Abstract From the Canadian patent

A humidity sensitive resistor device for sensing the humidity of an ambient atmosphere. The device has a humidity sensitive resistor formed by a metal oxide sintered substrate having electrodes on one surface thereof the, resistivity of the humidity sensitive resistor decreasing as the ambient humidity which can affect the surface of the humidity sensitive resistor increases; and a heater positioned near the humidity sensitive resistor for applying radiant heat to the surface of the humidity sensitive resistor, which heater can be used for improving the sensitivity of the humidity sensitive resistor. By the application of a slight amount of radiant heat, the humidity sensitivity increases, …
