摘要： In a temperature sensor including a pair of electrode wires for signal lead-out, bonded to both opposing end faces of a thermistor device, this invention aims at preventing peeling, of bond portions, between the electrode wires and the thermistor device. This object can be accomplished by sealing the thermistor device 3 and the bond portions between the thermistor device 3 and the electrode wires 4 by using an electrically insulating glass member 6, and holding the pair of electrode wires 4 by using a holding member 8 made of an electrically insulating ceramic while a gap is kept between them.

摘要： A temperature sensor may include a capacitor, a circuit element coupled in series with the capacitor and having a resistance that varies with temperature, and a controller. The controller is for charging/discharging the capacitor through the circuit element, measuring a charging/discharging time required to charge/discharge the capacitor to a predetermined threshold, and determining a temperature based upon the charging/discharging time. More specifically, the circuit element may be a thermistor, for example. The temperature sensor may further include at least one calibration resistor coupled between the controller and the capacitor. As such, the controller may sequentially charge/discharge the capacitor through the circuit element and the at least one calibration resistor, measure respective charging/discharging times required to charge/discharge the capacitor to the predetermined threshold through the circuit element and the at least one calibration resistor, and determine the temperature based upon the charging/discharging times.

摘要： A multipoint temperature sensor for measuring fluid temperature in a duct includes multiple thermistors of equal resistance, spaced apart in a circuit. Each thermistor has a positive lead and a negative lead for connecting electrically with the circuit. Wires connect the thermistors such that half of the thermistors are placed in parallel with the other half of the thermistors. The total number of thermistors in the circuit is a perfect square. Shrinkwrap fits over the thermistors and the leads. Tabs disposed on bridging clips bend around the shrinkwrap and the wires on either side of each thermistor such that the tabs do not overlap the leads. All the wires between adjacent thermistors are contained in a single, plenum rated sheathing.

摘要： Measurement of environment parameters beyond a barrier without having to make a hole in the barrier to connect a sensor to the other circuitry may be made using a primary inductor on one side of the barrier inductively coupled to a secondary inductor on the other side of the barrier. A thermistor or other sensor is connected to the secondary inductor and disposed with the secondary inductor on the other side of the barrier. A pulse generator causes a first current through the primary inductor that is modified by a mutually induced second current through the secondary inductor, that is further determined by the resistance or impedance of the thermistor or sensor. A measuring circuit converts the peak current value into a value representative of the temperature or other environment parameter surrounding the sensor.

摘要： A temperature sensor incorporating flexible circuit technology. A flexible circuit sensor subassembly is composed of a flexible printed circuit substrate on which is printed a sensor circuit. In a preferred example the flexible circuit sensor subassembly, the sensor circuit has a sensor at a distal end, as for example a surface mount device (SMD) thermistor, a plurality of trace pads at a proximate end, and an interconnecting conductive trace between each trace pad and the sensor. A crimp terminal is respectively crimped onto each trace pad to provide a flexible circuit sensor assembly, wherein the crimp terminals are configured as needed for interfacing with an external circuit. The location of the sensor may be selectively located anywhere on the conductive traces to thereby easily size the probe length of the flexible circuit sensor subassembly to suit a any particular application and fit into any housing. A housing id molded over the flexible circuit sensor assembly. The housing either alone or located in an external shell provides a temperature sensor for a particular purpose. In a variation of the flexible circuit sensor assembly, electronic components can be integrated with the sensor circuit to provide a smart sensor circuit, which may include multiple sensing devices.

摘要： The present invention is generally directed towards a temperature sensing device installed in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The temperature sensing device comprises an housing made of a thermally conductive material. The housing has a closed portion and an extended portion. When the housing is installed in the cylinder head, the extended portion undergoes an axial deformation and establishes a thermal contact between the housing and the cylinder head. The closed portion has a cavity where an insert formed of a resin is inserted inside the cavity. A sensing element disposed inside the insert is forced into contact with the housing. Therefore, the sensing element is in contact with the housing. The housing is further in contact with the cylinder head to accurately measure the temperature of the cylinder head.
