摘要:
A sensor having a pair of sensor units, one of which is a detecting sensor unit and the other of which is a reference sensor unit, wherein each of the units comprises a substrate with a hollow portion, a thin insulating layer with a bridge, cantilever or diaphragm shape disposed on the substrate, a sensitive film disposed on the bridge, cantilever or diaphragm portion of the thin insulating layer, and a pair of electrodes being in contact with the sensitive film, the sensitive film section of the detecting sensor unit being exposed to an atmosphere to be measured so that the electrical resistance of the sensitive film changes with a variation in the physical quantity of the atmosphere to be detected, and the sensitive film section of the reference sensor unit being sealed within a shielding container so that the electrical resistance of the sensitive film is not influenced by a variation in the physical quantity of the atmosphere outside of the container, whereby the absolute physical quantity of the atmosphere to be detected is determined by the output power of the sensor based on a difference between the electrical resistance of the detecting sensor unit and the electrical resistance of the reference sensor unit.

A flow sensor for detecting the rate of flow and the direction of flow of a fluid, comprising a substrate, a heating element disposed on the substrate, and four or more fluid temperature sensing elements disposed with an equal space therebetween on a virtual circle around the heating element, wherein the difference in temperature between the fluid and the heating element is maintained at a fixed level by the control of current that is applied to the heating element, so that the flow rate of the fluid can be calculated from changes in the current that corresponds to the flow rate of the fluid, and at the same time, the difference in current or in potential between the fluid temperature sensing elements is calculated from changes in temperature therebetween that arise from changes in the direction of flow of the fluid, so that the direction of flow of the fluid can be detected.

A ceramic superconductive magneto-resistive element which has weak grain boundaries is highly sensitive to weak magnetic fields. The magnetic field is measured by the use of an electronic circuit. A comparator is used for comparing an output and reference voltage of the element. When there is a difference between the output and reference voltage bias current is used to equalize these voltages.

Occurrence of high field domain in the conventional Gunn diode is prevented by covering a solid body such as a semiconductor element partially or wholly by a dielectric member or by a control element such as a metallic layer coupled reactively with the solid body through a dielectric member, whereby a solid state element having a negative differential conductivity is obtained. Such a type of negative-resistance solid state element, together with its various modes of embodimental construction disclosed herein, affords a superior solid state element which is applicable to amplifiers, oscillators, logic memories, and the like of millimeter or submillimeter bands.

A logic circuit device includes a superconductive body formed of a ceramic superconductive material. The ceramic superconductive material has random grain boundaries which act as weak couplings. The ceramic superconductive material also has a magneto-resistive property. There is at least one conductor arranged near the ceramic superconductive body in order to exert a magnetic field on the ceramic superconductive body. The ceramic superconductive body changes its resistance in response to the magnetic field generated by the conductor. The ceramic superconductive body can be used as part of a logic circuit.

Disclosed is a displacement sensor, comprising a pair of plates of magnetic bubble material disposed parallelly to each other across a space and a galvanomagnetic element disposed within the magnetic field formed in the aforementioned space and adapted to be allowed to move parallelly to the inner surfaces of the aforementioned pair of plates. The sensor thus constructed detects displacement or vibration with the galvanomagnetic element retained in a non-contact relation with the pair of plates on the principle that the output signal from the galvanomagnetic element varies in proportion to the amount of movement of this element in the space in response to displacement or vibration.
