  • Measuring device mounting method and structure
    Patent number: 9175959
    Abstract: A measurement device (10) mounting arrangement includes a support member (30) and a sensing device (12) in a circuit housing (22). The circuit housing (22) is electrically and mechanically connected to the support member (30) through a mounting structure (32). The circuit housing (22) has a resonance frequency and the sensing device (12) has an operational resonance frequency. The sensing device (12) measures a physical parameter and provides a signal indicative thereof. An under-fill material (40) is located between the support member (30) and the circuit housing (22) for shifting the resonance frequency of the circuit housing (22) away from the operational resonance frequency of the sensing device (12).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 10, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2015
    Assignee: TRW AUTOMOTIVE U.S. LLC
