Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUT)

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Baumer Group which has been strongly engaged in the position and distance measurement business involving piezo-ceramic transducers is seriously hindered in its efforts to move toward state-of-the-art capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) solutions; this is mostly due to the fact that many novel approaches for passing to higher miniaturized devices are strongly controlled by strong patents from competitors. The recently patented SOLID on liquid approach pioneered by HE-ARC presents a real opportunity for partnership in the development of a fully innovative and exclusive solution (patentable) thus allowing Baumer Group to come up with a new product portfolio to the international sensor market.
