A pressure sensor has a housing, an air lead-in hole, a pressure lead-in hole, an inner cavity, a sensor chip, a lead frame and a cover plate. One end of the air lead-in hole is in communication with the inner cavity of the housing, and the other end of the air lead-in hole is in communication with the air; the pressure lead-in hole is perpendicularly disposed at the center of the upper surface of the housing, two steps are disposed on the upper surface of the inner cavity, and a horizontal surface-mounted device surface is disposed on each of the steps. The center of the sensor chip is aligned with the centers of the pressure lead-in hole, and the lower end of the pressure lead-in holes are in communication with the cavity of the sensor chip.

Embodiments relate generally to a sensor device, method, and system are provided for housing a sensor. An example force sensor includes an actuation element, a sense die, and a universal housing for holding a sense die. The universal housing has a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls, and a back wall that define a cavity. The sense die is disposed within the cavity. The top wall defines an aperture having a first central axis therethrough. The housing defines an opening between the top wall and bottom wall extending from an exterior of the housing to the cavity. The opening has a second central axis and is configured to receive the sense die therethrough. At least a portion of the actuation element extends from the cavity through the aperture. The first central axis is orthogonal to the second central axis.

An apparatus includes a base assembly, a gasket and a housing assembly. The base assembly may have a locking feature and a bearing feature. The locking feature may have a first passage in communication with an exterior of the apparatus. The gasket may be disposed on the base assembly and may have (i) a base portion, (ii) a column portion and (iii) a second passage in communication with the first passage. The housing assembly may have a sealing feature and may be configured to hold a sensor. The sealing feature (a) may mate with the bearing feature and (b) may compress the base portion of the gasket. The sensor (a) may seal to the column portion of the gasket and (b) may be in communication with the exterior of the apparatus through the first passage and the second passage.

An apparatus includes a gasket and a housing assembly. The gasket may have (i) a base portion, (ii) a column portion and (iii) a passage in communication with an exterior of the apparatus. The housing assembly may have a sealing edge and may be configured to hold a sensor. The sealing edge may seal to the base portion of the gasket. The sensor (a) may seal to the column portion of the gasket and (b) may be in communication with the exterior of the apparatus through the passage.

A MEMS pressure sensor includes a monolithic body of semiconductor material having a first face and a second face and housing a first buried cavity and a second buried cavity, arranged under the first buried cavity and projecting laterally therefrom. A first sensitive region is formed between the first buried cavity and the first face at a first depth, and a second sensitive region is formed between the second buried cavity and the first face at a second depth greater than the first depth. The monolithic body also houses a first piezoresistive sensing element and a second piezoresistive sensing element, integrated in the first and second sensitive regions, respectively.

A sensor element for recording at least one property of a fluid medium. The sensor element includes at least one housing that forms at least one wall of at least one flow channel that can be traversed by the flow of the fluid medium. In the wall, at least one pressure tap branches off from the flow channel. At least one pressure sensor for recording a pressure of the fluid medium is configured in the pressure tap. Provided in the wall is at least one outflow contour that at least partially surrounds an orifice of the pressure tap and is adapted for diverting impurities flowing along the wall away from the orifice of the pressure tap.

A method for manufacturing a pressure-sensitive sensor includes providing an extruder that includes a cylindrical die, a mandrel arranged inside the die and having plural helical grooves on an outer circumferential surface, and an annular outlet sandwiched between the die and the mandrel, and by using the extruder, performing simultaneous extrusion-molding of an elastic insulating material and an elastic conductive material by supplying the elastic conductive material into not less than two of the grooves from the inside of the mandrel while extruding the elastic insulating material, so as to form a pressure-sensitive sensor. The sensor includes a tubular body including an elastic insulation and having a hollow portion along a longitudinal direction, and not less than two conductive ribs including an elastic conductor and helically provided along an inner circumferential surface of the hollow portion of the tubular body so as to protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface.

Targeted antimicrobials are described and related, compositions, methods and systems.

A pressure sensor includes a bearing region and a frame which is spatially separated from the bearing region, wherein a sensing element of the pressure sensor is produced on the bearing region. When the aforementioned pressure sensor is mounted on a package substrate, the stress from the package substrate or a circuit board can be isolated by a space between the bearing region and the frame to avoid unexpected deformation on the sensing element.
