Semiconductor gas sensors have such features as "small size", "high sensitivity", "low price", "long life", and "maintenance free" and widely used mainly in the consumer markets. In addition to such features, FiS has realized a miniture size small power consumption gas sensor that can be used in a battery operated device.
The single sensor can differentiate and detect several type of gases with an unique signal processing and sensor driving method. Furthermore, the improved sensing material has realized carbon dioxide detection, which was assumed to be impossible with semiconductor gas sensors.
The above mentioned various innovation for production technology, signal processing method, and sensing material research is developing the FiS gas sensor application fields.
FiS innovative sensing technology has yielded the products below:
- (1) Safety field
- ・Battery operated CO alarm
- ・Battery operated LP detector in a gas storage station
- ・Combined fire, gas, and CO alarm; Fire (temperature) + gas leak (town gas) + incomplete combustion (CO)
etc.
- (2) Environmental field
- ・Battery operated air monitor built in a remote controller
- ・Air conditioner with an air purifier
- ・Home use air purifiers
- ・Ventilation with carbon monoxide monitor
- ・Air damper controller in automobiles
- ・Ozone monitor
- ・Odor analyzer
- (3) Health field
- ・Breath odor checker
- ・Breath alcohol checker
