  • Publication number: 20240102957
    Abstract: In an electrochemical gas sensor (10), a first sensing element (21) is stored in a first storage portion (31). A moisture permeable film (24) is disposed in a first introduction inlet (31A) of the first storage portion (31). The moisture permeable film (24) substantially prevents a to-be-detected gas from permeating therethrough. A second sensing element (22) is disposed in a space into which water vapor and the to-be-detected gas contained in a target gas flow. In such a configuration, the electrochemical gas sensor (10) is capable of detecting a to-be-detected gas having a concentration of 0 or more and 1 ppm or less.

  • Patent number: 8289227
    Abstract: Identification information of another image communication apparatus is received, as transmitter information indicating a transmitter, from the another image communication apparatus, and display is performed so as to indicate the transmitter on display means in accordance with the transmitter information having been received, and a user is allowed to select whether or not an image is to be received from the another image communication apparatus having transmitted the transmitter information. Next, its own identification information is transmitted, as destination information indicating a destination, to the another image communication apparatus which is selected as the transmitter from which an image is to be received. An image is received from the another image communication apparatus to which the destination information is transmitted, and the received image is stored in storage means.
