Demodectic Mange in Dogs. Demodicosis in Dogs. Mange (demodicosis) is an inflammatory disease in dogs caused by various types of the Demodex mite. When the number of mites inhabiting the hair follicles and skin of the dog become exorbitant, it can lead to skin lesions, genetic disorders, problems with the immune system and hair loss (alopecia).
There are numerous sensors available for temperature measurement under the name thermal sensors. Popular ones are the thermistor, thermocouple, RTD. Diodes can be used to sense temperature due to the change in their forward voltage with change in temperature. One of the advantage of using diodes is they have a nearly linear relationship between temperature and voltage applied.
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that works on a five-volt reference signal that is delivered to it by the Body Control Module (BCM). The resistance in the sensor adjusts to the change in temperature, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM. Depending on the resistance in the sensor, the BCM senses a certain voltage on the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to match a certain temperature.
