A submersion sensor for detecting submersion in a fluid is disclosed. The submersion sensor includes at least one float member and at least one sink member. The submersion sensor includes force sensors positioned at distal ends of each of the at least one float member and the at least one sink member. Further, the submersion sensor includes a controller. The controller determines submersion of the submersion sensor upon obtaining signals from the force sensors corresponding to opposite directional movement of the at least one float member and the at least one sink member in the fluid.

Systems and methods for pressure measurement are provided. A ludion with a trapped gas bubble floats between two liquids. Pressure acting upon the liquids causes the bubble to expand or contract, resulting in movement of the ludion which can be measured and correlated with pressure change. Pressure measuring device can measure pressures from 0.05 inHg to 110 inHg with a four-to-one Test Accuracy Ratio (TAR) without using mercury.

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.
