  • Patent number: 11988561
    Abstract: A method for producing a thermal infrared sensor array in a vacuum-filled wafer-level housing with particularly small dimensions, consisting of at least two wafers, a cover wafer and a central wafer comprising multiple infrared-sensitive sensor pixels on a respective thin slotted membrane over a heat-insulating cavity is disclosed. A method for producing a high-resolution monolithic silicon micromechanical thermopile array sensor using wafer level packaging technology, wherein the sensor achieves a particularly high spatial resolution capability and a very high filling degree with very small housing dimensions, in particular a very low overall thickness, and can be inexpensively produced using standard CMOS processes. This is achieved in that the cover wafer is first rigidly mechanically connected to the provided central wafer comprising the sensor pixels with the infrared-sensitive pixels by means of wafer bonding, and the central wafer is then thinned out from the wafer rear face to a specified thickness.

  • Publication number: 20230330380
    Abstract: A pump device, a respiratory device and a method for providing a respiratory gas. A specially formed rotor and a corresponding pump chamber are used so that an approximately sinusoidal flow of an out-flowing fluid is possible. With the combination of two pump chambers with rotors driven in a 180° phase-shifted manner to one another, an almost constant flow can be created at a common outlet. In addition, the system is designed to be highly dynamic with simultaneously relatively low energy consumption.

  • Publication number: 20230277783
    Abstract: A nebulizer for nebulizing a fluid is proposed. The nebulizer includes an indicator device with a rotatable indicator element for counting or indicating a number of actuations performed or still possible with the nebulizer and a rotatable shaft which rotatably drives the indicator element. The indicator device is non-detachably attached to the shaft and/or to an inner part of the nebulizer. The nebulizer may further include a positioning device that keeps the shaft in a defined rotational position and/or blocks the shaft from rotating backwards.
