A radio-interrogated, surface-wave technology current transformer for high/medium-voltage systems includes a magnetosensitive element connected to a surface-wave structure of a surface-wave configuration as a termination of the surface-wave structure. A response signal of the surface-wave configuration is information regarding current strength/direction and phase of the current instantaneously flowing through the system, which is evaluated by a ground station. By virtue of the radio transmission, there is no electrical insulation problem, and the use of a radio-interrogated surface-wave configuration makes that part of the overall current transducer which is at high potential into a passive element of the same.

A planar reference electrode for chemical sensors, which are able to be supplied with a measuring fluid and a calibrating fluid. The planar reference electrode has the following components: an internal reference element situated on a flat substrate; a layer covering the substrate in the vicinity of the internal reference element and consisting of a structured polymer and having at least one trench, which serves as a diffusion channel and extends in the lateral direction from the internal reference element to a region that comes in contact with the measuring fluid or calibrating fluid to be supplied to the chemical sensor, where the diffusion in the diffusion channel is determined by the channel geometry and/or by a diffusion layer; and a covering which seals off the trench.

Reference electrode

A planar gas sensor, in particular a pCO.sub.2 or pO.sub.2 sensor, has the following components: a pH sensor located on a flat substrate, or at least one noble metal electrode located on the substrate; a reference electrode adjacent to the pH sensor or noble metal electrode; an electrolyte layer, covering the reference electrode and the pH sensor or noble metal electrode, which is delimited by a first polymer structure; and a layer of hydrophobic material, covering the electrolyte layer and a surface region of the substrate outside the first polymer structure, which is delimited by a second polymer structure.

Gas sensor

An apparatus for electrochemically determining the partial oxygen pressure pO.sub.2 in a liquid measuring medium includes a measuring sensor having a working electrode and a counter-electrode. The electrodes are manufactured in thin-film technology and are arranged on a substrate in a measuring channel, to which the measuring medium and a rinse medium can be supplied in alternation. The measuring channel connects a device which controls the flow rate of the measuring medium to a lumen of a double lumen catheter. The rinse medium is suppliable to a second lumen of the double lumen catheter with reversible flow direction. Both lumens have a common orifice which can be introduced into the measuring medium. So-called poisoning of the electrodes in this arrangement is suppressed because the electrodes are flooded in alternation by the measuring medium in a measuring phase and by the rinse medium in a regeneration phase.

Apparatus for the electrochemical determination of the partial oxygen

A measuring canal is provided which is connected to a catheter. The canal includes a measuring sensor and a reference sensor. The catheter includes several lumens that have a common opening to the liquid measuring medium. The flow direction of an infusion solution at the opening is reversible. A second lumen of the catheter is connected to the measuring canal which is provided with at least one measuring sensor and with at least one reference sensor as well as with a device for setting the outflow of the apparatus to a predetermined velocity. The flow of an infusion fluid and the liquid medium alternates in such a fashion that during a first time interval the measuring sensor is coupled to the liquid medium and the reference sensor is coupled to the infusion solution. In a second interval the situation is reversed so that the original measuring sensor is coupled to the infusion solution and the original reference sensor is connected to the liquid medium. The unique arrangement is effective for blood examination. Drift problems and toxicity problems cannot occur and no electrochemical reference electrode is required.
