    Abstract: A transmitter arranged in a tire includes a transmitting section, which has a terminal, and a pressure switch. The pressure switch includes a hollow box and a passage that causes an interior of the box and an interior of the tire to communicate with each other. The box includes a conductive deforming portion, which is separate from the terminal when the difference between the pressure in the box and the pressure in the tire is less than a predetermined value and is elastically deformed to contact the terminal when the pressure in the box is higher than the pressure in the tire at least by the predetermined value. The transmitting section transmits a warning signal that causes a tire pressure warning device to issue a warning in response to contact between the deforming portion and the terminal.

    Abstract: A gas safety device includes flow path, shutoff valve that shuts off flow path, flow rate measurement unit that measures a flow rate of gas, gas-side absolute pressure sensor that measures absolute pressure of the gas, atmosphere-side absolute pressure sensor that measures absolute pressure of atmospheric pressure, and pressure value transition detector that detects a transition state of the absolute pressure measured by gas-side absolute pressure sensor. Further provided are sensor drive controller that controls driving of atmosphere-side absolute pressure sensor in accordance with a value of pressure transition in pressure value transition detector, and gas pressure determination unit that calculates gas supply pressure from a difference between pressure values measured when the two sensors are driven. Control circuit is further provided to shut off flow path with shutoff valve when determining anomaly from a flow rate measured by flow rate measurement unit and gas supply pressure calculated by gas pressure determination unit.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating redundant measurement of pseudo differential pressure using two absolute-pressure sensors, each exposed to a different environment. Each of the two absolute-pressure sensors has complementary first and second output nodes. The first output node has a positive relation with and/or response to increasing pressure, while the second output node has a negative relation with and/or response to increasing pressure. A first difference measurement signal is calculated based on a difference between the positive relation output signals of the first and second absolute-pressure sensors. A second difference measurement signal is calculated based on a difference between the negative relation output signals of the first and second absolute-pressure sensors. Both the first and second difference measurement signals are indicative of a pressure difference between the first and second environments. Such redundant measurement of differential pressure can advantageously provide continuous pressure-difference measurement in spite of various component failures.

    Abstract: A pressure sensor is provided. The pressure sensor has a differential pressure sensor adapted to measure differential pressure between two differential pressure sensor inputs in a first differential pressure range. The pressure sensor further includes a first absolute pressure sensor and a second absolute pressure sensor adapted to measure an absolute pressure in an absolute pressure range. The pressured sensor is further provided with a measuring unit configured to determine a differential pressure in a second differential pressure range on the basis of absolute pressure measurements taken by the first and second absolute pressure sensors.
