LITHOGRAPHIC STRAIN GAUGE IN AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING SUBSTRATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849453 titled 'LITHOGRAPHIC STRAIN GAUGE IN AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING SUBSTRATE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an electrically conducting substrate with multiple layers. A strain gauge is deposited on one of the layers to measure the stress and/or strain of the substrate. This allows the strain gauge to detect any deformation, cracking, or breaking caused by the stress or strain.

  • The patent application is for an electrically conducting substrate with multiple layers.
  • A strain gauge is deposited on one of the layers.
  • The strain gauge measures the stress and/or strain of the substrate.
  • The strain gauge can detect any deformation, cracking, or breaking caused by the stress or strain.

Potential Applications

  • Structural monitoring in buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.
  • Monitoring the integrity of electronic components and circuit boards.
  • Quality control in manufacturing processes.
  • Monitoring the health and performance of mechanical systems.

Problems Solved

  • Allows for early detection of deformation, cracking, or breaking in the substrate.
  • Provides real-time monitoring of stress and strain.
  • Helps prevent catastrophic failures and accidents.
  • Enables proactive maintenance and repairs.

Benefits

  • Improved safety and reliability of structures and systems.
  • Cost savings through early detection and prevention of failures.
  • Enhanced performance and longevity of electronic components.
  • Increased efficiency in manufacturing processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electrically conducting substrate includes a plurality of layers. A strain gauge is deposited on a layer of the plurality of layers. The strain gauge measures the stress and/or strain of the electrically conducting substrate. This allows the strain gauge to determine whether a stress or strain of the electrically conducting substrate has caused the electrically conducting substrate to deform, crack, or break.
