| 20100060298 | CAPACITIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER - The surface of a signal electrode is treated as substrate treatment. For example, an oxide film on the surface of the signal electrode is removed for roughing, and the roughened surface is used as a surface treated face. A coating of a fluororesin is provided on the surface treated face for lining or thermal welding to the lining material. A signal electrode is provided in the resin lining. Since the oxide film has been removed from the surface of the signal electrode for roughening, the adhesive force of the coating of the fluororesin is increased. The fluororesin coating and the resin lining melt each other, and, as a result, the fluororesin coating is strongly bonded to the resin lining, whereby the adhesion between the signal electrode and the resin lining can be increased without opening a hole in the signal electrode. A method may also be adopted in which a primer film is formed by substrate treatment on the surface of the signal electrode. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100071476 | CAPACITIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER - In a constant current circuit, a constant current is caused to flow through a resistor, thereby causing a constant voltage to occur across the resistor. This constant voltage is then superimposed on an output signal of an operational amplifier that is to be fed back to the drain of a field effect transistor, thereby maintaining the same potential in an AC manner between the output terminal of the operational amplifier and the drain of the field effect transistor. In this way, the gate and drain of the field effect transistor is caused to exhibit the same potential in an AC manner, so that no current will occur through the stray capacitance between the gate and drain of the field effect transistor. As a result, similarly to a case of using a feedback capacitor, the input impedance of the field effect transistor can be raised. | 03-25-2010 |
