  • Patent number: 8069739
    Abstract: A device having at least one housing and one bottom connected to the housing. In this context, the housing has a housing wall and the bottom at least one base. Further it is provided for the base to have a specifiable edge. The essence of the present arrangement now lies in the fact that the edge of the base has at least two regions, a first region being situated closer to the housing wall and a second region being further removed from the housing wall.

  • Patent number: 7694590
    Abstract: A force-measuring element, having a series connection of at least two capacitors, the force-measuring element being designed in such a way that, under the action of force, a first capacitance of a first capacitor of the at least two capacitors increases and a second capacitance of a second capacitor of the at least two capacitors decreases, in which the force-measuring element is in the form of a connecting element, in which an application of force is provided on a long side of a sleeve of the force-measuring element, and the at least two capacitors are separated by a bar that essentially stands firm during the action of force, so that a first space having the first capacitor above the bar becomes smaller as a result of the application of force, and below the bar a second space becomes larger.

  • Patent number: 7437943
    Abstract: A force measurement element measures an introduced force by means of a double flexural beam and a displacement sensor. The double flexural beam makes possible a double spring shape that makes possible an optimization with regard to elongation distribution.

  • Patent number: 7279759
    Abstract: A micromechanical sensor and a method for manufacturing a micromechanical sensor which has at least one membrane are provided. The membrane is made of a first material which is accommodated in a surrounding second material, and the membrane is configured for sensing a medium surrounding it. The membrane is reinforced, at least partly, by a third material at break-sensitive points on the membrane rim. Reinforcement of the membrane rim increases the stability and thus also the service life of the membrane and the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6940265
    Abstract: A device, an ammeter and a motor vehicle, having a first section and a second section of a conductor for the purpose of measuring the electrical amperage in the conductor are described; a first sensor means and a second sensor means being provided; the current flowing in the first section and in the second section generating a useful magnetic field; the first sensor means being provided to measure the useful magnetic field; the second sensor means being provided in a location where the useful magnetic field disappears; the second sensor means being provided to measure a magnetic interference field; and the measurement of the useful magnetic field being correctable by the measurement of the magnetic interference field.

  • Patent number: 6837117
    Abstract: A device and method for measuring at least one of a force component and a torque component. The device includes a deformation member, for measuring at least one of a force component and torque component, a separate measuring element, configured to measure at least one force component, and an electronics unit, connected to the measuring element configured to evaluate a measuring signal of the measuring element. The deformation member includes a base part and at least one tongue movable with respect to the base part. The base part is arranged so that a gap between the measuring element and the tongue has a gap width variable in response to the force component introduced onto the deformation member. The measuring element is configured to convert a change in the gap width into a measuring signal. The method includes the step of changing the gap width between the tongue and the measuring element by introducing the force component into the deformation member.
