  • Patent number: 11359985
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes an oil-filled pressure transducer assembly and an oil-filled compensating sensing element disposed near one another and attached to a common housing. The oil-filled pressure transducer assembly may receive and measure pressure media via a first oil-filled cavity and a protective diagram in communication with the pressure media. The compensating sensing element may be isolated from the pressure media. In certain example implementations, the compensating sensing element is configured to measure certain common error phenomena that are also measured by the oil-filled pressure transducer assembly, for example, due to acceleration, temperature, and/or vibration. In certain implementations, the signal measured by the compensating sensing element may be subtracted from the signal measured by the oil-filled pressure transducer assembly to provide a compensated output signal.

  • Patent number: 11342251
    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a first conductor and a second conductor, separated by a lateral spacing. The first conductor has a low field contour facing the second conductor. The low field contour has offsets from a tangent line to the first conductor on the low field contour. Each of the offsets increases a separation of the high voltage conductor from the low voltage conductor. A first offset, located from an end of the high voltage conductor, at a first lateral distance of 25 percent of the minimum separation, is 19 percent to 28 percent of the minimum separation. A second offset, located at a second lateral distance of 50 percent of the minimum separation, is 9 percent to 14 percent of the minimum separation. A third offset, located at a third lateral distance of 75 percent of the minimum separation, is 4 percent to 6 percent of the minimum separation.
