    摘要: A particulate-matter detecting sensor including an insulating substrate which has a detecting face, detecting conductors formed in the insulating substrate, and a heating section formed on the insulating substrate. Each detecting conductor includes a detecting electrode part, a terminal part, and a connecting part. A portion of the detecting conductor is constituted of a noble metal conductor mainly formed of at least one noble metal selected from Pt, Au, Pd, Rh and Ir. At least a portion of the connecting part is formed of a low expansion conductor mainly formed of a low expansion coefficient metal having linear expansion coefficient lower than that of the noble metal. Both conductors are joined at an overlapping part at which the noble metal conductor and the low expansion conductor are partly overlapped with each other on an insulating layer forming the insulating substrate in a normal line direction of the insulating layer.

    摘要: A gas sensor device includes a sensing element including a heating element and electronic circuitry in connection with the heating element. The sensing element forms resistive element in a circuit of the electronic circuitry. The electronic circuity operates the sensing element in a trigger mode via a pulsed energy input to the heating element at a first duty cycle and in a primary mode via a pulsed energy input to the heating element at a second duty cycle, which is greater than the first duty cycle. The electronic circuitry is further configured to measure a response of the sensing element over time during each pulse of a plurality of pulses of the pulsed energy input. The primary mode is entered upon measurement of a value of a response at or above a threshold value in the trigger mode of operation.

    摘要: A method of operating a sensing element including a heating element in operative connection with electronic circuitry, wherein the sensing element forms a resistive element in a circuit of the electronic circuitry, includes, in at least a first phase, activating the electronic circuitry to heat the sensing element to a temperature at which the sensing element is responsive to an analyte gas via energy input to the heating element in a pulsed manner. A constant resistance setpoint is set for the sensing element and energy through the circuit is variably controlled via the pulsed energy input toward achieving the constant resistance setpoint. The method further includes measuring a response of the sensing element over time to the pulsed energy input.

    摘要: This invention discloses a force sensor array, characterized in that it comprises: a circuit board, a plurality of gas pressure sensors arranged on the circuit board, and an energy-absorbing film layer covering the gas nozzle of each gas pressure sensor; the said energy-absorbing film layer has a certain elastic deformability, and can convert impact kinetic energy into heat energy. Through the provision of the energy-absorbing film layer, circuit board and other structures, when pressure is applied slowly, the energy-absorbing film layer of this invention shows the characteristics of solid to transfer pressure; different gas pressure sensors sense different pressure values during stress. The circuit board collects the pressure values fed back by the gas pressure sensors to show the spatial distribution of stress. When impact bursting force is applied to the energy-absorbing film layer, the energy-absorbing film layer converts kinetic energy into heat energy for dissipation, which can buffer impact and absorb more than 95% of the impact energy to improve the bursting resistance of the entire array. In addition, it is cost-effective.

    摘要: Provided is a catalytic combustion typed gas sensor of detecting a combustible gas having a concentration equal to or more than a predetermined value based on a raised electric resistance. Herein, combustion heat generated when a combustible gas contacts to a catalytic metal (or detection element) heated by passing electric current therethrough raises a temperature and electric resistance of the catalytic metal. The electric current is made to pass through the catalytic metal such that the temperature of the catalytic metal becomes a standby temperature which is calculated by subtracting the raised temperature portion from a desorption temperature. The combustion heat is generated when the combustible gas contacts to the catalytic metal. Note the catalytic metal adsorbs a silicone compound via a silicon (Si) poisoning process and then desorbs the resulting adsorbed silicone compound at the desorption temperature. The desorption temperature is set in the range over 350° C. to 600° C.
