“…The above results can be used in two ways: in the range of normal ambient pressures the dependence of the average molecular mass can be used to detect gases in air whose molecular mass differs from the average molecular mass of air (20). In the low pressure range heated membrane devices can be used to measure the pressure inside vacuum vessels.…”

In this article, we focus on resistance heating in miniaturized electronic devices, i.e., thermal sensors and thermal actuators. Such devices are transducers of energy, which involve thermal energy conversion on an intermediate stage. In such devices, heat dissipation is not an unwanted by‐product of the energy conversion process but constitutes the central mechanism that underlies device operation. Some industrially important kinds of such sensor and actuator devices are explained in more detail.
