20110259079 | GAS SENSOR - A gas sensor is capable of detecting a concentration of PM contained in an exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine. The gas sensor is comprised of a ceramic substrate and detection parts which are formed on the ceramic substrate with resistance parts. A resistance value of each of the resistance parts is changed on the basis of the quantity of conductive particulate matter captured by and accumulated on the detection parts. The detection parts have a different detection range. A part of the detection range of each of the detection parts is overlapped together. The concentration of PM contained in the target detection gas is detected on the basis of the change of the resistance value of the resistance parts. | 10-27-2011 |
20110314796 | PARTICULATE MATTER DETECTION SENSOR AND CONTROL DEVICE OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A particulate matter (PM) detection sensor is placed in an exhaust gas pipe of a diesel engine. The PM sensor element has a detection part composed of a pair of detection electrodes and a heater part. The detection electrodes and the heater part are stacked in the PM sensor element. A control circuit instructs a heater power supply to supply electric power to the heater part when the diesel engine is started to operate. The heater part heats the detection part at a predetermined temperature T | 12-29-2011 |
