  • Method for generating a flow of fluid
    Patent number: 10519945
    Abstract: A method for generating a flow of fluid, implemented in a device including a membrane (2) provided with at least one hole (20) and elements (4) generating back-and-forth movements, wherein a flow is generated through the membrane by actuating the membrane, at least in the region of the at least one hole (20), according to a mode of deformation of the at least one hole, causing the at least one hole to open and close and disturbing the fluid in order to generate the flow. The device suitable for implementing the method is also described.

  • Miniaturized sensor comprising a heating element, and associated production method
    Patent number: 9476746
    Abstract: The invention relates to a miniaturized sensor having a heating element, and to an associated production method. The sensor includes a substrate, a cavity and a heat-insulating structure suspended above the cavity by areas connecting to the substrate. The heat-insulating structure includes at least two bridges extending above the cavity, the heating element being supported by said bridges, extending transversely thereto.

  • Hot-wire sensor of submillimeter size and associated method of production
    Patent number: 8978462
    Abstract: The invention relates to a submillimeter-sized hot-wire sensor (1) comprising a substrate (10), two support rods (11, 12), a metal wire (13) extending between the two ends of the support rods (11, 12), and electrical contacts (14, 15) disposed on the support rods, said contacts each being linked to one of the ends of the wire (13). The metal wire comprises at least two layers of metal materials, one of said layers being made of a material exhibiting a residual stress under tension and the other layer being made of a material exhibiting a residual stress under compression. The thicknesses of these metal layers are adapted so as to compensate the residual stresses between the various layers.
