore, the element cover prevents condensed water from entering the inside of the gas sensor and improves response of the gas sensor.

A gas concentration detecting device for detecting the concentration of a component, such as an oxygen in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The device has a concentration detecting body 2 for detecting the oxygen and a cover 3 of a double wall structure which is for encircling the portion of the detecting body opened to the flow of the exhaust gas to be detected. The cover 3 has, at its axial tip end wall, a plurality of holes 33 and 34 arranged in such a manner that one of the holes functions as a gas inlet hole and the other hole functions as a gas outlet hole in order to cause the gas to be smoothly ventilated. The cover has, at its side, a wall of a closed structure with no hole for the passage of the gas, which is effective for preventing the cover 3 and the detecting body 2 from being cooled by the exhaust gas, thereby enhancing a heat retaining capacity, thereby preventing particulates from being deposited.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an exposure unit, a detection unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit includes a photosensitive member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The exposure unit exposes the photosensitive member. The detection unit detects that a reference position disposed on the photosensitive member has reached a predetermined position. The storage unit stores correction data for correcting unevenness of potential characteristic in the photosensitive member. The control unit controls an exposure intensity of the exposure unit at each position on the photosensitive member based on the correction data.

An electronic component substrate (1-1) includes an insulating base (10) and a flexible circuit board (20) mounted on the insulating base (10). The flexible circuit board (20) is a synthetic resin film provided thereon with terminal patterns (29) and a conductor pattern (25) whose surface is slidingly contacted with a slider. The insulating base (10) is a synthetic resin molded piece. The flexible circuit board (20) is insert-molded to the insulating base (10). The electronic component substrate (1-1) is produced by preparing the flexible circuit board (20) and first and second mold members (41, 45) having a cavity (C1) with a shape that corresponds to the external shape of the electronic component substrate (1-1). Then, the flexible circuit board (20) is accommodated in the cavity (C1) between the first and second mold members (41,45), and the cavity (C1) is filled with a molten molding resin. After the molding resin has solidified, the first and second mold members (41, 45) are removed.

A method for manufacturing a ceramic stack is provided, which can suppress distortion, separation, cracking and the like that may be caused in plural types of ceramic sheets after being stacked and baked for integration. The method includes a step of obtaining a relation between volume rates of organic materials contained in the ceramic sheets and baking shrinkages of the sheets, resulting from baking the sheets at a predetermined temperature, a step of selecting a volume rate of organic materials for each of the ceramic sheets based on the relation obtained at the previous step, so that all the sheets may have substantially the same baking shrinkage as desired, a step of forming the plural types of ceramic sheets based on the volume rate selected at the previous step, and a step of stacking and baking for integration the plural types of ceramic sheets to fabricate a ceramic stack.
摘要:
A gas sensor element is designed to determine the concentration of a selected component contained in gas and includes a sensor cell. The sensor cell is equipped with two electrodes one of which is exposed to a gas chamber into which the gas flows from outside the gas sensor element. The electrodes connect with leads extending to external terminals exposed to the atmospheric air. One of the leads connecting with one of the electrodes exposed to the gas chamber is made of material which includes a mixture of a metallic composition and a ceramic composition and contains 7% or less by weight of the ceramic composition based on a total weight of the mixture. This results in a decrease in porosity of the lead, which reduces the intrusion of oxygen gas into the gas chamber, thereby enhancing the accuracy in determining the concentration of the selected component of the gas.

A gas sensor element is provided which is designed to measure the concentration of hydrogen-containing gas accurately. The sensor element includes an oxygen pump cell working to keep the concentration of oxygen contained in measurement gasses entering a measurement gas chamber at a low concentration level and a hydrogen-containing gas measurement cell. The hydrogen-containing gas measurement cell is made up of a proton-conductive solid electrolyte body and a first and a second gas measurement electrode affixed to the proton-conductive solid electrolyte body. The first gas measurement electrode is exposed to the measurement gas chamber and serves to produce a signal between the first and second gas measurement electrodes as a function of the concentration of the hydrogen-containing gas.
