  • Publication number: 20240068898
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sensor. The sensor includes a sensing element and a housing, the housing including an interior space, which is accessible through a housing opening, and the sensing element being situated in the interior space and being designed to detect a property and/or a composition of an ambient medium of the sensor. The method includes filling the interior space with a protective medium through the housing opening, the protective medium being designed to transfer the property and/or the composition of the ambient medium to the sensing element; fixing a preferably flexible diaphragm at or in the housing opening preferably for sealing the housing opening, the diaphragm including at least one diaphragm opening; and sealing the at least one diaphragm opening. A sensor, which is manufactured according to this method, is also described.

  • Publication number: 20230393009
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pressure sensor having a pressure-sensitive medium. The method includes: providing a pressure sensor having a pressure sensor element, which is arranged in a receiving space of a housing of the pressure sensor; filling the receiving space with a pressure-sensitive medium; applying a second medium, which is immiscible with the pressure-sensitive medium, to a surface of the pressure-sensitive medium; forming a membrane in a boundary region between the pressure-sensitive medium and the second medium by way of a phase-transfer reaction between a first reactant and a second reactant, at least the first reactant or the second reactant being dissolved in the pressure-sensitive medium or in the second medium. A pressure sensor manufactured by the method is also described.

  • Patent number: 11821803
    Abstract: A sensor includes a sensing element for detecting a property and/or a composition of a surrounding medium of the sensor, a transmission medium for transmitting a property and/or a composition of the surroundings medium onto the sensing element, the transmission medium being situated in such a way that the transmission medium is applied to the sensing element, and a cover, which distances the transmission medium from the surrounding medium, the cover being manufactured from a self-healing material, in particular, the cover being designed as a flexible membrane which is made up of a self-healing material.

  • Publication number: 20220042871
    Abstract: A sensor. The sensor include a sensing element for detecting a property and/or a composition of a surrounding medium of the sensor; a transmission medium for transmitting a property and/or a composition of the surroundings medium onto the sensing element, the transmission medium being situated in such a way that the transmission medium is applied to the sensing element; and a cover, which distances the transmission medium from the surrounding medium, the cover being manufactured from a self-healing material, in particular, the cover being designed as a flexible membrane.
