Title: Innovations of Clark T-c Nguyen

Introduction

Clark T-c Nguyen is a prominent inventor based in Oakland, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of electromechanical systems, holding a total of 15 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and precision of various devices through innovative resonator structures and measurement techniques.

Latest Patents

One of Nguyen's latest patents is titled "High electromechanical coupling strength hollow disk resonators - System and methods for a hollow-disk radial-contour mode resonator structure." This invention introduces a hollow disk design that reduces the dynamic mass and stiffness of the structure. The hollow disk configuration allows for a considerably stronger electromechanical coupling compared to solid structures at the same frequency, thereby improving performance without excessive gap-scaling. Several embodiments of hollow disk resonators are detailed, including both asymmetric and symmetric disk configurations.

Another notable patent is the "Electrical stiffness-based sensor," which is an on-chip strain measurement device. This device utilizes precision frequency measurements to extract sub-nanometer displacements, enabling accurate residual strain measurements in structural films. The invention employs differential strategies to mitigate bias uncertainty, allowing for the measurement of sub-nanometer displacements. The gap-dependent electrical stiffness shifts resonance frequencies as structural elements stretch or shrink, providing a reliable output based on differential frequencies between two proximal structures with unequal stress arm lengths.
