A pressure sensing device includes: a body assembly having a main body with a sensor housing defined by an inner bottom wall and a side wall of the main body extending upwardly from the bottom wall into which a pressure sensor is disposed; the pressure sensor provided with a lower surface to be exposed to an applied pressure and having an upper contact portion disposed at an upper surface of the pressure sensor; a fluid inlet channel formed on the main body and a fluid pressure port formed in the sensor housing in communication with the fluid inlet channel and a connector assembly being at least partly placed into the body assembly having a connector body with an electrical circuit for providing an electrical output signal corresponding to the applied pressure; the electronic circuit having a connection member housing portion.

A pressure measuring device includes a pressure gauge having a pressure measuring member, at least one connection line which connects the pressure gauge to a measured media source, a connection block which is fluidically connected to the pressure gauge, a heating element and/or cooling element which controls a temperature of the connection block, and at least one closable vent hole which is arranged in the connection block. A section of the at least one connection line which is connected to the pressure measuring member is arranged in the connection block. The at least one closable vent hole is arranged to branch off from the at least one connection line in an ascending manner and to open above the at least one connection line.

In a pressure sensor, an electric field acting on one end surface of a sensor chip (16) is blocked by a shielding member (17), and an electric field acting on another end surface of the sensor chip (16) is removed through one end portion of a chip mounting member (18), a group of input and output terminals (40ai), and a bonding wire (Wi).

Improvements in thin film sensors are disclosed. These can be used for aircraft applications. Dielectric isolation washers can be provided between a pressure sensor and an exterior metal housing of a sensor assembly. In this manner, high voltage inputs from a lightning strike or other source that reach the sensor housing are not transmitted to the sensor. Dielectric washers, insulators, and potting compounds can thus isolate a metal thin film pressure sensor from adjacent metal components (e.g., using non-conducting insulating materials like Torlon, zirconia and nylon). Besides their high dielectric strength, these materials exhibit compressive strength and resistance to wear, creep and corrosion. Desirable thicknesses for these components are provided. The described thin film pressure sensor embodiments can attain a dielectric rating of 1500 VAC.

A MEMS photoacoustic gas sensor includes a first membrane and a second membrane opposing the first membrane and spaced apart from the first membrane by a sensing volume. The MEMS photoacoustic gas sensor includes an electromagnetic source and communication with the sensing volume to deflect the first membrane and the second membrane.

A pressure sensor includes a pressure detection element; a substrate on which the pressure detection element is mounted; and a cap in a tubular shape, the cap being attached to the attachment surface of the substrate with an adhesive, the attachment surface enclosing the periphery of the pressure detection element. An attracting concave part is in the end face of the cap, the end face facing the attachment surface, so as to have an inclined surface the distance of which from the attachment surface is increased in a direction from the outer circumferential surface of the cap toward its inner circumferential surface. Part of the adhesive is embedded in the interior of the attracting concave part.

An apparatus in the field of optics technology, can include a reflector, a reflector substrate, and an extinction component. The reflector can be mounted on the reflector substrate. The extinction component can be arranged on a front surface of the reflector substrate. The reflector can be configured to reflect incident light signals. The extinction component can be configured to reduce the scattered light produced by the incident light signal on the reflector substrate. An optical scanning device (for example, lidar) having such features may greatly reduce the scattered light inside the lidar, reduce the detection blind area caused by the stray light, and greatly improve the receiving and detecting capabilities of the lidar.

Disclosed herein are various techniques and devices for detecting a level of fluid within a fluid collection receptacle. These techniques and devices may further determine a flow rate of fluid entering the fluid collection receptacle or a volume of fluid collected within the fluid collection receptacle. Sensors, including pressure sensors, may be installed in, on, or within the fluid collection receptacle to detect information about the liquid within the receptacle including fluid level, flow rate, and volume.
