Latest Patents

Lindauer’s listed patents address components and manufacturing methods for gas-sensing systems.

- **Heating device.** This invention describes a heating device for a gas sensor, particularly one used to analyze exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. Its heating element includes an electrical resistor layer and is embedded in a first insulation, which is at least partly surrounded by a second insulation. The two insulating materials have different porosities.

- **Sensor element for determining the oxygen concentration in gas mixtures and method for its manufacture.** This invention concerns a sensor element for measuring gas components, especially oxygen in engine exhaust. It combines a pump cell, which moves oxygen into or out of a measuring-gas chamber, with a concentration cell that includes a reference electrode in a reference-gas channel and a measuring electrode. The measuring-gas chamber and reference-gas channel occupy the same layer plane and are separated by a partition formed by applying ceramic paste to an adjacent solid-electrolyte foil.
