GAS SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482431 titled 'GAS SENSOR
The gas sensor described in the patent application is designed to accurately measure the concentration of a gas by generating a gas detection signal and correcting the output signal based on the gas detection signal.
- The sensor part generates a gas detection signal based on the concentration of the gas to be measured.
- The control circuit processes the gas detection signal to generate an output signal indicating the concentration of the gas.
- The control circuit adjusts the output signal to indicate a higher concentration of the gas when the gas detection signal is below a reference value for normal gas concentrations.
- This correction ensures that the output signal reflects the true concentration of the gas, even when the gas detection signal is lower than expected.
Potential Applications: - Environmental monitoring - Industrial gas detection systems - Safety equipment for detecting hazardous gases
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate measurement of gas concentrations - Compensates for variations in gas detection signals - Improves the reliability of gas sensors in different conditions
Benefits: - Enhanced accuracy in gas concentration measurements - Increased reliability of gas detection systems - Improved safety in industrial and environmental settings
Commercial Applications: Gas sensor technology can be utilized in various industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, and safety equipment markets.
Questions about Gas Sensor Technology: 1. How does the gas sensor correct the output signal based on the gas detection signal? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this gas sensor technology in different environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein is a gas sensor that includes a sensor part configured to generate a gas detection signal in accordance with a concentration of a gas to be measured, and a control circuit configured to generate an output signal indicating the concentration of the gas to be measured based on the gas detection signal. The control circuit is configured to correct the output signal so that the output signal indicates a concentration of the gas to be measured higher than that indicated by the gas detection signal when a level of the gas detection signal output from the sensor part is less than a reference value corresponding to a level of the gas detection signal which is normally obtained when a concentration of the gas to be measured is a concentration value in normal time.
