Abstract

This invention relates generally to the sensing of phenomena using heat sensitive devices. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved method and system wherein the ratio of the dissipation coefficients of a pair of electrically heated matched temperature sensitive devices is detected, which method and system are insensitive to variation in ambient temperature.
