YPSILANTI – Integrated Sensing Systems announced that the U.S. Patent Office has granted it a utility patent for mounting and packaging ISSYS’ sensors integrated with large ducts and piping networks.

The Patent is US 7 823,445 – System and Method of Assessing a Property of a Flowing Fluid.

?These sensor chips are used by ISSYS to measure mass flow rate, volumetric flow rates, density and chemical concentration,? said Doug Sparks, Executive VP of ISSYS. ?They have been applied to testing liquid and gases in fuels, chemical processing as well as smaller fluid lines used in drug infusion systems and fuel cells. This patent is complemented by the other patents owned by ISSYS in the area of flow sensors and MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) devices.?

ISSYS is a leader in advanced MEMS technologies for industrial, medical devices, microfluidic and scientific analytical sensing applications. Founded in 1995, ISSYS is one of the oldest independent MEMS companies in the US. ISSYS operates a “full manufacturing under one roof,” multi-million-dollar, state-of-the-art MEMS fabrication facility located near Ann Arbor, Michigan. With ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13980 certification, and a quality system designed to meet ISO 13485:2003 (medical device manufacturing), ISSYS is a vertically integrated company dedicated to developing and manufacturing system-level products based on MEMS technology (MEMS Inside).
