  • Remotely addressable pressure and/or temperature measuring device installed in a biological medium
    Patent number: 8549923
    Abstract: A remotely interrogatable pressure and/or temperature measuring device includes at least an acoustic wave sensor including at least one resonator coupled to a first antenna element, and an interrogation system including a second antenna element for transmission and reception. The device further includes an expandable tubular structure, the structure integrating a biocompatible material, and the acoustic wave sensor is encapsulated in the biocompatible material. The second antenna element operates at frequencies above several tens of MegaHertz.

  • Probe for a capacitive sensor device and gap-measuring system
    Patent number: 8513960
    Abstract: A probe for a capacitive sensor device, and a gap measuring system using the probe, is disclosed. The probe has a probe head including a measuring element with at least one measuring and front face, a first electrically non-conductive isolator element, and a first partial element of a first shield. The measuring and front face, the first isolator element, and the first partial element of the first shield are adhesively connected to one another and configured as a multilayer, where the first isolator element is disposed between the measuring element with its measuring and front face and the first partial element.
