Abstract: A thermal flow sensor can adjust the temperature of a heating element in a highly precise and reliable manner with the use of simple circuits, devices and process steps. The sensor includes an amplifier section (7) that amplifies a voltage across opposite ends of at least one of resistors (3, 4, 5) that constitute a bridge circuit, a current control section (9) that is controlled based on an output voltage of the amplifier section (7), and an output terminal (14) that is connected to one end of a heating element (1) that is controlled to be energized by the current control section (9). The amplifier section (7) includes an amplification factor control section for controlling an amplification factor by an electric signal from a computer, and uses an output voltage which has been amplified and impressed to an input voltage to an operational amplifier (8).

Abstract: The electromagnetic clutch comprises a rotor connected to a drive source, an inner hub connected to a device that follows, an outer plate provided on the outside of the inner hub so as to enclose it, an armature coupled to the outer plate and opposing the rotor, an elastic member provided between the inner hub and the outer plate and adhered thereto, and an electromagnetic coil for, when magnetized, attracting the armature together with the outer plate to make them come into contact with the rotor, and when demagnetized, separating the outer plate and the armature from the rotor. Because of the configuration in which the armature and the outer plate are coupled in a heat-transmissible manner, a part of elastic member is formed so that heat is transmitted from at least a part of the armature to the part of the elastic member as if they are one piece.

Abstract: A flow sensor need not have any special terminal for voltage value supply, and can obtain a ratiometric output function at low cost and small size. A calculation circuit calculates, as a reference voltage Vr, a voltage value Vref of an A/D conversion reference power supply in a fuel injection control unit from a terminal voltage of a temperature sensor, and supplies the reference voltage Vr thus calculated by the calculation circuit to a ratiometric output circuit. As a result, a ratiometric output function can be achieved while making it unnecessary a special terminal used only for the purpose of supplying the voltage value Vref.
