TWO-WAY THERMO-MECHANICAL SENSOR SHIELD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264005 titled 'TWO-WAY THERMO-MECHANICAL SENSOR SHIELD

The abstract describes a two-way thermo-mechanical shield assembly for a sensor of a heat-producing apparatus, consisting of a first shield and a second shield that encase the sensor. The first shield protects the sensor from internal thermal energy, while the second shield protects it from external physical impact and thermal energy.

The assembly includes a first shield and a second shield
Each shield is mounted to the apparatus housing
The shields encase the sensor
The first shield protects the sensor from internal thermal energy
The second shield protects the sensor from external physical impact and thermal energy

Potential Applications: - Industrial heat-producing equipment - Automotive engines - Aerospace applications

Problems Solved: - Protection of sensors from internal and external thermal energy - Protection of sensors from physical impact

Benefits: - Enhanced sensor durability - Improved sensor accuracy - Increased safety of heat-producing apparatus

Commercial Applications: Thermo-mechanical shield assemblies can be used in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace for protecting sensors in heat-producing equipment.

Questions about Thermo-mechanical Shield Assembly: 1. How does the first shield protect the sensor from internal thermal energy? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the automotive industry?

Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced materials for thermo-mechanical shields and sensor protection is ongoing to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these assemblies.

Original Abstract Submitted

a two-way thermo-mechanical shield assembly for a sensor of a heat-producing apparatus having an apparatus housing includes a first shield and a second shield. each shield is configured to be mounted to the apparatus housing and are together configured to encase the sensor. the first shield is configured to protect the sensor from thermal energy originating internal to the apparatus housing, while the second shield is configured to protect the sensor from physical impact and thermal energy originating external to the apparatus housing.
