A nitrogen-oxide (NOx) sensor control system includes a NOx sensor analog front-end, a temperature sensor analog front-end, and a processing system. The NOx sensor analog front-end is adapted to receive analog NOx sensor signals from a NOx sensor and is configured to convert the analog NOx sensor signals to digital NOx sensor signals. The temperature sensor analog front-end is adapted to receive analog temperature sensor signals from a temperature sensor and is configured to convert the analog temperature sensor signals to digital temperature sensor signals. The processing system is coupled to receive the digital NOx sensor signals and the digital temperature sensor signals and is configured, in response thereto, to: supply the digital NOx sensor signals to an external system, and control a flow of current to a heater element in the NOx sensor.

A multiphase thermal interface component, a method of forming the same, and an electronic device testing apparatus provided with the same are provided. The multiphase thermal interface component includes a thermal interface solid element and a thermal interface fluid material. The thermal conductive surface of the thermal interface solid element has an accommodation space, and the thermal interface fluid material is accommodated in the accommodation space. Therefore, the multiphase thermal interface component combines solid-phase and fluid-phase thermal interface materials. Since fluids have the properties of changing shape, flowing, and splitting arbitrarily, the thermal interface fluid material can completely fill up the air gaps between the thermal interface solid element and the thermal control device/the temperature-controlled component, so that the full surface temperature control of the contact interface can be achieved, thereby effectively improving the thermal conduction performance.

A valve device A of a hot water apparatus WH is capable of sequentially executing flow rate control in a temperature adjustment range mode and a flow rate adjustment range mode, as control modes, in a process where a rotation angle of a motor drive shaft 8 for a valve operation changes between a predetermined first angle 1 and a second angle 2. The temperature adjustment range mode is capable of changing a mixing flow rate ratio of heated hot water from a heat exchanger 11 and bypass hot water to adjust the hot water outlet temperature to the exterior. The flow rate adjustment range mode is capable of adjusting a total flow rate of hot water flowing through the valve device so that the flow rate of the heated hot water is changed while maintaining the flow rate of the bypass hot water at or below a predetermined minimum flow rate. In response to a first condition being satisfied in which the outlet side temperature Tout of the heat exchanger 11 is higher than a predetermined reference temperature Ta, change from the temperature adjustment range mode and from a boundary between the temperature adjustment range mode and the flow rate adjustment range mode to the flow rate adjustment range mode is prohibited.
