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: The disclosed technology relates to a field serviceable pressure scanner suitable for high-pressure sensing applications and replacement of large pressure transmitter panels. The pressure scanner includes a housing having a mounting plate comprising a plurality of through-hole bores extending from a front to back side for mating with corresponding transducer ports of the pressure sensors, and a plurality of input ports disposed on the front side of the mounting plate and in communication with the corresponding plurality of through-hole bores. The pressure scanner assembly includes two or more field-replaceable (swappable) pressure sensors seal mounted to the back side of the mounting plate, each pressure sensor comprising one or more sensor ports, each of the one or more sensor port in communication with corresponding through-hole bores in the mounting plate, and a multi-channel data acquisition system configured to receive pressure signals from the two or more field-replaceable pressure sensors.

Abstract: An aspect of the invention is directed to a system of both atmospheric and underwater sensors for measuring pressure waves from a noise source. A system of pressure sensors can be formed to determine the location of an external noise source, whether in air or underwater. The system includes at least two arrays consisting of pressure sensors, including at least one atmospheric pressure sensor and at least one underwater pressure sensor, such as a hydrophone. Each sensor may be a seven-fiber intensity modulated fiber optic pressure sensor. The system includes an analog to digital converter for digitizing the pressure data received from each sensor and a processor which processes the received signals to calculate an approximate location of the noise source based upon the pressure signals received by the sensors at different times of arrival. The system can provide this capability in remote applications due to its low power requirements.

Abstract: A sensor chip of a sensor element includes a diaphragm for measuring a differential pressure between a first pressure and a second pressure, a diaphragm for measuring an absolute pressure or a gauge pressure of the second pressure, a first pressure introduction path that transmits the first pressure to the diaphragm for measuring a differential pressure, and a second pressure introduction path that transmits the second pressure to the diaphragms. When the transmission of the first pressure or the second pressure to the diaphragms is indicated by an equivalent circuit, a path for transmitting the first pressure and a path for transmitting the second pressure are symmetrically formed.
