Title: Innovations of Thomas Link
Introduction
Thomas Link is an accomplished inventor based in Rottweil, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of sensor technology, holding two patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a pressure difference sensor and method for its manufacture. This sensor includes a measuring membrane arranged between two platforms, which are connected pressure-tightly via a first insulating layer to form pressure chambers. The insulating layer is primarily made of silicon oxide. The sensor also features an electrical transducer that registers a pressure-dependent deflection of the measuring membrane. The platforms have support positions that the measuring membrane partially lies against in case of overload, with these positions having height variations created through isotropic etching. The height of each support position is a function of its distance from a base in the reference plane. Another notable patent is a calibration method and calibration device for a surgical referencing unit. This invention enables the spatial position and orientation of a surgical referencing unit, equipped with at least one inertial sensor, to be specified in relation to a spatial coordinate system.
