CONVERTER UNIT FOR ELECTRICAL AND/OR ACOUSTIC SIGNALS AND/OR RELATIVE PRESSURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18542466 titled 'CONVERTER UNIT FOR ELECTRICAL AND/OR ACOUSTIC SIGNALS AND/OR RELATIVE PRESSURES
The abstract describes a converter unit for electrical and/or acoustic signals and/or relative pressures. The unit includes a substrate with a cavity and an interaction unit above the cavity. An internal structure in a fluid-tight space of the interaction unit retains a predetermined pressure. The internal structure consists of a first layer and a second layer connected to the first layer. The interaction unit detects and/or generates signals based on changes in distance between the layers and other structures in the fluid-tight space.
- The converter unit is designed to handle electrical and/or acoustic signals and relative pressures.
- It includes a substrate with a cavity and an interaction unit above the cavity.
- An internal structure in a fluid-tight space of the interaction unit maintains a specific pressure.
- The internal structure comprises a first layer and a second layer connected to it.
- The interaction unit detects and generates signals based on changes in distance between the layers and other structures in the fluid-tight space.
Potential Applications: - Medical devices for monitoring internal body pressures - Industrial equipment for detecting acoustic signals in machinery - Environmental sensors for measuring air pressure changes

Original Abstract Submitted
A converter unit for electrical and/or acoustic signals and/or relative pressures. The converter unit includes: a substrate having a cavity, and an interaction unit arranged at least partially and/or completely above the cavity. An internal structure is arranged in a fluid-tight space of the interaction unit. The fluid-tight space is configured to retain a predetermined pressure. The internal structure includes a first layer, and a second layer which is connected to the first layer. The interaction unit is configured to detect and/or generate an acoustic or electrical signal and/or the relative pressure, based on a change in distance between the first layer and/or the second layer and at least one further structure arranged in the fluid-tight space. The interaction unit has a boundary layer which forms a floor and/or ceiling. The first layer and/or the second layer is arranged on the boundary layer by a connecting element.
