A controller includes: a communication attachment member configured to be detachably attached to a measuring device body; a second light emitter/receiver provided to a communication attachment member and configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from a first light emitter/receiver of the measuring device body; and a second controller configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from the second light emitter/receiver. An electronic circuit unit, electronic calibration unit, first control unit, signal transmission unit and the first light emitter/receiver are provided inside a housing of the measuring device body. A window is hermetically provided to a plate of the measuring device body. The communication attachment member includes a cover configured to be disposed so that the second light emitter/receiver faces the window and an engagement portion provided to the cover to be engageable with the housing.

A sensor assembly with a sensing element sends a sensor signal from the sensing element to attached process transmitter over sensor connection wires. The sensor assembly has memory circuitry for storing information related to the sensor assembly and interface circuitry that provides for digital communication of the stored information with the attached process transmitter. This digital communication is sent over the sensor connection wires.

An exhaust temperature sensor fault diagnosis method of a hybrid vehicle includes: determining whether a starting of the vehicle is turned on depending on an operation of a starter switch; determining whether a fault diagnosis condition of the exhaust temperature sensor is satisfied; diagnosing the fault of the exhaust temperature sensor if the fault diagnosis condition of the exhaust temperature sensor is satisfied; determining whether the engine is driving during the fault of the exhaust temperature sensor is diagnosed; and finishing the fault diagnosis of the exhaust temperature sensor if the engine is not driving.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a method that acquires operating frequencies for a first set of ring oscillators disposed in a first integrated circuit, determines one or more first coefficients and a first constant for each ring oscillator in the first set, and determines a correlation between each of the first coefficients and the first constant. Also, the method may acquire a single operating frequency for each of a second set of ring oscillators in a second integrated circuit at a single pre-determined temperature so as to determine a second constant, predict one or more second coefficients for each ring oscillator in the second set based on the second constant and the correlation, and derive a temperature dependence based on the single operating frequency using the one or more second coefficients and the second constant for each of the second set of ring oscillators.
