Abstract:
A process for detecting operational data on rotating parts of a device with a stationary scanning/evaluation device (1) and a surface wave sensor (30) on the rotor (22), in which signals are transmitted between the stator and the rotor via electromagnetic waves (11, 12) and acoustic energy is stored in the surface unit with the measurement-induced selection of sections (35) of the scanning spectrum (34). Evaluation is performed by scanning and transforming the reply signal.

Abstract:
A vehicle which is operable by a motor and/or muscular energy, in particular an electric bicycle, which includes an electric motor, a crankshaft drive having a first crank, a second crank, and a crankshaft, a torque sensor for detecting a torque applied by a rider at the crankshaft drive, and a control unit, which is set up to actuate the electric motor based on at least the values acquired by the torque sensor to drive the vehicle, the torque sensor being situated at the crankshaft drive and the torque sensor including at least one surface acoustic wave sensor.
Abstract:
A method of evaluating a wear state of an assembly of a flow machine, in particular, of a bearing arrangement of a pump or turbine. For determining a wear characteristic, a mechanical query signal having a pre-definable signal shape is generated by a signal generator and a response signal generated from the query signal is detected using a sensor in contact with the assembly. The response signal is varied in dependence on a variation of a physical operating value of the assembly in accordance with a characteristic pattern, the wear characteristic is determined from the variation of the response signal and the wear state is evaluated using the wear characteristic.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric acoustic resonator based sensor is presented herein. A device can include an array of piezoelectric transducers and an array of cavities that has been attached to the array of piezoelectric transducers to form an array of resonators. A resonator of the array of resonators can be associated with a first frequency response corresponding to a first determination that the resonator has been touched, and a second frequency response corresponding to a second determination that the resonator has not been touched. The array of piezoelectric transducers can include a piezoelectric material; a first set of electrodes that has been formed a first side of the piezoelectric material; and a second set of electrodes that has been formed on second side of the piezoelectric material.
Abstract:
A stress measurement sensor provided with a sensor element that operates according to the SAW principle, comprising a base composed of a first material and the sensor element, which is fixed to the base with a joining material, is to be developed such that it can also be used at higher temperatures and has improved measurement properties. In addition, it is suggested that the joining material be a glass solder.

Abstract:
A surface acoustic wave sensor to measure physical, biological or chemical parameters is claimed. Using different piezoelectric substrate materials, piezoelectric substrates with different thicknesses or metallizations with different thicknesses or patterns are used to distinguish between the effects of different physical, biological or chemical parameters.
