Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A gas sensor for detecting the presence of gases in air. In particular, sensors are described that have a compound catalytic support structure and are suitable for sensing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The device features a ceramic substrate having a temperature sensitive resistor on one surface. A mixture of ceramic particles and glass powder are applied over the substrate and resistor and fired so that the glass flows and adheres the ceramic particles to the substrate. A catalyst layer of either platinum or rhodium is deposited on the catalyst support and a thermally sensitive resistor element detects reactions of hydrocarbons or nitrogen oxides on the corresponding catalyst. The …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 31, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 31, 2017.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
