Publication number: 20180299404Abstract: A sensor control apparatus (1) calculates the concentration of oxygen using a gas sensor (3) including a sensor element (11) and a heater (12). The sensor control apparatus (1) repeatedly obtains internal resistance data representing an internal resistance value Rpvs of an oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte body (14) and pump current data representing the value of pump current Ip which flows between a pair of pump electrodes (15) and (16) and whose value varies with the concentration of oxygen. The sensor control apparatus (1) corrects the value of the pump current Ip based on the internal resistance value Rpvs, a target internal resistance value, and a derivative value dRpvs/dt calculated based on a plurality of the repeatedly obtained internal resistance values Rpvs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Takanori NUNOME, Satoshi TERAMOTO, Shoichi HASEGAWA, Tomomi IMAIDA

Patent number: 4324764Abstract: A process for the continuous leaching of ores and an apparatus for practising this continuous leaching process are disclosed. According to this process, a plurality of unit layers composed of a pulverized uranium ore or other ore are continuously laminated while a minimum necessary amount of an acid, alkali or organic solvent (hereinafter referred to as "solvent") is uniformly sprinkled on the flat surfaces of these unit layers. In the state where the concentration of the solvent mixed into the ore is maintained at a high level, the heat generated by exothermic reaction caused by contact among the solvent, ore and water is effectively stored and used for thermally curing the ore. According to this process, the speed of extraction of the intended metal component can be increased, the leaching time shortened and the filtration characteristics improved, whereby a highly concentrated pregnant liquor can be recovered at a high efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1980Date of Patent: April 13, 1982Assignee: International Resources Company, Ltd.Inventors: Shoichi Hasegawa, Thoru Yamashita, Mitsuo Kameda
