Self Diagnostic Measurement Method To Detect Microbridge Null Drift And Performance
view source
US Patent:

7712347, May 11, 2010
Filed:

Aug 29, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/897058
Inventors:

Lamar F. Ricks - Lewis Center OH, US
Paul P. Bey - Hilliard OH, US
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

G01F 25/00
US Classification:

73 134
Abstract:

A self-diagnostic measurement method to detect microbridge null drift and performance. An ASIC can be designed to include a self-diagnostic feature that automatically occurs at start up or upon command in Normal Operation whereby the temperature compensated microbridge null can be measured in a state of very low thermal energy and allows for the tracking of microbridge null stability versus time. An Airflow Combi-Sensor ASIC (Heimdal) with its strategic partner ZMD can be developed and can be implemented in the form of a self-diagnostic feature that occurs when power is first applied to the ASIC or upon command. When the self-diagnostic is initiated, power is removed and after the electronics have settled, a small power can be applied to the microbridge to measure the bridge null with reduced sensitivity to flow due to self-heating.

Multi-Gas Flow Sensor With Gas Specific Calibration Capability

US Patent:

7769557, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:

Jul 1, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/166047
Inventors:

Paul Prehn Bey - Hilliard OH, US
Richard Gehman - Hilliard OH, US
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

G01F 25/00
US Classification:

702100, 702 45, 702 50, 702188, 73 134
Abstract:

A multi-gas/gas-mixture or liquid flow sensor apparatus utilizing a specific media calibration capability. The flow sensor can be coupled with an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that incorporates a signal conditioner and a memory module. The signal conditioner provides a high order calibration and signal processing of flow signals from the sensor to a processed signal output representative of the flow. The processed signal output can be stored in the memory module. A correction factor can be calculated and stored in the memory module in response to the stored values of the processed signal output, which tends to linearize the relationship between the flow rate and the processed signal output of a measuring system. The correction factor and/or the processed signal output provided by the signal conditioner can be utilized by the measuring system.

US Patent:

8161811, Apr 24, 2012
Filed:

Dec 18, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/641460
Inventors:

Scott E. Beck - Murphy TX, US
Paul P. Bey - Gahanna OH, US
Jamie Speldrich - Freeport IL, US
Mohammed A. Javvad Qasimi - Hilliard OH, US
Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

G01F 1/68
US Classification:

7320426, 7320422
Abstract:

A corrosion resistant flow sensor apparatus includes a flow sensor including a micromachinable substrate mounted on a package substrate that includes electrically conductive traces and substrate bond pads. The flow sensor includes a MEMS sensing structure for sensing a mass flow parameter and sensor bond pads coupled to the sensing structure. The sensor bond pads include a top metal layer on a metal diffusion barrier layer including a metal diffusion barrier layer sidewall. Bond wires couple the sensor bond pads to the substrate bond pads. A housing including sides and a top portion is around the flow sensor and includes a flow channel having an inlet and an outlet. A multi-layer corrosion protection coating includes a nm scale adhesion layer and a self assembled monolayer (SAM) is on the adhesion layer. The protection coating covers the sensor bond pads including the metal diffusion barrier layer sidewall.

Multi-Dynamic-Range Sensor

US Patent:

20100305465, Dec 2, 2010
Filed:

May 27, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/473174
Inventors:

Lamar Floyd Ricks - Lewis Center OH, US
Ian Bentley - New Ipswich NH, US
Paul Prehn Bey - Hilliard OH, US
Assignee:

Honyewell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

A61B 5/087
G01F 1/68
US Classification:

600538, 7320414
Abstract:

A sensing system that produces a multi-dynamic range output is provided. In an illustrative embodiment, a first channel and a second channel receive an analog output signal from a sensing element. The first channel provides a first digital output signal that has a first dynamic range, and the second channel provides a second digital output signal that has a second narrower dynamic range. In some cases, the second narrower dynamic range falls within the first dynamic range, and the first digital output signal may provide a first resolution and the second digital output signal may provide a second greater resolution. The dynamic range and/or resolution of one or more of the first channel and second channel may be dynamically reconfigurable, if desired.

Modular Sensor Assembly Including Removable Sensing Module

US Patent:

20120290268, Nov 15, 2012
Filed:

May 9, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/103891
Inventors:

Paul Prehn Bey - Gahanna OH, US
Bill Hoover - Plain City OH, US
Jamie Speldrich - Freeport IL, US
Ryan Jones - Dublin OH, US
Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:

G06F 15/00
US Classification:

702189
Abstract:

A modular sensor assembly in which a sensing module may be packaged and provided separately from a signal processing module and which, in some applications, may facilitate disposal and/or replacement of the sensing module when exposed to a “dirty” or “contaminated” environment without requiring disposal and/or replacement of the entire sensor assembly. In certain applications, the sensing module may include at least one transducer or sensor and a local memory containing a set of conditioning coefficients. The sensing module may be removably coupled to a signal processing module which, in some cases, may be configured to download the set of conditioning coefficients stored in the local memory of the sensing module, and to use the set of conditioning coefficients to produce a substantially linearized output signal.
