Title: Innovations of Robert Leslie Williams
Introduction
Robert Leslie Williams is an accomplished inventor based in Albuquerque, NM (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of tire technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a passive tire pressure sensor and method. This invention features a surface acoustic wave device that includes a micro-machined pressure transducer for monitoring tire pressure. The device is designed with a micro-machined cavity sealed by a flexible conductive membrane. When the external tire pressure matches the cavity pressure, the membrane contacts ridges on the backside of the device. These ridges are electrically connected to conductive fingers of the device. When the pressure is correct, selected fingers are grounded, producing patterned acoustic reflections to an impulse RF signal. If the external tire pressure is lower than the cavity reference pressure, a reduced reflected signal is sent to the receiver. Additionally, the sensor can identify itself through a unique reflected identification pulse series.
