  • Process for producing pressure sensors
    Patent number: 6189205
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing pressure sensing elements which have a metal membrane and a resistive thin film arranged thereon, in which a blind opening is introduced into a base element, and the resistive thin film is applied on a side of the base element facing away from the blind opening. Provision is made for a plurality of pressure sensing elements to be manufactured simultaneously in one panel, and after application of the resistive thin film onto the panel, the panel is sectioned to yield the pressure sensing elements.

  • Temperature dependent electric resistor probe and a method of making the same
    Patent number: 4708769
    Abstract: A method of making a temperature dependent resistor probe for measuring temperature or mass of a flowing medium includes (a) preparation of a support plate of a metallic material; (b) applying a support foil of a temperature resistant plastic material on one side of the support plate; (c) applying a layer of temperature dependent resistive material on the support foil and finishing the resistive layer into a measuring resistor layer; and thereafter, an opening is formed in the support plate in the area below the measuring resistor layer.
