Patents by Inventor Maurizio Moschetti

Maurizio Moschetti 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).

  • Sensor of volatile substances and process for manufacturing a sensor of volatile substances
    Patent number: 10571421
    Abstract: A sensor of volatile substances includes: a first electrode structure and a second electrode structure capacitively coupled, comb-fingered, and arranged coplanar in a plane; and a sensitive layer, of a sensitive material that is permeable to a volatile substance and has electrical permittivity depending upon a concentration of the volatile substance absorbed by the sensitive material. The sensitive layer extends from opposite sides of the plane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2020
    Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.
    Inventors: Antonello Santangelo, Salvatore Cascino, Roberto Modica, Viviana Cerantonio, Maurizio Moschetti, Alessandro Auditore
  • Sensor of volatile substances with integrated heater and process for manufacturing a sensor of volatile substances
    Patent number: 10520457
    Abstract: A sensor of volatile substances including: a sensitive layer, of a sensitive material that is permeable to a volatile substance and has an electrical permittivity depending upon a concentration of the volatile substance absorbed; a first electrode structure and a second electrode structure capacitively coupled together and arranged so that a capacitance between the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure is affected by the electrical permittivity of the sensitive material; and a supply device, configured to supply a heating current through one between the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure in a first operating condition, so as to heat the sensitive layer.
