Costas Hadjiloucas - Providence RI, US
Andrew Willner - Attleboro MA, US
Andrew Amatruda - Attleboro MA, US
George Krajewski - Coventry RI, US
Assignee:
Sensata Technologies, Inc. - Attleboro MA
International Classification:
G01L 13/02
US Classification:
73716, 73736
Abstract:
A differential liquid pressure sensor () has an upper housing () that mounts a connector portion () and receives in a recess a sense element module (). The sense element module is a body in which a generally U-shaped oil filled passageway () is formed with openings at opposite ends provided on respective first and second diaphragm mounting surfaces. A fluid pressure sense element, such as a piezoresistive sense element () is disposed in one of the passageway openings and flexible metal diaphragms () are mounted on the respective diaphragm mounting surfaces of the module facing a common direction. A lower housing () having first and second port connections for the respective diaphragms is disposed on the lower surface of the module.

Acceleration Sensor Apparatus And Method For Making Same

View page
US Patent:
55557660, Sep 17, 1996
Filed:
Nov 4, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/148042
Inventors:
Larry K. Johnson - North Attleboro MA
Eric P. Reidemeister - Norton MA
Robert O. Southworth - Pawtucket RI
Michael D. Gouin - North Smithfield RI
William Silva - Taunton MA
Andrew A. Amatruda - Attleboro MA
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01P 15125
US Classification:
7351432
Abstract:
An acceleration sensor is shown having a substrate (16, 16', 16", 16'") on which a capacitor detect plate (24) and source plate mounting portion (28c) are disposed. An electrically conductive blade member (40, 44) having an attachment portion (40a, 44h), a source plate portion (40i, 44a) and integrally attached beams (40b, 40c; 44b) extending along opposite sides of the blade member is mounted on the substrate by welding the attachment portion to a mounting element (36, 36', 36", 36'") which is closely received in a bore (32, 32', 32", 32'") formed through the substrate at the source plate mounting portion. The mounting element or the bore is formed with a surface suitable for forming an interference fit and for making electrical engagement with a conductive layer received in the bore. The mounting element has one end (36b, 36b', 36b") which extends above the top surface (26, 26") an adjustable selected amount(s) to provide desired spacing between the source plate portion and the detect plate. A single mounting element of a pair of mounting elements can be used and may be in the form of a solid (36, 36", 36'") or a hollow (36') pin.

Hermetically Sealed Pressure Sensing Device

View page
US Patent:
62729276, Aug 14, 2001
Filed:
Oct 20, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/421488
Inventors:
Andrew A. Amatruda - Attleboro MA
Karl R. Abrahamson - Providence RI
Steven Beringhause - Norton MA
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01L 912
US Classification:
73718
Abstract:
A capacitive fluid pressure sensor (10, 10', 10") particularly adapted for use with fluids which are incompatible with conventional elastomeric fluid seals is shown in which a thin, relatively flexible metal diaphragm (18, 18', 18") is disposed over a fluid pressure receiving recess (16d, 16d') formed in a bottom wall of a hexport housing (16, 16') and hermetically attached thereto. A capacitive sensor element (12) having a pressure sensitive surface (12b) is disposed in the housing with the pressure sensitive surface placed against the metal diaphragm with a plastic intermediate layer (20, 20', 20", 20'") disposed between the metal diaphragm and the sensor element to minimize hysteresis and output error. The metal diaphragm and plastic layers are shown to be flat members in certain embodiments (18, 18' and 20, 20") and corrugated in another embodiment (18", 20").

High Temperature, Temperature Responsive Snap Acting Control Member And Electrical Switches Using Such Members

View page
US Patent:
54020999, Mar 28, 1995
Filed:
Dec 14, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/166757
Inventors:
Edwin C. Ballard - Rehoboth MA
Andrew A. Amatruda - Attleboro MA
Sheldon S. White - Brookline MA
International Classification:
H01H 3700
US Classification:
337298
Abstract:
A snap acting control member (10, 10b) having high actuating temperatures comprises metal layers metallurgically bonded together with a low expansion (12) and a relatively high expansion layer (14) each having similar moduli of elasticity and the low expansion layer being formed of a precipitation hardenable stainless steel so that after forming into a dished shaped configuration to make the member snap acting the low expansion layer is heat treated to increase the strength. The control member can be used solely to sense temperature or it can be used as an electrical current carrying member. When used in the latter manner, the electrical resistivity of the member can be adjusted by interposing a selected layer (16) between layers (12) and (14) to thereby increase or decrease the resistivity of the member (10b) depending on the particular metal chosen for the interlayer. An electrical switch (24) is shown in which a snap acting member is used as a sensor and another electrical switch (48) is shown in which the snap acting member is a current carrying member.

Speed Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20150233959, Aug 20, 2015
Filed:
Jan 28, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/607093
Inventors:
- Attleboro MA, US
Andrew Amatruda - Attleboro MA, US
International Classification:
G01P 3/481
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a speed sensor includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion includes a sensing assembly for generating a signal associated with a movement of an object external to the speed sensor. The second portion includes a wiring harness for transferring the generated signal to a device external to the speed sensor. The first portion and the second portion are joined. The third portion is over-molded over a point of the speed sensor where the first portion joins the second portion. Over-molding the third portion at the point may act to seal the point from outside contaminants. Moreover, over-molding the third portion at the point may act to strengthen the speed sensor at the point.
