The reproducing apparatus selectively extracts each of the above data by means of the identification data and performs the reproduction of the extracted data.

Abstract: An oxygen concentration detector provides high durability by increasing the thermal stability of coating layers applied to an electrode face thereof. A catalyst layer is formed on an outer surface of an electrode at the analysis gas side of a partition wall made of an ion oxygen conductive ceramic for generating electromotive force according to the difference between the concentration of oxygen in the analysis gas and the concentration of oxygen in the reference gas. The catalyst layer is composed of heat resistant ceramic particles and a particulate metallic catalyst made of platinum, rhodium or the like, supported by the surface of the heat resistant ceramic particles. The catalyst layer is formed so that the catalyst is supported by the heat resistant support particles. The support particles are heat treated to grow to a particle size so that particle growth can be restrained when the support particles are exposed to the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine.
