  • Patent number: 11982659
    Abstract: A system for calibrating a moisture sensor encompasses a processing unit (341). The processing unit (341) includes a reference data obtaining LCKT (345), a subject data obtaining LCKT (346) and a relationship calculating LCKT (347). The reference data obtaining LCKT (345) obtains reference data, after injecting water-vapor with known concentrations into an analyzer. The subject data obtaining LCKT (346) measures subject data indicating temporal variation of output-responses of a subject sensor element of the analyzer under test. The relationship calculating LCKT (347) compares the subject data with the reference data, and calculates relationships between the output-responses of the subject sensor element and the known concentrations.

  • Patent number: 8037639
    Abstract: In a door opening/closing device having a motor base and a sensor case, a rotation sensor is provided. The rotation sensor includes a magnetic member provided adjacent an end of a rotation shaft and a detecting element that is arranged so as to detect a magnetic flux that is generated from the magnetic member in a direction crossing a magnetic flux that is generated from an electromagnetic clutch arranged around the rotation shaft. The motor base is attached to the sensor case such that the end of the rotation shaft extends outside of the motor base and the rotation sensor is arranged adjacent the end of the rotation shaft.
