Vaporizer device with differential pressure sensor

A vaporizer device may include a pressure sensor and an ambient pressure sensor. The pressure sensor may be configured to measure a first pressure in an air flow path in the vaporizer device. The ambient pressure sensor may be configured to measure a second pressure corresponding to an atmospheric pressure. The vaporizer device may further include a controller. The controller may be configured to transition the vaporizer device to a first standby mode when the first pressure is equal to or greater than the second pressure for a first threshold quantity of time. While the vaporizer device is in the first standby mode, the controller may be further configured to transition the vaporizer device to a second standby mode when the second pressure is a threshold quantity greater than the first pressure and no motion event is detected for a second threshold quantity of time.

Industrial process transmitter with radiation shield

An industrial process transmitter includes a housing, sensor circuitry, transmitter circuitry, and a radiation shield. The sensor circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to sense a process parameter and generate a sensor output that is indicative of the sensed process parameter. The transmitter circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to communicate the sensed process parameter to an external unit. The radiation shield substantially surrounds a portion of the housing containing the sensor circuitry and shields the sensor circuitry from gamma radiation.

Prognostic monitoring of complementary air data system sensors

A aircraft health management system for identifying an anomalous signal from one or more air data systems (ADS) includes one or more of a frequency processor, configured to provide a spectral signal that is representative of a frequency content of the first ADS signal, a noise processor, configured to provide a noise signal that is representative of a noise level of the first ADS signal, and a rate processor, configured to provide a rate signal that is representative of a rate of change of the first ADS signal. The aircraft health management system also includes a comparator configured to provide a differential signal between the first ADS signal and the second ADS signal, and a prognostic processor configured to determine if the ADS signal is anomalous by comparing values representative of a flight condition signal, the differential signal, and the spectral, noise, and/or rate signals.

Detection of differential pressure sensor replacement

A method for detecting a replacement of a differential pressure sensor arranged for measuring a differential pressure across a filter of an aftertreatment system of a vehicle. The method includes determining a sensor offset value being an offset from a sensor value measured with a differential pressure sensor; adding an adaption value to the measured sensor value to compensate for the offset value to centre the sensor value around a predetermined level; if a sum of a subsequently measured sensor value and the adaption value exceeds a limit value, concluding that the differential pressure sensor has been replaced.
