  • Sensor arrangement for measuring properties of fluids
    Patent number: 9074981
    Abstract: A sensor array for viscosity measurement includes the following: a carrier substrate formed with an opening; a metal plate-shaped oscillating element disposed on a surface of the carrier substrate and parallel to the surface over the opening; at least two metal contact electrodes disposed on the carrier substrate; at least two metal spring elements, wherein each of the contact electrodes is connected to the oscillating element by way of a spring element such that the element is mounted on the carrier substrate by way of the spring elements; and a magnet, which is disposed in the vicinity of the carrier substrate such that the magnetic field lines penetrate the plate-shaped oscillating element.
