摘要:
Provided are a data obtaining section (21) that obtains a time-series data fluctuating in accordance with the plasma conditions, a translation error calculation section (24) that calculates a determinism providing an indicator of whether the time-series data in the plasma are deterministic or stochastic, from the time-series data that have been obtained in the data obtaining unit (21), and an abnormal discharge determination section (26) that determines that the plasma is under the abnormal discharge conditions, in the case that the value representing the determinism calculated in the determinism derivation unit is less than or equal to a given threshold value, during the plasma generation. Examples of the value representing the determinism include translation error or permutation entropy. In the case the permutation entropy is used as a value representing the determinism, a permutation entropy calculation section is provided.

An apparatus for detecting an impedance variable in response to a sensed physical amount of a sensor is provided which comprises an impedance-frequency conversion unit and a counter. The impedance-frequency conversion unit converts the sensor impedance to an oscillation signal a frequency of which corresponds to the sensor impedance. The impedance-frequency conversion unit comprises an impedance-voltage converter for providing a voltage corresponding to the sensor impedance, and a Wien bridge oscillator including an element an impedance of which varies in response to the voltage from the impedance-voltage converter, for generating the oscillation signal. The Wien bridge oscillator is capable of generating a square wave signal as the oscillation signal. The counter counts the number of waves (or wave number) of the oscillation signal in a predetermined time period to output a count value which can be handled as a digital signal.

A detection circuit which is capable of outputting a voltage proportional to a static capacitance of a sensor is provided, which comprises a voltage input terminal connected to receive an input voltage and an operational amplifier. The input voltage received at the voltage input terminal is changed between two different reference voltages. An inverting input terminal of the amplifier is connected to the voltage input terminal through a resistor, and a non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier is connected to the voltage input terminal through the sensor capacitance and to one of the reference voltages through a switch. An output voltage of the amplifier is connected to the inverting input terminal through a feedback circuit including a resistor and a switch. The switches are closed and the one of the reference voltages is supplied to the input terminal during an initialization cycle. The switches are opened and the other reference voltage is supplied to the input terminal during a measurement cycle. The operational amplifier outputs an output voltage which linearly varies in response to the sensor capacitance.
