  • Solid electrolyte gas sensor having a protective bonding layer
    Patent number: 4107018
    Abstract: A solid electrolyte sensor for sensing oxygen in exhaust gases having a solid electrolyte body of a thimble-like design with an inner conductor thereon and a nonreactive but compatible bonding layer of magnesium or calcium oxide over the outer surface of the electrolyte body and a conductive catalyst layer superimposed on the bonding layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 1977
    Date of Patent: August 15, 1978
    Assignee: Bendix Autolite Corporation
    Inventors: James Daniel Bode, Seong Kwan Rhee
  • Barium oxide coated zirconia particle for use in an oxygen extractor
    Patent number: 4092264
    Abstract: A process of manufacturing an oxide material for use in an oxygen generator. A quantity of dry zirconia particles is blended with Barium Peroxide particles and thereafter heated in a nitrogen atmosphere until the Barium Peroxide melts and coats the zirconia particles. The Barium Peroxide coating is subsequently decomposed to Barium Oxide. The Barium Oxide coated zirconia particles are allowed to cool and then passed through a grinder to produce a uniform particle size for oxide material.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: The Bendix Corporation
    Inventors: Peter Hing-Shya Tsang, Richard W. Hradek, James Daniel Bode
  • Gas sensor with protective coating and method of forming same
    Patent number: 4080276
    Abstract: A solid electrolyte oxygen sensor has a protective coating to protect a catalyst or conductive film thereon, which coating is formed as an inorganic reaction product of an oxide material and an inorganic acid which forms a matrix to bond the oxide material as an adherent coating over the film.

  • Fuel break-up disc for injection valve
    Patent number: 4057190
    Abstract: A low-cost precise-metering uniform-fuel-breakup fuel injection valve comprises narrow arcuate slots etched through a thin spray disc located downstream of a metering orifice and comprises a plurality of narrow slots of length and width sufficient to break up the fuel first into thin sheets and then into small droplets of uniform diameter.
