Sensor Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295949 titled 'Sensor Assembly
The sensor assembly consists of a sensor and an adapter connected to the sensor. The sensor includes a housing with a port and a cavity, a diaphragm in the port enclosing the cavity, and a die in the cavity. The diaphragm extends in a first plane. The adapter has a base section connected to the housing and an end section extending from the base section. The end section has a mating face in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The adapter passageway connects the mating face to the port of the housing.
- Sensor assembly includes sensor and adapter
- Sensor housing has port and cavity
- Diaphragm in the port encloses the cavity
- Adapter has base and end sections
- Mating face on end section in a plane perpendicular to diaphragm
- Adapter passageway connects mating face to port
Potential Applications: - Industrial pressure sensing - Medical devices - Automotive applications
Problems Solved: - Accurate pressure measurement - Secure connection between sensor and adapter
Benefits: - Improved sensor performance - Enhanced reliability - Easy installation and maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Pressure Sensing Technology for Various Industries This technology can be used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive for precise pressure measurements, ensuring safety and efficiency in operations.
Questions about Sensor Assembly: 1. How does the diaphragm in the sensor housing contribute to accurate pressure sensing? The diaphragm in the sensor housing helps to enclose the cavity where the die is located, allowing for precise pressure measurements. 2. What are the potential benefits of using this sensor assembly in medical devices? Using this sensor assembly in medical devices can lead to more accurate monitoring of pressure levels, improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sensor assembly includes a sensor and an adapter connected to the sensor. The sensor includes a housing having a port and a cavity, a diaphragm disposed in the port and enclosing the cavity, and a die disposed in the cavity. The diaphragm extends in a first plane. The adapter has a base section connected to the housing and an end section extending from the base section. The end section has a mating face that extends in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The adapter has an adapter passageway extending through the adapter that connects the mating face to the port of the housing.
