摘要: The invention relates to a modulatable infrared emitter comprising a MEMS heating element and an actuator, wherein the actuator triggers shape and/or structure changes of the MEMS heating element. Said change in shape and/or structure of the MEMS heating element may vary the ratio of the emitting area to the total area, thereby producing a change in intensity of the emitted infrared beam. The invention further relates to a manufacturing method for the infrared emitter, a method for modulated emission of infrared radiation using the infrared emitter, and preferred uses of the infrared emitter. In further preferred aspects the invention relates to a system comprising the infrared emitter and a control device for regulating the actuator.

摘要: The invention relates to a strain-measuring structure, comprising a carrier, which is divided into regions along the predetermined breaking points only after being joined to the object to be measured. After the separation along the predetermined breaking points, the regions individually joined in the joining zones can be moved freely relative to one another in the event of strain of the object, without the strain-measuring structure applying significant forces to the object to be measured, which could distort the strain measurement. Measuring assemblies for measuring strain lie between the regions. Said measuring assemblies can be based on different principles, depending on the application. The invention further relates to a method for producing the strain-measuring structure, to a method for measuring the strain of objects, and to the use of the structure to measure strain. The invention further preferably relates to a system comprising the strain-measuring structure and a control device for reading out and preferably activating and joining the structure.

摘要: In a first aspect, the invention relates to a system comprising a MEMS microphone comprising a sound inlet opening, a vibratable microphone membrane and an electronic circuit, wherein when the microphone membrane is excited by sound waves entering through the sound inlet opening, an electrical signal that is dependent on the sound waves is generated by vibrations of the microphone membrane. A damping element for reducing the sound pressure level of the sound waves acting on the microphone membrane is mounted in front of the sound inlet opening, wherein the damping element comprises an elastic and vibratable damping membrane and wherein, in addition to the microphone membrane, the damping element is induced into vibrations by the sound waves such that the sound energy of the sound waves is divided between the damping membrane and the microphone membrane. This makes it possible in particular to extend the measuring range of the MEMS microphone without distortion to high sound pressure levels that could not previously be measured with the MEMS microphones known in the prior art.
In a further aspect, the invention relates to the use of the system according to the invention for aeroacoustic measurements, preferably for measuring sound pressure waves on surfaces of a vehicle component.
