Title: Young Taek Cha and His Micro-Viscometer Innovations.

Introduction

Young Taek Cha is an inventor based in Daegu, South Korea. His work includes micro-viscometer technologies designed to measure fluid viscosity using compact structures and thin-film components. He is associated with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. His profile lists 3 patents.

Latest Patents

Cha’s listed patent work includes “Micro Viscometers and Methods of Manufacturing the Same.” The invention describes a viscometer with two chambers connected by a microchannel. Thin films cover the chambers, with piezoelectric films positioned above them. Depending on the distance from the center to the edge of a piezoelectric film, its shape may be hexagonal or circular. The design uses these components to support fluid-viscosity measurement.

Another listed invention, “Micro Viscometer,” describes a substrate with two spaced chambers covered by a thin film. An actuating part is positioned over the first chamber, while a sensing part is positioned over the second. At least one main trench is formed between the chambers. Together, these features provide a compact arrangement for actuation and sensing in a micro-viscometer.
