Jacobsen Henrik 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).
Abstract: A sensor formed from a semiconductor material. The device comprises a support frame, a sensing element; and means for vibrating the sensing element at a frequency corresponding generally to a first resonant frequency vibration mode. Error detection means detects the resonant frequency vibration mode, the output of the error detection means being indicative of existence or otherwise an expected response of the resonant frequency vibration mode to the excitation. Means for detecting the deformation of the sensing element provides an output indicative of the parameter to be sensed, the deformation detecting means and error detection means being formed from the same elements.
