  • Publication number: 20100264941
    Abstract: A method for operating an MOX gas sensor is provided for measuring a gas concentration present in the environment. The MOX sensor is heated by an electric current source, and an electric output quantity of the sensor representing a gas concentration being detected and analyzed is generated. The MOX sensor is discontinuously heated at discrete measuring times by the electric current source, and a measured value representing the gas concentration is generated from the electric output quantity of the sensor detected during the discrete measuring times. A device for operating the MOX gas sensor is additionally is provided.

  • Publication number: 20100239465
    Abstract: A fluorescent sensor for the detection of gas compositions has a carrier substrate and a fluorescent layer. The carrier substrate and fluorescent layer consists of a gas-permeable polymer matrix with an embedded fluorescent dye. A diffusion layer of gas-permeable ceramics and/or polymers is arranged over the fluorescent layer and is adapted to cause a time delay of the gas diffusion from a detected-environment to the fluorescent layer and from the fluorescent layer to a detected-environment.

  • Publication number: 20100153524
    Abstract: Dynamically isolating application servers, wherein only active application servers are indicated to client applications to prevent access to inactive application servers by the client applications. A central server of a distributed system determines a state of application servers in a system, and generates a list of application servers that includes all application servers of the system including an indication of the state of the application servers. The central server also generates a filtered list of application servers that excludes inactive application servers or application servers in an inactive mode. The filtered list is passed to client applications, which enables the client applications to only access the active application servers, but not access the inactive application servers.
