Patent number: 9719836Abstract: A high-temperature resistance is disposed in an internal passage and has its energization controlled based on an intake-air flow rate in the passage to increase/decrease a heat generation amount. A first low-temperature resistance constitutes a bridge circuit which has its energization state changed according to the heat generation amount of the high-temperature resistance. The first low-temperature resistance varies its resistance value according to intake-air temperature. A second low-temperature resistance is an element, which is not incorporated into the bridge circuit and varies its resistance value according to intake-air temperature to increase/decrease an energization amount. The second low-temperature resistance is provided on a substrate.

Patent number: 9052223Abstract: A flow meter outputs a frequency signal, which corresponds to an air flow quantity of intake air to be supplied to an engine. In an engine control unit, when a sensed value of the air flow quantity, which is obtained based on the frequency signal, is within an estimated air flow quantity range, which is estimated based on an operational state of the engine, the sensed value of the air flow quantity is determined as a measurement value of the flow meter. In contrast, when the sensed value of the air flow quantity is out of the estimated air flow quantity range, a median of the estimated air flow quantity range is determined as the measurement value of the flow meter.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Yasushi Kohno
