Abstract: A hydraulic parking brake device is selectively
switched between a braking state and a non-braking state. A
braking force decreases as a pressure in the control oil
chamber increases and increases as the pressure in the
control oil chamber decreases. The device includes a
discharged oil restrictor located in a discharge passage and
an accumulator connected to the control oil chamber. The
accumulator is capable of releasing hydraulic oil to the
control oil chamber when the braking force is greater than
that at the time when the parking brake device is switched
from the non-braking state to the braking state and the
braking force can further be increased during the braking
state of the parking brake device. Thus, the parking brake
device can gradually brake the vehicle from the running
state.

The humidity sensitive porous layer (13) assumes a skeletal structure that is formed of crystalline phase oxide grains covered or coated with the glass phase. A heater (17) of the humidity sensor is controlled to heat the humidity-sensitive element section (3) at a temperature ranging from 500°C to 800°C so as to clean off the humidity-sensitive element section while an internal combustion engine is running and exhausting fouling substances. Measurement of Humidity in an exhaust gas exhausted from an exhaust gas purifying apparatus of an internal combustion engine is carried out by using the humidity sensor (1), so long as the exhaust gas temperature does not exceed 100°C regardless of whether or not the engine is running.
