AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new type of sensor called an optronic chip (OCh) allows for precise measurements over extreme environmental factors like pressure, temperature, humidity levels, etc., without being affected by external influences from other things around them. Its technical effect includes improved performance due to increased flexure properties compared to previous designs while maintaining good signal quality at low temperatures.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the accuracy and resolvability of miniature electronic devices made using MEMS techniques due to their ability to generate minute forces caused by external stimuli without being affected by gravity effects during operation. These tiny movements cause errors when measuring physical quantities. To address this issue, there was proposed a new type of sensor called Planck Microcanostor Accelerometry (PCA). PCA allows for precise measurements while maintaining stability against gravitational impact.
