Patents by Inventor Derek W. Puccio

Derek W. Puccio has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10048146
    Abstract: Arrays of resonator sensors include an active wafer array comprising a plurality of active wafers, a first end cap array coupled to a first side of the active wafer array, and a second end cap array coupled to a second side of the active wafer array. Thickness shear mode resonator sensors may include an active wafer coupled to a first end cap and a second end cap. Methods of forming a plurality of resonator sensors include forming a plurality of active wafer locations and separating the active wafer locations to form a plurality of discrete resonator sensors. Thickness shear mode resonator sensors may be produced by such methods.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150059483
    Abstract: Thickness shear mode resonator pressure sensors include a housing having an outer dimension that is less than 0.575 inch (14.605 millimeters). Pressure transducers may include a quartz pressure sensor and a quartz reference sensor, wherein an electronics assembly of the pressure transducer is configured to drive at least one of the quartz pressure sensor and the quartz reference sensor at a frequency greater than 10 MHz. Transducer assemblies include an electronics assembly configured to drive at least one quartz sensor of the transducer assembly at a frequency greater than 10 MHz.
