摘要:
A thermal flow sensor comprising a heat-sensitive electrical resistor having a substantially uniform temperature profile so that the heat radiation which causes a measurement error is decreased. The resistor element of the resistor comprises a main heat-sensitive section having a first resistance temperature coefficient and a thermal bullet section having a second resistance temperature coefficient greeter than the first temperature coefficient by at least 1,000 ppm, the thermal buffer section being positioned in the vicinity of the support means. The first temperature coefficient may be a negative value and the second temperature coefficient may be a positive value and the base member may be made of zirconia. Alternatively, the thermal flow sensor of the present invention may comprises the heat-sensitive resistor element which has a negative resistance temperature coefficient along its entire length.

A cage 100 comprising rings 101a, 101b and a plurality of elastic rods 102 are secured to facing ends 20c, 30c of an upper shaft 20 and a lower shaft 30, and movable elements 200 are secured to and span two of the elastic rods 102. Wings 203, 213 on the movable elements 200 are displaced radially by a large amount in response to a slight twisting of the elastic rods 102. This radial displacement is detected by a detection means, such as coils 41a, 41b, which generates a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit which includes the wings 203, 213 and detects the displacement as electromagnetic change. The tips of the wings 203, 213 extend axially along the elastic rods and the wings 203, 213 are displaced radially in accordance with changes in the attitude of body portions 201 in response to changes in torque. Two wings 203, 213 and two detection means 41a, 41b are disposed facing each other for each body portion 201.

A semiconductor pressure sensor comprising two pressure sensing diaphragms attached to a support frame embedded within a bonding agent joining two parts of a housing which defines therein fluid passages in communication with two pressure sensing diaphragms. The support frame includes a support plate portion and terminal portions having the inner ends embedded within the bonding agent and the outer ends projecting outwardly of the bonding agent for external connections. The support frame is formed by cutting a lead frame, which has a support frame portion, terminal portions and a surrounding frame integrally connected together, substantially along the outer contour of the housing except for the terminals. A method for manufacturing the pressure sensor is also disclosed.

摘要:
A torque detector having a simple structure, high accuracy and high rigidity. The torque detector comprises movable bodies whose both ends are fixed to or supported by the first shaft and the second shaft, which are arched and whose center portions are displaced by a change in the curvature of the arch due to a change in the distance between the fixed both ends of the movable bodies according to a relative torsion angle between the first shaft and the second shaft.

An automatic document feeder includes a feeding path and a plurality of feed roller sets. Through the feeding path, an original document is fed in one direction from a paper supply port to a paper discharge port. The plurality of the feed roller sets are arranged along the feeding path to be spaced apart from each other. When one side of an original document is scanned and when both sides of an original document are scanned, the plurality of the feed roller sets nip the original document to feed the original document along the feeding path. In this case, the plurality of the feed roller sets are all involved in feeding the original document.

Disclosed is a vehicle antitheft device not requiring a contract with a security company, etc., and increasing a vehicle antitheft effect. In the vehicle there are provided a camera or a microphone, and a control device for distinguishing a face or voice of a human by means of an image or sound captured by the camera or microphone, and based on distinction results, executing vehicle theft prevention control operations. The camera is provided at a position capable of capturing a normally seated driver and the outside through a window next to a driver's seat. Further, in the vehicle there is provided a radio communications unit. The control device records the captured image from the camera, judges whether the it is the face image of the person, and if it is, performs control so that the image is sent to a given reporting destination via the radio communications unit.
