Abstract

A control circuit includes a storage unit, a generation unit, an update unit, and a rotation control unit. The storage unit stores a predetermined number of register values to designate a step frequency of a stepper motor. The generation unit generates a micro step clock signal every time a period corresponding to each of the predetermined number of register values stored in the storage unit elapses. The update unit updates the predetermined number of register values stored in the storage unit every time the generation unit generates the predetermined number of micro step clock signals. The rotation control unit supplies a phase current based on the micro step clock signal generated by the generation unit to the stepper motor to rotate a rotor of the stepper motor by a micro step angle found by equally dividing a step angle of the stepper motor into the predetermined number.

An aging coefficient and a temperature characteristic coefficient are obtained based on a secular change of the difference value obtained in the frequency difference detector and a secular change of the detected temperature during a period where the external clock signal is obtained. Furthermore, a frequency correction value is calculated using the aging coefficient and the temperature characteristic coefficient during a holdover period, and the frequency correction value is added to the frequency setting value.

Abstract

A signal processing circuit includes a clock generating circuit, a divider circuit, a converter, and an amplifier. The clock generating circuit outputs a first clock. The divider circuit divides the first clock to output a second clock having a frequency lower than a frequency of the first clock. The converter converts an input signal into a digital signal based on a first clock output from the clock generating circuit and a second clock output from the divider circuit. The amplifier, disposed between the clock generating circuit and the divider circuit, has a phase variation property opposite to a phase variation property of the divider circuit. The phase variation property of the divider circuit indicates a relationship between a phase variation amount of an output signal with respect to an input signal in the divider circuit and an ambient temperature of the divider circuit.

Abstract

In an OCXO, which outputs an oscillation frequency by oscillating a crystal resonator, a correspondence relationship between an oscillation frequency and an elapsed time at a beginning after a start of oscillation of a first crystal resonator is acquired. Based on the acquired result, data after the beginning and corresponding to a correspondence relationship between an accumulated elapsed time of the oscillation and the oscillation frequency after the start of the oscillation is obtained. Based on the accumulated elapsed time of the oscillation and this data, a frequency setting value is corrected. While an output frequency of the first crystal resonator fluctuates in association with the elapsed time, the output frequency is corrected by the frequency correction value corresponding to the accumulated elapsed time, thereby stabilizing the oscillation frequency.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a temperature detection device with which there is no break in temperature detection when detecting the temperature on the basis of a change in the oscillation frequency of a crystal piece. [Solution] First and second oscillation regions 40, 50 are formed in a crystal piece (14), and the first or second oscillation region 40, 50 is caused to oscillate with a 3x wave or a fundamental wave by the switching of switch units SW1-SW3. Then, respective frequency rates of change F2, F1 for the 3x wave and the fundamental wave in the first oscillation region are found by a data processing unit 6, and from the difference of such rates of change, the temperature is detected. In addition, whether the oscillation of the first oscillation region 40 is abnormal or not is monitored on the basis of the results of measuring the frequency of the first oscillation region 40, and when the oscillation is determined to be abnormal, the second oscillation region 50 is used to detect the temperature from the same difference (F2'-F1').

Abstract

Providing an OCXO having a highly stabilized output frequency. In an oscillator, which is an OCXO, crystal resonators, oscillator circuits, a temperature detector, and a heater circuit are disposed inside a first container, which is supported in a state of floating inside a second container, while a voltage stabilizer circuit for stabilizing a supply voltage supplied to the heater circuit is disposed apart from the first container inside the second container. Therefore, the supply voltage supplied to the heater circuit is stabilized. The voltage stabilizer circuit is less likely to be affected by heat generation of the heater circuit, thus obtaining a stable oscillation frequency output regardless of the environmental temperature.

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a sensing sensor 2 and a sensing device with which it is possible to restrict a deterioration in measurement sensitivity, and to detect or quantify a sensing target. A supply solution flows from a filler opening 23 through a flow path 57 on one surface side of a crystal oscillator 4, to an effluent flow path 53, and a sensing target contained in the supply solution is adsorbed onto an adsorption film 48 provided on the crystal oscillator 4. Further, after rising through the effluent flow path 53 as a result of the hydraulic pressure of the supply solution introduced into the filler opening 23, the supply solution is absorbed by means of an outlet side capillary member 56. When the amount of supply solution on the filler opening side decreases, the hydraulic pressure decreases and it becomes difficult for the supply solution to rise through the effluent flow path 53, thereby forming a state in which the supply solution that is absorbed and pulled into the outlet side capillary member 56 is separated from the supply solution on the flow path 57 side. Thus, even if a buffer solution is supplied to the sensing sensor before the sample solution to be sensed is supplied as the supply solution, dilution of the sample solution as a result of inflow of the buffer solution can be restricted, and a deterioration in the measurement sensitivity can be suppressed.

Abstract

Provided is a technique for measuring with high reliability when sensing an object to be sensed in a sample solution on the basis of frequency variations of a crystal resonator (4). A sensing method causes the object to be sensed to adhere to the crystal resonator (4) to measure the amount of an object to be sensed according to frequency variations based on the result of the addition of mass, wherein an oscillation frequency measurement is taken before the measurement region is set as a liquid phase and thereafter the sample solution is supplied to the measurement region. Thereafter, the liquid components in the measurement region are removed and the oscillation frequency is measured as a gas phase so as to measure the difference in frequency with the oscillation frequency before supplying the sample solution to the measurement region. Therefore, because the piezoelectric resonator oscillates in the gas phase, an error in the oscillation frequency or a reduction in the variation amount of the oscillation frequency caused by the crystal resonator (4) coming into contact with the liquid phase, is suppressed and the object to be sensed can be sensed with high accuracy.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a crystal oscillator that can be fitted with a small and simple-structured support part without adversely affecting an oscillation characteristic, and that has an excellent frequency-temperature characteristic with a high degree of design flexibility. [Solution] Crystallographic X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of a crystal are rotated by -65° to -50° about the X-axis and defined as an X'-axis, a Y'-axis, and a Z'-axis, respectively, and the X'-axis and the Z'-axis are rotated by 40° to 50° about the Y'-axis and defined as an X"-axis and a Z"-axis, respectively. With reference to a reference rectangle which is a rectangle having sides parallel to the X"-axis and the Z"-axis, the crystal oscillator uses a crystal plate 31 that has a shape obtained by expanding at least a pair of opposite sides of the reference rectangle toward the outside of the reference rectangle, and that has longitudinal oscillation modes in the X"-direction and the Z"-direction.

A storage unit (12) stores, in association with the output frequency (fVCO) from the frequency synthesizer (1), combinations of clock frequencies (fclk), reference frequencies (fc), and division numbers (N) for which spurious frequencies do not exist within a preset frequency range and the division number of a variable frequency divider (302) provided in a PLL circuit (3) is the smallest when the DDS (2) is operated by switching the clock signal. Setting units (11, 24) read the setting items stored in the storage unit (12), and perform settings in each unit.

Abstract

Provided are a detection sensor and detection device with which the height of a supply space for a sample solution is lowered and the sensitivity of measurement of an object to be detected can be improved. In the present invention, to one surface side of a crystal oscillator 4 in which an adsorption film 46 for adsorbing an object to be detected is provided to an excitation electrode 42A, a flow path 57 going along the one surface side of the crystal oscillator 4 from one end side to the other end side is formed by causing an upper cover body 21 to press a flow path formation member 5. A recess 84 is provided to the flow path formation member 5 on the surface thereof opposite the flow path 57 at a position facing the flow path 57, and/or to a flow path formation member in a pressing member on the surface thereof opposite a flow path at a position facing the flow path 57. As a result, even if there is strain in the pressing member, deformation of the flow path 57 is suppressed when the flow path formation member 5 is pressed. A sample solution will therefore flow stably through the flow channel 57, thus improving the sensitivity of measurement.

Abstract

Provided is a technique for suppressing the aging of oscillation frequency and obtaining a stable oscillation output in an oscillation device using a piezoelectric oscillator. In an OCXO 1 for outputting an oscillation frequency by oscillating a crystal oscillator, the corresponding relationship between an oscillation frequency and an elapsed time is obtained in an initial time after a first crystal oscillator 11 starts to oscillate. Based on the obtained result, data according to the following corresponding relationship between the accumulated elapsed time of the oscillation after the start of the oscillation and the oscillation frequency is obtained. A frequency setting value is then corrected on the basis of the accumulated elapsed time of the oscillation and this data. The output frequency of the first crystal oscillator 11 varies with elapsed time, but is corrected by a frequency correction value according to the accumulated elapsed time, so that the oscillation frequency becomes stable.
