Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensor has an electronic chip and a sensor chip which are arranged within a functional volume which is at the most 4-5 mm long, a maximum 2-3 mm wide, and with a maximum height of 0.5-0.8 mm, thereby provide a potentially economical filter element having a compact sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A filter element, comprising: a main part; and a sensor, comprising: an electronic chip; and a sensor chip, wherein the electronic chip and sensor chip are arranged within a functional space which is at most 5 mm long, at most 3 mm wide, and at most 0.8 mm high, wherein the sensor is arranged on the main part, wherein the main part includes a filter medium including an upstream side and a downstream side, wherein the sensor chip is high-resolution such that a pressure differential between the upstream side and the downstream side in a range of from 10 to 500 Pa can be detected, and wherein the sensor chip has a resolution of 5 Pa.
