Abstract
A gas detector is provided. The gas detector comprises: a thin-film type heat flow sensor provided in a position to receive electromagnetic waves irradiated with a prescribed intensity; and a detecting unit which, if a measured value from the heat flow sensor changes due to a change in the received intensity of the electromagnetic waves, detects an amount of gas in a space through which the electromagnetic waves pass, on the basis of the change in the measured value.
Claims13
A gas detector comprising:
- a thin film-type heat flow sensor disposed in a position in which the heat flow sensor receives electromagnetic radiation emitted with a predetermined intensity;
- and
- a detection unit implemented by circuitry configured to, when a change occurs in a measured value obtained by the heat flow sensor due to a change in the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation received, detect the amount of a gas in a space through which the electromagnetic radiation passes, on the basis of the change in the measured value.
(canceled)
A gas detection method executed by a computer, comprising:
- acquiring a measured value obtained by a thin film-type heat flow sensor disposed in a position in which the heat flow sensor receives electromagnetic radiation emitted with a predetermined intensity;
- and
- when a change occurs in the measured value obtained by the heat flow sensor due to a change in the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation received, detecting the amount of a gas in a space through which the electromagnetic radiation passes, on the basis of the change in the measured value.
