Title: Aurel Vincent Stan: Innovator in Sensor Technology
Introduction
Aurel Vincent Stan is a notable inventor based in Canton, OH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of sensor technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced sensors that enhance measurement accuracy and reliability.
Latest Patents
One of his latest innovations is the triaxial force pin sensor array. This device is designed to measure the actual forces generated in the footprint of a tire. It features a high density of individual force pin sensors in a modular design, allowing for rapid replacement of defective elements. This design also prevents dirt and contamination from affecting force measurements. Additionally, the triaxial force pin sensor array reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) contamination of the sampled data signals. It exhibits uniform response in the normal direction, regardless of contact location with individual triaxial force pins. Furthermore, it includes mechanical overload protection.
Another significant invention is the 3-dimensional pressure sensor. This sensor utilizes ultrasonic stimulation combined with a pressure-sensitive piezoelectric material to obtain three-dimensional pressure measurements on an object in a single operation. The piezoelectric material is manufactured with a conductive surface on both sides and is oriented to generate a proportional voltage when stretched or compressed. This allows for the measurement of normal and shear forces using the same sensor. In a preferred embodiment, multiple sensors are arranged in a high-density array, with varying orientations to achieve three-dimensional measurements.
