    摘要: A physical quantity measurement device includes a passage flow channel having an inflow port and an outflow port, a branch flow channel branched from the passage flow channel and having a branch inlet into which the fluid flows from the passage flow channel. The branch flow channel has an inclined branch path inclined with respect to the passage flow channel, and the inclined branch path extends from the branch inlet toward the outflow por. An inclination angle of the branch flow channel at the branch inlet with respect to a virtual straight line connecting the inflow port and the outflow port is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value.

    摘要: A decrease in the accuracy after switching of the heating state can be reduced. The physical quantity detecting device includes: a flow rate detecting unit configured to include a heating element to measure a flow rate of a fluid to be measured; a heating element control unit configured to switch a control state of the heating element to any one of a heating state and a heating suppression state; and a signal processing unit configured to process a measured value of the flow rate detecting unit. When the heating element control unit switches the control state, the signal processing unit processes an estimated value determined based on a measured value of the flow rate detecting unit before the switching for a predetermined period immediately after the switching.

    摘要: Disclosed is a thermal flow sensor including a base member and a cover. The base member includes a heater. The cover is formed by an SOI substrate including a silicon substrate, a silicon dioxide film, and a silicon film. The silicon film has a recessed portion defined therein. A main flow passage portion is defined by an exposed surface of the silicon dioxide film which is exposed from the silicon film and which defines a bottom surface of the recessed portion, the silicon film defining a side surface of the recessed portion, and a first principal surface of the cover.

    摘要: Provided is an internal combustion engine control device capable of more appropriately correcting an output value of a flow rate sensor that measures a flow rate of air flowing through an intake flow path of an internal combustion engine, and further reducing an error between a corrected air flow rate and an actual air flow rate as compared to a conventional device. For this purpose, the internal combustion engine control device of the present invention includes an arithmetic device 100 including a fundamental frequency derivation unit 104 that derives a fundamental frequency, a flow rate amplitude calculation unit 107 that extracts a radio frequency of a plurality of frequencies equal to or higher than the fundamental frequency from a pulsation waveform based on the output value of the flow rate sensor as a flow rate radio frequency and calculates an amplitude of the flow rate radio frequency for each frequency, a correction amount derivation unit 108 that derives a correction amount based on the amplitude of the flow rate radio frequency for each frequency, and a flow rate calculation unit 109 that calculates a flow rate of air by using the output value of the flow rate sensor and the correction amount.
