Patent number: 8038933Abstract: A gas sensor is for determining at least one physical quantity of a gas, e.g., an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, the gas sensor having a sensor element that is fixed in a housing of the gas sensor by a seal assembly. The seal assembly includes a sealing element, which has a ceramic and/or a metallic material. After the heat treatment, the sealing element has a maximum decrease in volume of 5 percent, or an increase in volume, based on the volume of the sealing element prior to the heat treatment.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Weyl, Claudio De La Prieta, Andreas Hachtel, Thomas Schulte, Thomas Egner, Juergen Wilde, Markus Siebert, Michael Kupzig, Uwe Glanz, Rainer Mueller, Leonore Schwegler, Petra Kuschel, Andreas Pesch

Patent number: 7832254Abstract: A sensor for determining the concentration of particulates in gas mixtures is described, a soot sensor in particular, having a ceramic sensor body surrounded by a metallic housing and having a first and a second measuring electrode. In this instance, the first measuring electrode is connected to the metallic housing of the sensor or the metallic housing of the sensor is designed as the first measuring electrode. By additional electrodes on the ceramic body, the sensor is operable also as a lambda sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2005Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Harald Guenschel, Uwe Glanz, Stefan Zimmermann, Leonore Schwegler, Juergen Sindel

Publication number: 20080271518Abstract: A gas sensor, in particular for determining the oxygen content in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, having a housing, a sensor element having a multi-layer design which is situated in the housing, and connecting lines lead to the outside for contacting the sensor element. A contacting element of a connecting line penetrates a layer of the sensor element and part of an insulating element situated outside the sensor element. For contacting the sensor element, such a contact configuration makes it possible to directly contact the contacting element of the connecting line, which may be arranged as a contacting pin, to the printed conductor which is formed inside the sensor element.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2005Publication date: November 6, 2008Inventors: Christoph Treutler, Ralf Schmidt, Stefan Henneck, Hans-Joerg Renz, Uwe Glanz, Leonore Schwegler, Juergen Ruth, Juergen Sindel, Stefan Nufer, Henrik Schittenhelm, Georg Rixecker
