Title: Innovations of Roger W. Ward
Introduction
Roger W. Ward is a notable inventor based in Park City, UT (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of pressure and temperature transducers, holding a total of 15 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and functionality of transducer technology.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a pressure/temperature transducer with improved thermal coupling. This invention features a transducer pressure crystal that enhances thermal coupling with the external environment. The design includes a cylindrical major portion of the side wall of the pressure crystal, which is positioned adjacent to the inner wall of a chamber within the pressure housing. This configuration allows the crystal to be surrounded by pressure-transmitting fluid, ensuring accurate pressure readings from the external environment. The thermal time constant of the transducer for external temperature changes is significantly decreased, as is the time constant for temperature changes in the pressure-transmitting fluid caused by rapid pressure changes. Additionally, an electrically insulating element may be included to prevent electrical grounding of the crystal to the housing. Various embodiments of this invention are disclosed, including configurations for both pressure and temperature crystals deployed in the fluid-filled chamber.
