Patent number: 11841245Abstract: A measurement system, its assembly and use are disclose. The system may include an instrument for making sensor measurements. The instrument has a substantially cylindrical housing. The shape and size allow the instrument to easily fit in an average hand enabling handheld operation. The housing houses a board stack of electronic boards. These electronics drive an electrical signal in at least one drive channel and measure responses from at least two sensing channels. These responses are provided to a processor for analysis. The instrument has a sensor connector that enables simultaneous electrical and mechanical attachment of an end effector.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: JENTEK Sensors, Inc.Inventors: Neil J Goldfine, Todd M Dunford, Scott A Denenberg, Kevin P Dixon, Yanko K Sheiretov, Saber Bahranifard, Stuart D Chaplan, Mark Windoloski

Patent number: 10677756Abstract: A sensor system has an integrated sensor cartridge, and instrument, and an instrument side connector. The integrated sensor cartridge has a mechanical support, a flexible sensor array, and a rigid connector. The mechanical support is shaped to facilitate sensor measurements on a test object. The rigid connector has a mechanical connection and an electrical connection for simultaneous electrical and mechanical mating of the sensor cartridge to the instrument side connector. The flexible array has a connecting portion, a lead portion, and a sensing portion. The sensing portion is attached to the mechanical support, and the connecting portion interfaces with the rigid connector. The connecting portion may form the electrical connection of the rigid connector or may simply mate internally with the electrical connection. The instrument side connector is connected to the instrument which measures the response of the flexible sensor array.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: JENTEK SENSORS, INC.Inventors: Neil J Goldfine, Yanko K Sheiretov, Scott A Denenberg, Karen Walrath, Todd M Dunford, Kevin P Dixon, Christopher T Martin
