A pressure sensing device including a light source, at least one resonant structure, a cladding body, a first substrate and a second substrate is provided. The light source is configured to provide an original broadband light. The resonant structure includes a plurality of semiconductor rod structures arranged into a row at intervals along a single arranging direction, and each of the semiconductor rod structures has a lattice constant on the arranging direction. The original broadband light is transmitted between the semiconductor rod structures, and a resonant light is produced, wherein each of the semiconductor rod structures has a length perpendicular to the arranging direction and has a width parallel to the arranging direction, the length and the width are less than the wavelength of the resonant light. The cladding body completely covers the semiconductor rod structures of the at least one resonant structure. The cladding body and the at least one resonant structure are interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. When a pressure is applied on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, the pressure is transmitted to the cladding body along a direction perpendicular to the arranging direction, a deformation corresponding to the pressure is occurred on the cladding body and the semiconductor rod structures on the arranging direction, and a wavelength of the resonant light is changed according to the deformation. Besides, a pressure sensing apparatus is also provided.

A gas sensing device is provided including an enclosure having an internal chamber operable to receive and contain at least one test gas, a photonic heat source positioned to deliver photonic energy into the internal chamber, and a pressure sensor functionally coupled to the internal chamber and operable to detect a pressure change within the internal chamber.

An injection syringe device includes a tubular barrel, a plunger, and a piezo-chromic pressure indicator. The plunger has a distal tip and is designed to fit tightly and to reciprocate within the tubular barrel. Pulling the plunger out of the tubular barrel draws a liquid or a gas inside the tubular barrel in a space between the distal tip and a distal end of the tubular barrel and pushing the plunger into the tubular barrel expels the liquid or gas from the space. The piezo-chromic pressure indicator changes color to indicate pressure applied on the liquid or gas being expelled and/or target tissue being injected with the liquid or gas.

The disclosure relates to a sealed pressure container, which solves the problem in the prior art that a pump is required for providing air pressure in the container. The conventional product is inconvenient for carrying and is expensive. The sealed pressure container includes a body and a winding member. The body has an open end and a flexible portion, the flexible portion is at least one part of the body at one side where the open end is formed. The flexible portion can be wound around the winding member from the open end to provide air pressure in the body by compressing the air inside the body. Thus, without using a pump, tennis balls can be prevented from releasing pressure by keeping in the low-cost sealed pressure container. The sealed pressure container is convenient for carrying and operating and has reduced manufacture cost.

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.
