La RTC vient de lancer sous le nom de Gazistance un composant destiné à la détection des gaz inflammables. Elle met en œuvre pour cela des céramiques semiconductrices (des oxydes ferriques, d'étain et de zinc) dont la variation de résistivité est fonction de la concentration de gaz ou de vapeurs dans l'air ambiant. 1, record 1, French, - Gazistance
