Patent EP-1873517-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAGANO RYOUJI
IPC: G01N27/407
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: A limiting current type oxygen sensor comprises an ion conductor, a pair of electrodes, a gas diffusion mechanism for supplying a diffusion-rate-determined gas, and a heater for heating the ion conductor. The gas diffusion mechanism includes a gas diffusion bore and an internal space communicating with the gas diffusion bore. In a first embodiment, the gas diffusion mechanism is configured such that the thickness (lin) of the internal space is formed equal to or larger than the bore diameter (S1) of the gas diffusion bore. This makes it possible to dominate diffusion-rate-determinateness in the gas diffusion bore and minimize the influence of diffusion-rate-determinateness in the internal space, thereby sensing the limiting current value accurately. In a second embodiment, the gas diffusion mechanism is configured such that an oxygen concentration gradient within the internal space satisfies the following expression: 
1/I lim  = (1/4FDC o2 ){(l/S) + (l in /S in )} 
which is based on a relationship between the Faraday constant (F); a diffusion coefficient (D); an oxygen concentration (C o2 ); a bore area (S) of the gas diffusion bore; a bore length (1) in the axial direction of the gas diffusion bore; a distance (l in ) in the internal space between the first elextrode and the inner surface opposed thereto; an effective cross section (S in ) of the internal space; and an output current value (I lim ).

Abstract: An occupant sensor with a complex arrangement of antenna or a simple single antenna determines a charge or discharge characteristic of the antenna. By determining the change in voltage or current of the antenna as a function of time, any occupant may be detected or characterized. The sensor restricts air bag activation or is used for another purpose. The same or different occupant sensor is used for seat belt warnings. A seat belt latch sensor determines whether a seat belt is being used. The occupant sensor determines whether the seat belt should be used. A driver is warned when a seat belt should be used by an occupant, but is not.
