High-temperature chip with high stability
The invention relates to temperature sensors, in particular high-temperature sensors, having an optionally coated substrate, at least one resistor structure, and at least two connection contacts. The connection contacts electrically contact the resistor structure, and the substrate is made of zirconium oxide or a zirconium oxide ceramic stabilized with oxides of a trivalent metal and a pentavalent metal. The substrate is coated with an insulation layer and the resistor structure and the free regions of the insulation layer, on which no resistor structure is disposed, are at least partially coated with a ceramic intermediate layer. A protective layer and/or a cover is disposed on the ceramic intermediate layer. At least one electrode may be disposed, at least at one connection contact, alongside the resistor structure on the substrate. The invention also relates an exhaust-gas system for controlling and/or regulating an engine, particularly a motor vehicle engine, containing these temperature sensors.
Bleed air duct leak system real-time fault detection
A method and apparatus for testing a duct leak detection system of an aircraft is disclosed. A sensor of the duct leak detection system is selected at an interface of the duct leak detection system. An alternating current is sent through the selected sensor and a resistance of the selected sensor is measured using the alternating current. An indicative signal is generated at the interface when the measured resistance of the selected sensor is outside of a specification of the selected sensor.
Wire heated tube with temperature control system for humidifier for respiratory apparatus
A control system for a heated conduit in a respiratory apparatus includes a power supply configured to provide power to the heated conduit and a heating control circuit configured to control an amount of heat generated in the heated conduit. The control system further includes a sensing circuit configured to indicate the temperature of a sensor positioned in the heated conduit by comparing a reference voltage with a sum of a voltage drop through the sensor and a voltage provided to the sensor by the power supply when the heating control circuit is on. When the heating control circuit is off, the voltage drop through the sensor is solely due to current provided by a current source.
