Latest Patents
One of Otsuki's latest patents is an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. This invention prevents an EGR sensor installed in an engine's EGR path from being contaminated by soiling substances in exhaust. A catalyst is strategically positioned upstream of the EGR sensor to purify the soiling substances in EGR gas. This design ensures that the EGR sensor maintains its accuracy in detecting EGR gas under various conditions.
Another significant patent is a thermal type flow meter that includes a secondary heating device to suppress heat transfer. This thermal gas-flow measuring instrument features a first heating resistor placed in the gas to be measured. A temperature sensing resistor generates signals related to the flow rate, while a second heating resistor, insulated from the first, suppresses heat transfer to the support. The control circuit regulates the temperatures of both heating resistors to ensure optimal performance.
