Abstract: A constant current Iconst is applied to an electromotive
force cell which is interposed between a gap (measurement chamber)
of a fixed atmosphere and an oxygen reference chamber of a constant
oxygen content, for measurement of a resistance value of the
electromotive force cell, whereby the resistance value can be
measured accurately irrespective of an oxygen content in an
atmosphere to be measured by an oxygen sensor element or cell unit.
The resistance value of the electromotive force cell is measured
at a predetermined timing T2 after application of a current is
started, so that a measure resistance value is free of a variation
of a resistance value due to deterioration of porous electrodes
of an electromotive force cell, such a variation being included
in the measured resistance value in case the measurement is done
by using an AC current, and therefore accurate measurement can
be attained. A temperature control methods and temperature
control apparatus for an oxygen sensor, capable of detecting the
temperature accurately without suspending measurement of an
oxygen content for a long period of time are also provided.
Further, a temperature control method and a temperature control
apparatus for an oxygen sensor, capable of detecting not only the
temperature of the electromotive force cell but the temperature
of the pump cell by applying a current or voltage to the
electromotive force cell are provided.

storage medium (200), it uses the current detection
unit (106) to extract, as a reception signal, a change
in transmission carrier current of the loop antenna
(105) caused by the modulated data signal received by
the loop antenna.
