  • Sensor for detecting oxidizable gases
    Patent number: 9939397
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting oxidizable gases may comprise a catalytically inactive surface and a catalytically active surface on opposite sides of a sensor element and a thermal element running through the sensor element to connect the two surfaces, with a device for measuring a thermoelectric voltage between the catalytically active surface and the inactive surface as a measure of the difference in temperature and therefore the gas concentration. The sensor may include a hot plate mounted on a base carrier by means of narrow arms, wherein the thermal element includes at least one via extending through the hot plate and connecting the two surfaces to one another, and in the region of which the thermoelectric voltage is measured.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 10, 2018

  • Gas sensor
    Patent number: 9068924
    Abstract: A combined gas sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first and second electrodes are connected via an ion-conducting material. The first electrode is covered, in part, by a first catalytically active material. Further, a resistive gas sensor formed by a third electrode is arranged such that the third electrode is in direct contact with the first catalytic material and is not in direct contact with the first electrode.
