  • Sensor comprising a multi-layered ceramic substrate and method for its production
    Patent number: 9144155
    Abstract: A sensor comprises a preferably multi-layer ceramic substrate (2) and at least one sensor element (1) arranged in, at, or on the ceramic substrate (2). The sensor element (1) can be contacted via a metallic contact (6), with the metallic contact (6) being produced via a soldering connection, which electrically connects the contact (6) with the sensor element (1) and here generates a fixed mechanic connection of the contact (6) in reference to the ceramic substrate (2). Furthermore, a method is claimed for producing the sensor according to the invention.

  • Sensor in which the sensor element is part of the sensor housing
    Patent number: 8833160
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor, comprising a sensor element (1) that operates without contact, an electronic component (5), and a housing (2) having an electrical/electronic connection. The sensor element (1) is part of the housing (2) and is used to close and seal the housing (2) with respect to the measurement side (3).

  • Sensor, System Having A Sensor and A Measurement Object, and Method For Temperature Measurement By Means of A Sensor
    Publication number: 20140198824
    Abstract: An eddy current sensor that works in contact-free manner, for temperature measurement on an electrically conductive measurement object or component, wherein the measurement is independent of the distance between the sensor and the measurement object/component, characterized by determination of the inherent temperature of the sensor, preferably at the location of the measurement coil of the sensor, wherein the influence of the inherent temperature of the sensor or of a temperature gradient at the sensor on the result of the temperature measurement on the measurement object or component is compensated. A system comprises a corresponding sensor and an electrically conductive measurement object. A method serves for temperature measurement on a measurement object or component, by means of a corresponding sensor.
