Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: The sensor malfunction detection system for a gas-turbine engine is configured to determine or check once every first predetermined time period whether the outputted value from the sensor is within a permissible range and determines that the sensor is faulty when the result of the check is at least one result between the case of the number of times the outputted value is found not to be within the permissible range exceeding a first predetermined value and the case of the number of times the outputted value is consecutively found not to be within the permissible range exceeding a second predetermined value. The system can avoid erroneous detection of transient abnormalities caused by noise or the like as sensor malfunction, and can promptly detect sensor malfunction owing to wire breakage or the like. The system can therefore detect sensor malfunction with good accuracy using a simple configuration.

Patent CA-2518177-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUCHEROV YAN R
IPC: H01L31/00
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: A solid-state energy converter with a semiconductor or semiconductor-metal implementation is provided for conversion of thermal energy to electric energy, or electric energy to refrigeration. In n-type heat-to-electricity embodiments, a highly dopedn* emitter region made of a metal or semiconductor injects carriers into an n-type gap region. A p-type layer is positioned between the emitter region and gap region, allowing for discontinuity of corresponding Fermi-levels and forming a potential barrier to sort electrons by energy. Additional p-type layers can optionally be formed on the collector side of the converter. One type of these layers with higher carrier concentration (p*) serves as a blocking layer at the cold side of the converter, and another layer (p**) with carrier concentration close to the gap reduces a thermoelectric back flow component. Ohmic contacts on both sides of the device close the electrical circuit through an external load to convert heat to electricity. In the case of a refrigerator, the external load is substituted by an external power supply.
