Abstract

When the output of a gas sensor is approximately constant, the sensor output is stored as a reference output. Evolution of a gas is detected from variations in the sensor output from the stored reference output. The sensor output which is constant is detected by establishing that the difference between a maximum and a minimum of sensor output in a predetermined section is not greater than a specified value.
