TRUE GAUGE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER WITH ANTI-ICING FEATURES
A gauge pressure transducer assembly having anti-icing features to allow for easy drainage of fluids to prevent pooling and icing. The assembly can include a header having one or more atmospheric ports extending therethrough, a differential sensing element mounted to the header, a header cap attached to at least a portion of the header, a gauge adapter attached to the header and in communication with the one or more atmospheric ports of the header, an elongated tube attached to the header cap, and a front port attached to the elongated tube. The gauge adapter includes a plurality of through-holes to facilitate drainage and de-icing. In some implementations, the header and the gauge adapter are disposed at the backside of the gauge pressure transducer assembly to reduce or eliminate regions where water can pool and freeze.
Electronic pressure and temperature sensor for a fluid media
An electronic pressure and temperature sensor includes a chamber disposed within a housing. The pressure and temperature sensor are disposed at a chamber first end. An opening is disposed at a chamber second end, wherein the opening is configured to be in fluidic communication with the fluid media. A viscous gel is disposed within a portion of the chamber and encloses the pressure and temperature sensor apart from the fluid media. A second temperature sensor is at least partially disposed within the housing and is not disposed within the chamber. The first temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the viscous gel, where the temperature of the viscous gel configured for use in temperature compensation calculations used to determine the pressure of the fluid media. The second temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the flow of the fluid media.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
A method for producing a differential pressure sensor includes: a) Providing a sensor assembly; b) Providing a main body with a substantially rotationally symmetrical cavity for receiving the sensor assembly; c) Introducing the sensor assembly into the cavity of the main body; d) Welding the sensor assembly into the cavity of the main body by means of a resistance pulse welding method; e) Introducing, for example, by pressing in, a welding ring between the sensor assembly and the cavity of the main body in an opening region of the cavity; and f) Axial laser welding in the opening region of the cavity such that the main body is welded circumferentially to the sensor assembly by means of the welding ring.
Pressure sensing implant

A separating membrane includes: a planar edge region for the joining of the separating membrane to a diaphragm seal body; a working region offset in an axial direction relative to the edge region; and a transition region between the edge region and the working region, wherein the transition region extends over a radial region of not more than one quarter of an outer radius of the transition region, wherein the working region has a substantially planar center and an embossed pattern or undulation pattern between the center and an outer edge of the working region, wherein from the rest position to a point of deflection with a dimensionless pressure equivalent, the separating membrane has a characteristic curve in which, for a coefficient of determination R2 of a linear regression of the characteristic curve, the following applies: (1−R2)<1%.
SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUE FOR DETECTING CLEANING CHEMICAL USAGE TO CONTROL CLEANING EFFICACY
A system may monitor usage of a cleaning chemical and indicate when the chemical has expired and needs to be replaced. In some examples, the system includes a reservoir containing the chemical and a sensor associated with the reservoir that can detect user interaction with the chemical in the reservoir. The system may track an amount of time until the chemical in the reservoir is deemed to have expired and provide a user alert indicating expiration of the chemical. The system can control the amount of time remaining until the chemical is deemed to have expired based on the detected addition of the object to the reservoir.
