    Abstract: A device is disclosed herein. The device comprises a housing, a gas, an antenna, and a control module. The housing defines and hermetically seals an interior cavity. The gas is contained within the interior cavity of the housing at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. At least a portion of the antenna is within the interior cavity of the housing. The control module is operably coupled with the antenna to transmit an incident radio wave into the interior cavity of the housing and receive a reflected radio wave within the interior cavity of the housing. The control module is configured to determine a resonance frequency of the interior cavity of the housing based on, at least partially, the reflected radio wave, and determine the pressure of the gas contained within the interior cavity of the housing based on, at least partially, the resonance frequency of the interior cavity of the housing.

    Abstract: A pressure detecting apparatus made by 3D printing technologies being able to be used in dangerous areas is provided. It mainly comprises a light source, a processor, a coupler, and at least one pressure transducer. The pressure transducer comprises a main body and a fiber grating. The fiber grating comprises a fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the fiber grating is fixed on the main body and covers the fiber Bragg grating sensor. When the main body is placed in a fluid area, the fluid would flow through the opening to deform the strain layer and generate a strain variation on the fiber Bragg grating sensor to cause a signal variation in the reflection frequency spectrum. The coupler is configured to couple to the light source and the pressure transducer to decode the signal variation into pressure parameters.

    Abstract: A high-temperature pressure sensor is provided. The sensor includes a quartz substrate with a cavity etched on one side. A reflective coating is deposited on at least a portion of the cavity. The sensor further includes a ferrule section coupled to the quartz substrate with the cavity therebetween. The cavity exists in a vacuum, and cavity gap is formed between the reflective metal coating and a surface of the ferrule. The sensor also includes an optical fiber enclosed by the ferrule section and extending from the cavity gap to an opposing end of the ferrule section and a metal casing surrounding the ferrule section and the quartz substrate with an opening for said optical fiber extending therefrom. The pressure applied to the quartz substrate changes the dimensions of the cavity gap and a reflected signal from the reflective coating is processed as a pressure.

    Abstract: An optical pressure monitoring system includes a tube from an infusion set and an optical signal sensor disposed to detect changes in the diameter of the tube and thereby determine pressure changes within the tube. By selecting the position of the tube relative to the optical signal emitter and optical signal receiver, the optical signal sensor can both detect pressure changes and provide an integrity check for both the functioning of the optical signal sensor and the placement of the tube. By modifying the tube to exaggerate changes in tube diameter responsive to pressure changes, the sensitivity of the optical signal sensor can be increased.

    Abstract: An apparatus that senses the pressure within a fluid line which has an external surface. The apparatus includes a sensor which has a probe that is in contact with the external surface of the fluid line. Any change in pressure deflects the fluid line and displaces the probe. The sensor provides an output signal that is representative of the probe displacement.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-invasive sensing of the pressure within a pipe (or other vessel) is disclosed. An optical source produces a first light beam. This first light beam is split between a first (reference) and a second (measurement) optical fiber. The second optical fiber is associated with the pipe such that circumferential displacements in the pipe, due to changes in internal pressure, result in corresponding displacements in the length of the second optical fiber. Length changes in the optical fibers result in variations in the phase of the light emerging therefrom. The phase difference between the light beams emitted from the first and second optical fibers is then determined and related to changes in the internal pressure of the pipe.
