A sensing device with multiple resistors in a compression region
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230304882A1) describes a sensing device that includes multiple gauges and resistors positioned on a port. The first claim outlines the main components of the device, including a first gauge, a first resistor, and a second resistor, all positioned in a compression region of the port. The second claim specifies that the first resistor is positioned orthogonal to the second resistor.
The patent also mentions that the first gauge is substantially L-shaped, as stated in the third claim. The fourth claim further specifies that the first gauge is an L-shaped gauge, with the first resistor positioned on one leg and the second resistor positioned on another leg.
The fifth claim states that the first gauge is positioned outside of the center region of the port. Additionally, the sixth claim mentions that the first resistor and the second resistor are part of a Wheatstone bridge configuration.
The seventh claim describes the port as a stainless steel port that is glass bonded to the first gauge, with the glass bond positioned outside of the center region of the port. The eighth claim explains that the first compression region indicates a negative radial strain under applied pressure or force.
Moving on, the patent introduces a second gauge in the ninth claim, along with a third resistor and a fourth resistor positioned in a second compression region of the port. The tenth claim specifies that the second gauge is also L-shaped, with the third resistor and fourth resistor positioned on different legs.
Similar to the first gauge, the second gauge is positioned outside of the center region of the port, as mentioned in the eleventh claim. The twelfth claim states that at least one of the compression regions is a radial strain compression region.
The patent also includes a method, as described in the fourteenth claim, which involves positioning resistors in the compression region of the port. The fifteenth claim explains that the second resistor is positioned orthogonal to the first resistor to reduce temperature gradients along the first gauge.
The sixteenth claim introduces a third resistor and a fourth resistor positioned in the second compression region of the port, with the third resistor orthogonal to the fourth resistor. This positioning helps reduce temperature gradients along the second gauge, as mentioned in the seventeenth claim.
The eighteenth claim specifies that the compression regions are radial strain compression regions, while the tension region is a radial strain tension region.
Finally, the patent describes a sensing device with two L-shaped gauges positioned outside of the center region and tension region of the port, as stated in the twentieth claim.
Overall, the patent presents a sensing device with specific configurations and positioning of gauges and resistors to accurately measure strain and reduce temperature gradients.
