Publication number: 20190359032Abstract: A radiant heater device has an electrode embedded in a substrate part and a plurality of heating parts. The electrodes are formed by material that has low specific resistance. An area occupied by the electrode is restricted. The heating parts are formed by material having high specific resistance in order to generate heat so that radiation is produced. The electrode and the heating part are electrically connected within the substrate part. The plurality of heating parts are arranged in parallel between a pair of electrodes. The electrodes and the heating parts are formed in a film-like shape, and the thermal capacity is reduced. As a result, a temperature of the heating parts rises promptly in response to a turning on of power. In addition, the temperature of the heating parts promptly decreases when an object comes into contact therewith.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Yasuhiro SAGOU, Takuya KATAOKA, Asami OKAMOTO, Manabu MAEDA, Koji OTA, Masayuki AOYAMA, Kouji KONDOH, Motoki SHIMIZU, Yoshihiko SHIRAISHI, Yoshitarou YAZAKI, Keita SAITOU

Patent number: 10220812Abstract: A heat flux sensor is installed in such a way that heat flux emanating from a biological object present at a predetermined position is detectable. It is determined whether or not a biological object is present at the predetermined position by comparing sensing results of the heat flux sensor with determination criteria. The determination criteria is preset according to heat flux that can be sensed when a biological object is present at the predetermined position. When the sensing results of the heat flux sensor satisfy the determination criteria, in other words, when the heat flux sensed by the heat flux sensor is the heat flux emanating from a biological object, it is determined that a biological object is present at the predetermined position. Consequently, it is possible to realize accurate detection of a biological object.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Keita Saitou, Yoshihiko Shiraishi, Yoshitaro Yazaki, Yasuhiro Tanaka, Eijirou Miyagawa, Motoki Shimizu, Toshikazu Harada, Atusi Sakaida, Toshihisa Taniguchi, Norio Gouko
