Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A galvanic cell type oxygen sensor comprising (A) a galvanic cell comprising (i) a cathode made up of metal effective for the electrolytic reduction of oxygen, (ii) an anode made up of lead and (iii) an electrolyte comprising an aqueous mixed solution of an organic acid salt and a lead compound, wherein the pH value of said electrolyte is from 4 to 7, and wherein said galvanic cell is so constructed that oxygen diffusion to said cathode is controlled by a polymer film; pg,23 (B) a resistor; and (C) a thermistor wherein said resistor (B) and thermistor (C) are connected between said cathode and anode.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A galvanic cell type oxygen sensor comprising (A) a galvanic cell comprising (i) a cathode made up of metal effective for the electrolytic reduction of oxygen, (ii) an anode made up of lead and (iii) an electrolyte comprising an aqueous mixed solution of an organic acid salt and a lead compound, wherein the pH value of said electrolyte is from 4 to 7, and wherein said galvanic cell is so constructed that oxygen diffusion to said cathode is controlled by a polymer film; pg,23 (B) a resistor; and (C) a thermistor wherein said resistor (B) and thermistor (C) are connected between said cathode and anode.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A galvanic cell type oxygen sensor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said organic acid is at least one member selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, propionic acid and n-butyric acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
