  • Motion sensor having micromechanical sensor and magnetoresistive circuit on same substrate
    Patent number: 7886595
    Abstract: A motion sensor includes a substrate at least having one micromechanical acceleration sensor and a magnetoresistive circuit. The micromechanical acceleration sensor and the magnetoresistive circuit are constructed on the same substrate.

  • Analyzer unit for the measuring signal of a micromechanical sensor
    Patent number: 7143647
    Abstract: An analyzer unit for the measuring signal of a micromechanical sensor having an input/output characteristic which is represented as a characteristic curve includes means for analog-digital conversion of the measuring signal and transmission means for transmission of the converted measuring signal or a signal that depends on the converted measuring signal. The transmission means is designed so that the characteristic curve has at least two ranges having different slopes. Different resolutions of the measuring signal are implemented through the different slopes of the characteristic curve. A suitably resolved signal is thus made available for applications having different sensitivity requirements.

  • Microstructured component and a method for producing a microstructured component
    Publication number: 20050250237
    Abstract: A microstructured component includes at least: one chip having a microstructured area and a surface area, on which a nanostructured, self-organized coating is applied. The nanostructured, self-organized coating may be used as an antistick coating for repelling moisture or a surrounding molding material. Moreover, when using flip-chip and stack-chip technologies, an adhesive effect can be attained, so that additional joining areas can be dimensioned to be smaller.
