  • Resonant sensor for determining multiple physical values
    Patent number: 5789666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a resonant sensor with a vibrating body (10) for the determination of at least two physical values characterised by the fact that the vibrating body (10) has at least two partial bodies (1, 2), the vibrating body as a whole (10) being appropriate for the determination of one of the two values and one of the partial bodies (1, 2) or a combination of several partial bodies is appropriate for the determination of the other of the two values. The individual partial bodies (1, 2) of the vibrating body can differ both in their geometric, dimensions and or in the materials of which they are composed. The measurement of the individual physical values takes place in a fundamental mode of the vibrating body as a whole (10) or of the relevant partial body (1, 2).
