  • Patent number: 5589094
    Abstract: This invention is related to a sensor for detecting food temperature, which can control cooking more precisely by detecting change of food temperature utilizing the heat absorption rate difference of black bodies and non-black bodies to permit cooking control when cooking below boiling point, such as thawing or warming up.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5560711
    Abstract: A temperature comfort sensing device is disclosed which comprises a single diaphragm having a thin film heater and a temperature sensor. A plurality of thermocouples, a room temperature sensor and a black body are formed over the single diaphragm. The thin film heater corresponds to an internal heat exchanging mechanism of a human being, and the thermocouples serve to sense skin temperature condition.

  • Patent number: 5500531
    Abstract: This invention relates to a sensor for detecting ultra-violet rays suitable for mass-production. The sensor for detecting ultra-violet rays includes one that is formed by junction of an upper layer with a lower layer so as to face each other across an air cavity, which lower layer includes a silicon substrate having a cavity, an insulation layer formed on all over the silicon substrate, a photoelectric pole part formed on the insulation layer and a protection layer formed on the photoelectric part, and which upper layer includes a glass substrate having a transmissive characteristic to ultra-violet rays, and an anode part formed on the glass substrate.

  • Patent number: 5374123
    Abstract: A temperature comfort sensing device and a method for manufacturing the same, capable of achieving comfortable air conditioning by detecting an average temperature comfort sensitivity to a room environment and thus analogizing a correct predicted mean vote value. The temperature comfort sensing device comprises a lower diaphragm having a thin film heater and a temperature sensor, and an upper diaphragm having a plurality of thermocouples, a room temperature sensor and a black body. Alternatively, the temperature comfort sensing device comprises a single diaphragm having a thin film heater and a temperature sensor. Directly formed over the single diaphragm are a plurality of thermocouples, a room temperature sensor and a black body. The sensor is based on a model of the human body, with the thin film heater corresponding to an internal heat exchanging mechanism of a human being. The thermocouples serve to sense a skin temperature condition.
