Publication number: 20100300186Abstract: A pressure-measuring device is to be placed in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure-measuring device has a housing, a force-transmission element projecting out of the housing, and a pressure sensor disposed in an interior chamber of the housing. On the one hand, the pressure sensor is braced on a fixation element. On the other hand, to detect a pressure prevailing inside the chamber, the pressure sensor is operatively connected to the force-transmission element. The pressure sensor has a straight-through recess through which an electrical line is routed. In addition, a positioning element is provided, which has a straight-through recess in a guide region, the electrical line being routed through the straight-through recess, and the positioning element having a reduced thickness in the guide region. This makes it possible to reduce friction of the electrical line in the guide region at the straight-through recess, so that the pressure measurement is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2007Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Christoph Kern, Ewgenij Landes, Michael Kleindl, Christian Doering, Steffen Schott, Pavlo Saltikov

Patent number: 7769555Abstract: A method is provided for calibration of a vectorial network analyzer, having n measurement ports (n>1) and at least m measurement sites with n+1<m<2n. Calibration includes measurement of three different n-port reflection standards connected between the measurement ports in any sequence, and measurement of different transmission standards connected between two measurement ports, and mathematical determination of the error coefficients of the network analyzer and the error-corrected scattering matrices [Sx] of the n-port calibration standards. The reflection standards, similar to shorts and opens, are unknown and the reflection standard implemented by wave terminations is known, but can be different at each n-fold one-port. The measurement of the transmission standards occurs on a transmission standard known in length and attenuation, which is implemented on each possible two-port by different combination of measurement ports.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: SUSS Microtec Test Systems GmbHInventors: Andrej Rumiantsev, Steffen Schott, Stojan Kanev

Patent number: 7768271Abstract: Method for calibrating a vectorial network analyzer, with n measurement ports (n>2) and at least m measurement sites, where m>n+1 includes measurement of three different n-port reflection standards, connected between measurement ports in any desired order, and successive measurement of reflection and transmission parameters at different transmission standards, connected between two respective measurement ports, and computational determination of error coefficients and error-corrected scattering matrices [Sx] of the n-port standards. Reflection standards, Short and Open, are unknown, but physically identical at each n-fold one-port. Reflection standard, realized by wave terminations, is known, but can be different at each n-fold one-port. Transmission standards are measured at a transmission standard, having known length and attenuation at a two-port, and at unknown transmission standards, identical for incident and reflected waves at remaining two-ports, which can be connected.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: SUSS Microtec Test Systems GmbHInventors: Andrej Rumiantsev, Steffen Schott, Stojan Kanev
