Mathias SCHWENDIMANN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10401474
    Abstract: A sensor array includes a housing with a circumferential housing wall, which defines a housing opening, with a sensor circuit board with a high-frequency sensor. The sensor circuit board in the housing is arranged such that the high-frequency sensor is directed towards the housing opening. A one-piece closing cap closes the housing. The one-piece closing cap has a circumferential cap wall and a high-frequency lens. The high-frequency lens closes the circumferential cap wall on the front side and is directed towards the housing opening. A distance between the high-frequency lens and the high-frequency sensor and thus a focal length is predefined by a lateral length of the cap wall.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9423280
    Abstract: A sensor includes at least a housing (3) which encloses a housing interior (6), a printed circuit board (8) and a sensing element (10). The printed circuit board (8) has electronic components (9) and is located within the housing interior (6). The sensing element (10) is electrically connected to the printed circuit board (8) and is located within the housing interior (6). The sensing element (10) is frictionally connected to the housing (3) so that the sensing element (10) is held in position in the housing interior (6).
