  • Patent number: 6811409
    Abstract: A connecting device for flexible electrical connection of circuit boards using a plurality of flexible electrical conductors positioned adjacent to each other. The flexible electrical conductors are jointly surrounded by an insulation of an flexible electrically non-conductive material. The end areas of the flexible electrical conductors have a first and a second contact area without insulation. The flexible electrical conductors and the insulation are plastically deformable, and are shaped in such a way that the flexible electrical conductors form a loop in the area of the insulation and run out in the form of a shoulder in the direction of the contact areas. The shoulder is shaped in such a way that the flexible electrical conductors and the insulation may be picked up by a tool and the contact areas may be connected to a circuit board by machine.

  • Publication number: 20040025589
    Abstract: A micromechanical component includes a substrate and a movable structure situated on the surface of the substrate. The movable structure is movable parallel to the surface of the substrate. The structure is surrounded by a frame having a cap attached to it. In the area of the movable element, the cap has a stop limiting the movement of the movable element in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6030850
    Abstract: In a sensor and a method for manufacturing a sensor, a movable element is patterned out of a silicon layer and is secured to a substrate. The conducting layer is subdivided into various regions, which are electrically insulated from one another. The electrical connection between the various regions of the silicon layer is established by a conducting layer, which is arranged between a first and a second insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 5721377
    Abstract: In an angular velocity sensor, an acceleration sensor is arranged on a resonator formed of a multilayer substrate and attached to a resonating bar. The multilayer substrate includes a top silicon layer, an insulating sacrificial layer arranged below the top silicon layer, and a bottom silicon layer arranged below the insulating sacrificial layer. An excitor causes the resonator to vibrate while a limit stop, configured out of the multilayer substrate, limits the movement of the resonator.
