  • Publication number: 20240122184
    Abstract: Metal oxide sensors are provided. Systems including the metal oxide sensors and methods for identifying a target gas concentration using the sensors are also provided. A method for increasing the consistency of MOx sensor readings over an in-service interval is provided, comprising: applying a thermal stimulus to a sensor face to reset to a condition substantially devoid of environmental chemical species; a dwell period following the thermal stimulus where the sensor is: (a) held between an ambient temperature and a thermal stimulus temperature, or (b) exposed to temporal patterns of heated and unheated intervals; triggering a reading of electrochemical changes to the sensor caused by chemical species in the environment being sensed, at a consistent time interval after the application of the thermal stimulus; and wherein the application of the thermal stimulus, the dwell period, and the reading of electrochemical changes to the sensor is a thermal stimulus-to-read cycle.

  • Patent number: 4332283
    Abstract: A golf bag assembly for individually supporting and protecting a plurality of golf clubs including a plate member secured to the bag and extending across the bag in proximity to the open upper end. The plate member includes a plurality of apertures to receive the shafts of golf clubs and boss portions extending a selected distance downwardly aligned with each of the apertures. A plurality of elongate golf club protecting tubes are engaged with said boss portions below said plate and extend downwardly into the bag. The protective tubes do not need reinforced rims. Golf clubs can be inserted within the golf bag and within each of the protective tubes without any damaging engagement between the clubs and the top portions of the tubes.
