Patent number: 8429956Abstract: A piezoresistive pressure-measuring plug for a combustion engine. The pressure-measuring plug includes a plug body having a threaded plug body part with an external thread for screwing the plug body into a cylinder of the combustion engine, and a sealing plug body part forming a tip of the plug for providing a seal between the plug body and the combustion engine. The plug body further includes a sensing body part positioned between the threaded plug body part and the sealing plug body part. The sensing body part includes a cylindrical body part, a moving part, and a sensing structure that form a single integral piece. The sensing structure forms a connection between the cylindrical body part and the moving part, and allows the moving part to move relatively to the cylindrical body part along a cylinder axis of the cylindrical body part.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Serge Groenhuijzen, Cristobal Ruiz Zwollo, Jan-Willem Sloetjes

Patent number: 8297115Abstract: A piezoresistive pressure-measuring plug for a combustion engine for measuring a pressure. The piezoresistive pressure-measuring plug: includes a plug body for insertion into a cylinder of the combustion engine, a rod that is arranged in the plug body, a sensing structure comprising a piezoresistive element, that is arranged between the rod and the plug body such that the sensing structure is acted upon, when in use, by the pressure prevailing in the combustion chamber of the cylinder. The sensing structure is arranged in the plug body and, when in use, is compressed in an axial direction by the force applied to the sensing structure and a piezoresistive element mounted on the sensing structure. A PWB is also arranged in the plug body. Such a pressure-measuring plug provides improved bandwidth and reduced build-in height.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Cris Ruiz Zwollo, Robert Zwijze, Paulus Thomas Johannes Gennissen, Tim Tiek, Huub Toneman, Serge Groenhuijzen

Publication number: 20090320576Abstract: A piezoresistive pressure-measuring plug (100) for a combustion engine for measuring a pressure is disclosed. The piezoresistive pressure-measuring plug (100) comprises: a plug body (106, 108, 110) for insertion into a cylinder of the combustion engine, a rod (102) that is arranged in the plug body (106, 108, 110), a sensing structure (104) comprising a piezoresistive element, that is arranged between the rod (102) and the plug body (106, 108, 110) in such a way that the sensing structure is acted upon, in use, by the pressure prevailing in the combustion chamber of the cylinder, whereby the rod (102) transmits the pressure in the combustion chamber of the cylinder to the sensing structure due to the pressure in the combustion chamber leading to an axial motion of the rod (102) relative to the plug body (106, 108, 110) so as to apply a force to the sensing structure (104) and a PWB (114) provided with sensor electronics for measuring and conditioning a resistance change.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Cris Ruiz Zwollo, Robert Zwijze, Paulus Thomas Johannes Gennissen, Tim Tiek, Huub Toneman, Serge Groenhuijzen

Patent number: 7467891Abstract: A sensor arrangement (1) for measuring a pressure and a temperature in a fluid is disclosed. The sensor arrangement (1) comprises a temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and a pressure sensing electrical element (6), the temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and pressure sensing electrical element (6) are both coupled to one side of a metallic membrane structure (4,16). The metallic membrane structure is arranged to pass on the temperature of the fluid which is at the other side of the membrane structure (4,16) to the temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and to pass on the pressure in the fluid to the pressure sensing electrical element (6). In this way a combined pressure and temperature sensor is obtained which is applicable in vehicle air-conditioning systems working with CO2 as refrigerant.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2006Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Sensata Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paulus Thomas Johannes Gennissen, Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Arie-Jan Kolling, Cris Ruiz Zwollo, Roger Marcel Appelo, Werner John Peter Kleissen

Patent number: 7337657Abstract: A pressure glow plug for a diesel engine has a glow plug body 2 for being inserted into a cylinder of the diesel engine, a heating rod 1 that is arranged in the glow plug body 2 and a pressure sensor 9 that is arranged between the heating rod 1 and the glow plug body 2 in such a way that the pressure in the combustion chamber of the cylinder that is transmitted by the heating rod 1 influences the pressure sensor 9. The heating rod 1 is arranged in the glow plug body 2 such that it can be displaced in an axially sliding fashion, namely by a corresponding sliding element, for example, a membrane 7 or seals 3.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2004Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignees: Beru AG, Texas Instruments Holland B.V.Inventors: Michael Haussner, Ulf Wyrwich, Hans Houben, Frank Pechhold, Heinz-Georg Schmitz, Dirk Von Hacht, Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Albert Ferdinand Zwijze, Paulus Thomas Johannes Gennissen, Ronald De Groot, Arie-Jan Koelling

Patent number: 6742395Abstract: A port fitting (102) is formed with a closed, pedestal end forming a diaphragm (102a) on which a strain gauge sensor is mounted. A support member (106) is received on the pedestal end and is formed with a flat end wall (106a) having an aperture (106d) aligned with the sensor. A circuit assembly (108) is bonded to the flat end wall and the sensor wire bonded to the electronic circuit. A cover member (114) placed on the support member, is provided with a cavity for a metal shield member (118) fitted inside the cover member before assembly. The shield member is formed with spring members (118b) extending outside the perimeter of the cover member. The cover member is formed with circular cavities (114d) extending in an axial direction to provide seating for contact spring members (117), making electronic contact to the sensor electronics and protruding beyond the body of the cover member. The cover member is also fitted with a circular elastomer gasket member (116), providing an environmental seal.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Marc Gerard Johan Borgers, Thomas R. Maher, Timothy M. McBride, Paulus Thomas Johannes Gennissen
