  • GLASS WAFER AND GLASS ELEMENT FOR PRESSURE SENSORS
    Publication number: 20230175906
    Abstract: A glass wafer is provided that includes a sheetlike glass substrate with an opening. The sheetlike glass substrate is configured for use in a sensor selected from a group consisting of a pressure sensor, a piezoresistive sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor, and a piezoresistive pressure sensor. The opening is defined in the glass substrate from a first surface to a second, opposite surface. The opening has a cross-sectional area that is delimited by a straight portion having a minimum length of at least 10 ?m and a side face with a surface characterized by a skewness (Ssk) of at most 5.0.

  • Method and device for detecting the entry of fuel into the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 7260982
    Abstract: A process for enabling the detection of an entry of fuel into the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine can be implemented relatively simply. The process measures a value representative of the volume of lubricating oil in the internal combustion engine and detects an entry of fuel into the lubricating oil on the basis of an evaluation of results of the measurement which were obtained for different points in time.
