The component includes a substrate having an upper substrate surface; a diaphragm having an inner diaphragm side oriented towards the upper substrate surface and an outer diaphragm side pointing away from the upper substrate surface, the inner diaphragm side bordering on an inner volume, in which a reference pressure is enclosed, and the diaphragm being able to be warped using a pressure difference between a pressure prevailing on its outer diaphragm side and the reference pressure; and a seismic mass situated in the inner volume, a sensor electrode, which projects out on the inner diaphragm side and extends into the inner volume, being displaceable with respect to the substrate due to a warping of the diaphragm. A pressure and inertial sensor device, and a method of manufacturing a micromechanical component for a pressure and inertial sensor device, are also described.

A tire sensor container system is provided. A tire includes a carcass toroidally extending from a first bead area to a second bead area, and an innerliner formed on an inner surface of the carcass. The tire sensor container system includes a tire pressure monitoring system sensor, which in turn includes a rigid housing that is formed with an oval shape. A flexible container is mounted to the innerliner. The container includes a base and a wall extending radially outwardly from the base, and the wall terminates in a lip. The container wall is formed with an oval shape that cooperates with the shape of the tire pressure monitoring sensor housing. A cavity is defined by the base, the wall, and the lip, and cavity receives and secures the tire pressure monitoring system sensor. The system reduces sensor rotation and maintains consistent sensor orientation to improve sensor functionality and longevity.

A pressure sensor with calibration device includes a casing, a diaphragm, a sensing element, a medium, and at least one calibration element.

The medium is filled in the accommodating space and in contact with the sensing element. The at least one calibration element is adjustably disposed at the casing and extended into the accommodating space to be in contact with the medium, wherein when the at least one calibration element is moved relative to the casing in a direction toward the accommodating space or in a direction away from the accommodating space, the at least one calibration element changes the pressure applied to the medium. The pressure sensor with calibration device adjusts the pressure value sensed by the sensing element via the calibration element.

A pressure measuring apparatus for measuring a jetting pressure of a liquid jetted from a nozzle includes a plate including: a first surface facing the nozzle; and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a pressure sensor configured to detect a discharge position and the discharge pressure at the discharge position of the liquid and generate a signal based on the discharge pressure; and electrical components including a controller configured to receive the signal and collect data regarding the discharge pressure. The pressure sensor is provided on the first surface of the plate and the electrical components are provided on the second surface of the plate.

Embodiments of the invention provide devices and systems to monitor fullness of a patient’s bladder. One embodiment of a bladder fullness (BF) measure system comprises a sensor device (SD) and a controller. The SD generates an output signal (OS) based on the force exerted by the bladder against SD the wherein the OS corresponds to a degree of BF. The SD may be attached to the bladder wall or adjoining tissue and positioned between the bladder and the pubic bone such that the SD is not affected by tissues force other than that from the bladder. The controller connects to the SD and causes an associated implant to perform a function when the SD output signal exceeds a predetermined threshold. Embodiments are particularly useful for providing information on BF to patients suffering from spinal injury or other conditions whereby they have lost the ability to sense BF and/or voluntarily urinate.

A method of calculating and outputting pressure information about the status of an actual pressure of a gas bottle of a door damper at 200 C, performed on a smart device. The method includes receiving, from a non-compensated pressure gauge, a pressure input indicating an actual pressure of said gas bottle of said door damper at ambient temperature, receiving a temperature input indicating an actual temperature of said gas bottle of said door damper, and using said inputs to calculate and convert said actual pressure of said gas bottle of said door damper at ambient temperature to a pressure at a temperature of 200 C, and further comprising outputting pressure information about the status of the gas bottle of said door damper based on said converted pressure at 200 C.

A sensing device includes a body having a first chamber, a second chamber, and a liquid path which are filled with a liquid, the liquid path communicates with the second chamber, a pressure difference detection chip installed in the first chamber, and a pressure detection chip installed in the first chamber.
