摘要： A method of fabricating a color laser, comprising growing a first thin layer of ionic crystal on a substrate. The crystal can comprise many types of ionic crystals, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride. A second thin layer of a different type of ionic crystal can be deposited above the first ionic crystal layer, such as lithium fluoride or sodium fluoride. An inert metal layer can be deposited between the first and second layers of ionic crystal and above the second layer of ionic crystal. When the first and second ionic crystal layers are radiated with gamma rays, they form color centers at the spots radiated. Because of the difference in crystalline properties of the two different ionic crystal centers, their color centers have different wavelengths. Each of the ionic crystal layers emit light at different characteristic wavelengths when illuminated at their unique absorption frequencies, and can be made to lase separately.

摘要： There is disclosed a flat planar pressure transducer which comprises a planar insulative substrate of a rectangular configuration. Disposed on the substrate is an array of conductive areas which extend from a contact terminal area of said substrate to an end of the substrate. There is a leadless sensor module positioned at said contact terminal area, with the contacts of said leadless sensor contacting contact terminals of said contact terminal area. The leadless sensor is enclosed by an enclosure which is coupled to the substrate and surrounds the sensor. The enclosure has a screen positioned on the top surface to prevent particles from entering or damaging the leadless sensor. The above-noted structure forms a very flat, compact pressure transducer which can be utilized in lieu of flex circuit type devices and provides greater mechanical stability as well as a more accurate output.

摘要： There is disclosed a high pressure sensing header which is relatively insensitive to mounting torque. The header comprises an outer torque isolating shell which surrounds an inner “H” section header. The inner “H” section header has a thick diaphragm and is surrounded by the torque isolating shell which is secured to the “H” section header at a peripheral flange of the “H” section header. In this manner when the header is installed, the installation force is absorbed by the outer shell and there is no installation force or torque exhibited by the inner “H” section which will respond only to stress due to pressure. The torque isolating shell also contains a top surface which has a counterbore that accommodates a crush ring. When the unit is installed, the crush ring is crushed against an installation wall to enable the inner header to receive pressure without experiencing significant installation force.

摘要： A gage pressure transducer comprising a first pressure sensing assembly exposed to a main pressure and a second pressure sensing assembly exposed to a reference pressure. The pressure sensing assemblies comprise half-bridge sensors and means for using an alignment glass plate with each sensor which reduces the amount of oil required for operation, which consequently reduces the back pressures caused by large volumes of oil. The pressure sensor assemblies are hermetically sealed using glass frits, therefore enabling the gage pressure transducer to robustly and accurately measure pressure in harsh environments.

摘要： A novel flexible transducer structure is suitable for attaching to curved surface such as the leading edge of an aircraft wing. The structure comprises a thin flexible sheet of an insulating material with a leadless transducer secured to the sheet. The sheet is then placed over the curved surface and assumes the curvature of the surface. The transducer secured to the sheet provides an output of pressure according the pressure exerted on the sheet. The sheet basically is fabricated from a thin material such as Kapton and is flexible so as to assume the curvature of the surface with the transducer being exposed to pressure applied to the curved surface. The sensor in conjunction with the flexible sheet allows pressure to be measured without disturbing the air flow patterns of the measuring surfaces and because of its construction, is moisture resistant over a large variety of atmospheric conditions.

摘要： A single pressure sensing capsule has a reference pressure ported to the rear side of a silicon sensing die. The front side of the silicon sensing die receives a main pressure at another port. The difference between the main and reference pressure results in the sensor providing an differential pressure output. The reference pressure or main pressure may be derived from a pump pressure which is being monitored. The pump pressure output is subjected to a pump ripple or a sinusoidally varying pressure. In order to compensate for pump ripple, a coiled tube or an adjustable dampening chamber comprising a spiral inlet tube and a volume cavity can be used. The tube length is selected to suppress the pump ripple as applied to the sensor die. In this manner, the pump ripple cannot cause resonance which would result in pressure amplification and which pressure amplification would destroy the sensor.

摘要： A piezoresistive sensor device and method for making the same are disclosed. The device comprises a silicon wafer having piezoresistive elements and contacts in electrical communication with the elements. The device further comprises a contact glass coupled to the silicon wafer and having apertures aligned with the contacts. The device also comprises a non-conductive frit for mounting the contact glass to a header glass, and a conductive non-lead glass frit disposed in the apertures and in electrical communication with the contacts. The method for making the device comprises bonding a contact glass to a silicon wafer such that apertures in the glass line up with contacts on the wafer, and filling the apertures with a non-lead glass frit such that the frit is in electrical communication with the contacts. The use of a lead free glass frit prevents catastrophic failure of the device in ultra high temperature applications.

摘要： An oil-filled pressure transducer having reduced back pressure, comprising an alignment plate having a sensor accommodating aperture, a sensor module inserted into the sensor accommodating aperture, a header surrounding the alignment plate, the header having a protruding top surface, and a diaphragm disposed on the protruding top surface to create a relatively small oil accommodating region between the diaphragm and the sensor. This configuration reduces the oil volume required for operation, which ultimately reduces the back pressure applied against the diaphragm.
