Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent associated with Gruner: “Pressure relief device having conductive trace sensor formed thereon.” The invention combines a pressure-relief member with a rupture indicator. The pressure-relief member has a central rupturable section surrounded by an outer flange. The indicator uses an electrically nonconductive substrate with a cantilevered tab positioned above the central section, along with a conductive trace extending onto the tab. The trace forms an electrical circuit that can conduct a signal and detect a process condition associated with the device. Gruner’s reported patent count is 1 patent.

Career Highlights
