Patent number: 11255733Abstract: An environment sensor includes a heat generation component, a first sensor and a second sensor disposed such that conductive heat resistances between the first sensor and the heat generation component and between the second sensor and the heat generation component are different from each other, and a controller. The first sensor and the second sensor are capable of measuring a predetermined physical quantity. The first sensor and the second sensor obtain a measured value from the predetermined physical quantity. The measured value fluctuates depending on ambient temperature. The controller is configured to correct the measurement value of one of the first sensor and the second sensor based on the measurement value of the first sensor and the measurement value of the second sensor when the predetermined physical quantity is measured.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Kayo Nakamura, Naotsugu Ueda, Ryusuke Sakai, Hiroyuki Mino, Yuhei Motoki, Shuichi Misumi
