Abstract:
A resistor-capacitor network for terminating transmission lines. The network includes a core of dielectric material. Capacitors are formed within the core from spaced apart electrode plates. Terminals extend from the electrode plates to a top surface of the core. The electrode plates are oriented perpendicular to the top surface. Ball pads are located on the top surface.

US Patent:
6938491, Sep 6, 2005
Filed:
Apr 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/417593
Inventors:
David Cameron Clark - Elkhart IN, US
Craig N. Ernsberger - Granger IN, US
Assignee:
CTS Corporation - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
G01L009/00
US Classification:
73753
Abstract:
A pressure sensor for an internal combustion engine cylinder. The sensor has a housing with a pair of ends and a bore that extends through the housing. A barrel is mounted in the bore toward one end. The barrel has a cavity. A piezoelectric body is mounted in the cavity. The piezoelectric body has a first and second electrode. The piezoelectric body generates an electrical signal that is indicative of the pressure in the cylinder. A plate is mounted adjacent the barrel. The plate retains the barrel in the housing. An electronic circuit is mounted in the bore toward the other end. The electronic circuit is electrically connected to the electrodes. The electronic circuit receives the electrical signal from the electrodes and provides a conditioned electrical signal as an output.

US Patent:
6997059, Feb 14, 2006
Filed:
May 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/846759
Inventors:
Craig Ernsberger - Granger IN, US
Jason Langhorn - South Bend IN, US
Assignee:
CTS Corporation - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
G01L 9/00
US Classification:
73753, 3612831
Abstract:
A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure level of a pressurized medium. In one embodiment, the pressure sensor has a high pressure side and a low pressure side. An aperture may extend through at least a portion of the sensor assembly, and a seal is located in the aperture. The seal seals the high pressure side from the low pressure side. Electrical leads extend through the seal between the high pressure side and the low pressure side. A substrate is located on the high pressure side. A pressure sensitive resistor is mounted on the substrate such that the resistor is directly exposed to the pressurized medium. The resistor changes resistance in response to a change in pressure. The resistor is connected to the electrical leads.

US Patent:
7093495, Aug 22, 2006
Filed:
Nov 19, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/716752
Inventors:
Craig Ernsberger - Granger IN, US
Assignee:
CTS Corporation - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
G01L 9/00
US Classification:
73754, 3612831
Abstract:
A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure level of a medium. The pressure sensor includes a rigid substrate having a medium contacting side and a pressure sensitive resistor mounted on the medium contacting side. The resistor exhibits a change in resistance in response to pressure changes on the resistor above a predetermined threshold. Other embodiments of the invention are shown using a wheatstone bridge with pressure sensitive resistors and resistors that are insensitive to pressure changes.

Filed:
Aug 31, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/931134
Inventors:
Craig Ernsberger - Granger IN, US
Robert R. Rainey - Elkhart IN, US
Patrick B. Blakesley - Goshen IN, US
Jason Langhorn - South Bend IN, US
Assignee:
CTS Corporation - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
G01L 9/02
US Classification:
73719, 73725, 73734
Abstract:
A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure level of a pressurized medium. The pressure sensor includes a housing that has a high pressure side, a low pressure side and an aperture. A substrate is located in the aperture. The substrate has a pair of ends and a center portion. The center portion is brazed to the housing in the aperture. The center portion seals the high pressure side from the low pressure side. A pressure sensitive resistor is mounted to one end of the substrate. A reference resistor is mounted to another end of the substrate. A circuit line is located on the substrate. The circuit line is connected between the pressure sensitive resistor and the reference resistor.

US Patent:
7342804, Mar 11, 2008
Filed:
Aug 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/914739
Inventors:
Jason Langhorn - South Bend IN, US
Craig Ernsberger - Granger IN, US
Assignee:
CTS Corporation - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
H05K 1/16
US Classification:
361766, 361765, 361792, 361794
Abstract:
An R-C network formed on a substrate. The capacitor includes a metal member with anodized and unanodized layers. The unanodized layer functions as one of the capacitor's electrodes. The anodized layer functions as the capacitor's dielectric layer. The resistor is formed from material on the same side of the substrate as the capacitor. In some versions of the invention, the resistor is formed on top of a substrate dielectric layer. In these versions of the invention, a conductor both functions as one of the capacitor's electrodes and connects the resistor to the capacitor. In alternative versions of the invention, the resistor is formed from a film that disposed on the undersurface a metal foil. The foil functions as the resistor to capacitor conductor. Sections of the foil that are removed expose and define the resistor.
