Abstract

A temperature sensor used for a mass flow meter is constituted by a flow channel through which a fluid flows, a temperature measuring means which has a temperature measuring point in a central part of a cross section of the flow channel, and a temperature uniformalizing means disposed on an upstream side from the temperature measuring point in the flow channel. The temperature uniformalizing means comprises a grid disposed so as to continuously extend in arbitrary directions perpendicular to a direction in which a fluid flows, and sub flow channels divided by said grid. Thereby, a temperature sensor which can acquire a measured temperature value representing temperature of the fluid even in a case where temperature of the fluid supplied to a mass flow meter from the outside altered can be realized.

Abstract

Mass flow controllers and methods for controlling mass flow controllers are disclosed. A method includes providing a gas through a thermal mass flow sensor of the mass flow controller and processing a sensor signal from the thermal mass flow sensor to produce a flow signal. A total nonlinearity characteristic function is determined based on nonlinearity effects on the flow signal and includes a first and second nonlinearity component function based on a first and second source of nonlinearity respectively. The total nonlinearity characteristic function is calibrated, and the first nonlinearity component function is adjusted responsive to changes in the first source of nonlinearity, after which the total nonlinearity characteristic function is updated. The flow signal is corrected to produce a corrected flow signal using the total nonlinearity characteristic function. A valve of the mass flow controller is controlled using the corrected flow signal and a setpoint signal.

A method includes providing a gas through a thermal mass flow sensor of the mass flow controller and processing a sensor signal from the thermal mass flow sensor to produce a flow signal. A total nonlinearity characteristic function is determined based on nonlinearity effects on the flow signal and includes a first and second nonlinearity component function based on a first and second source of nonlinearity respectively. The total nonlinearity characteristic function is calibrated, and the first nonlinearity component function is adjusted responsive to changes in the first source of nonlinearity, after which the total nonlinearity characteristic function is updated. The flow signal is corrected to produce a corrected flow signal using the total nonlinearity characteristic function. A valve of the mass flow controller is controlled using the corrected flow signal and a setpoint signal.

Abstract

A thermoelectric conversion material includes a sintered body including a main phase including a plurality of crystal grains including Ce, Mn, Fe, and Sb and forming a skutterudite structure, and a grain boundary between crystal grains adjacent to each other. The grain boundary includes a sintering aid phase including at least Mn, Sb, and O. Thus, with respect to a skutterudite-type thermoelectric conversion material including Sb, which is a sintering-resistant material, it is possible to improve sinterability while maintaining a practical dimensionless figure-of-merit ZT, and to reduce processing cost.

Abstract

A rotation detection device includes a sensor unit including plural magnetic sensors and a housing portion covering the magnetic sensors together. The magnetic sensors each include a plate-shaped detection portion including a magnetic detection element to detect a magnetic field from a detection target member and connection terminals extending out of the detection portion. The magnetic sensors are arranged such that the detection portions are aligned in a plate thickness direction thereof. The magnetic detection element is configured to detect a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the plate thickness direction. The sensor unit is positioned such that fore-end portions of the detection portions of the magnetic sensors face toward an axial end face of the detection target member, the fore-end portions being end portions located opposite to the side where the connection terminals extend out.
