    摘要: Header construction and techniques are disclosed that utilize header layers that provide support for electrical interconnections. A sensor header assembly includes: an upper header layer having upper through holes arranged in a first configuration; a lower header layer having lower through holes arranged in a second configuration axially offset relative to the first configuration; depressions extending from the lower header layer top surface and partially through the lower header layer, each depression defining a footprint corresponding to the first configuration of the corresponding upper through holes of the upper header layer; upper header pins extending through the corresponding upper through holes and at least partially into the corresponding lower level depressions; and lower header pins extending through the corresponding lower through holes and in electrical communication with the corresponding upper header pins. The depressions form support surfaces for supporting at least the corresponding upper header pins during high-pressure operation.

    摘要: This disclosure provides example methods, devices, and systems for an ultra-miniature, multi-hole flow angle probe. The construction, packaging of a multitude of absolute and or differential pressure transducers or sensors are invented for the purpose of providing highly accurate measurement of flow properties, flow angle in particular. The unique placement of sensors leads to further miniaturization relative to current state of the art. Further the use of closely coupled, differential transducer or transducers achieves higher accuracy measurement of small pressure variations coupled with large mean or average baseline pressures, as is demanded in modern aerodynamic or turbo-machinery devices. The use and installation of ultra-miniature sensors insider the device invented herein achieves higher frequency response than allowable via previous state of the part.

    摘要: There is disclosed a high temperature pressure sensing system which includes a SOI, silicon carbide, or gallium nitride Wheatstone bridge including piezoresistors. The bridge provides an output which is applied to an analog to digital converter also fabricated using SOI, silicon carbide, or gallium nitride materials. The output of the analog to digital converter is applied to microprocessor, which microprocessor processes the data or output of the bridge to produce a digital output indicative of bridge value. The microprocessor also receives an output from another analog to digital converter indicative of the temperature of the bridge as monitored by a span resistor coupled to the bridge. The microprocessor has a separate memory coupled thereto which is also fabricated from SOI, silicon carbide, or gallium nitride materials and which memory stores various data indicative of the microprocessor also enabling the microprocessor test and system test to be performed.
