Abstract: An apparatus for accurately dispensing a predetermined amount of viscous liquid such as conductive adhesive, cream solder and the like. The apparatus includes a first pressure sensor arranged in a pipe line connected between a dispensing solenoid valve and a syringe, and a second pressure sensor and an accumulator arranged in a pipe line connected between the dispensing solenoid value and an air supply so that an output is controlled in accordance with variation of an integral valve of pressure measured by the first pressure sensor integrated with a preset output time of the shifting output signal thereby controlling the dispensing of liquid based on the remaining amount of liquid in the syringe and the variation in the internal pressure in the syringe to accurately discharge the predetermined amount of liquid and prevent dripping of liquid from the syringe.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing apparatus comprises a syringe containing liquid to be dispensed and an air supply for supplying compressed air to the syringe. The syringe is connected to the compressed air supply via a discharging solenoid valve by means of a pipe line which is provided with an accumulator so as to prevent disturbance of stand-up of the pressure in the syringe to thereby effect a highly accurate quantitative discharge of liquid from the syringe independent of whether a quantity of liquid remaining in the syringe is much or less. The apparatus further comprises an air suction connected to the discharge solenoid valve by means of an additional pipe line provided with an accumulator to prevent liquid from dropping out of the syringe after the end of discharge of liquid.

Abstract: A humidity sensing portion (7) and an electrode (9) of a heating regeneration type humidity sensor provided with a heater (8) are covered by a casing (12) and a holding portion (11). An opening (6) for communication between placing the interior and exterior of the sensor in communication is formed in the casing (12) or the holding portion (11) so that a solid angle, of a vertex at the central portion of the humidity sensing portion (7) or the casing (12) of a polyhedron having a base bounded by the opening is within the range of 1/1000-1/10 radian, and thus, adhesion of harmful substances, especially inorganic harmful substances, onto the humidity sensing portion (7) or the electrode (9) is prevented.
