The invention relates to a method for monitoring the pressure in a device for the pneumatic adjustment of a seat in a transportation means, in particular in a motor vehicle. The device comprises a plurality of cushions (101, 102, . . . , 105) which are able to be filled with air and which are connected via respective valves (201, 202, . . . , 205) to a common preliminary pressure volume (3), wherein a pressure sensor (4) is provided for measuring the pressure (p) in the preliminary pressure volume (3) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) is coupled to a compressor (6) for supplying compressed air without a non-return valve being connected therebetween. For the purpose of monitoring the pressure in a respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105), a predefined pressure is set in the preliminary pressure volume by way of operation of the compressor (6) and/or by way of air discharge from the preliminary pressure volume (3) via at least one leak, with the valve (201, 202, . . . , 205) between the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) closed, wherein the predefined pressure deviates from a target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5) in the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) by at most 10% of the target pressure and/or at most 50 hPa. After the setting of the predefined pressure, the valve (101, 102, . . . , 105) between the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) is opened and the pressure in the preliminary pressure volume (3) is measured via the pressure sensor (4). If the measured pressure (p) deviates from the target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5), the measured pressure (p) is set to the target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5) by way of operation of the compressor (6) and/or by way of air discharge from the preliminary pressure volume (3) via the at least one leak.

A microfabricated pressure transducer is formed in a multilayer substrate by etching a plurality of shallow and deep wells into the layers, and then joining these wells with voids formed by anisotropic etching. The voids define a flexible membrane over the substrate which deforms when a force is applied.

A system for testing a pressure sensor of a seat includes a loading device and a processor. The loading device removably applies weight to the seat. The processor receives a measurement of a pre-installation pressure offset of a bladder of the pressure sensor measured before installation of the pressure sensing assembly into the seat. The processor is programmed to receive a weighted measurement from the pressure sensor in the seat when the loading device applies weight to the seat and an empty seat measurement from the pressure sensor in the seat when the loading device does not apply weight to the seat. The processor determines a threshold value by subtracting the empty seat measurement from the weighted measurement. The processor determines a seat pressure offset value by subtracting the pre-installation pressure offset value from the threshold value. The processor compares the seat pressure offset value to a selected range.
