Automatic zero reset for a pressure transducer
Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are provided for automatically resetting a zero-offset calibration coefficient for a pressure transducer. Ambient pressure measurements from a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor can be received by a computing device and compared. Based on determining a difference in the received ambient pressure measurements, an updated zero-offset calibration coefficient can be generated. The updated zero-offset calibration coefficient can be transmitted to the first pressure sensor, which once received, causes the first pressure sensor to update a previously determined zero-offset calibration coefficient with the updated zero-offset calibration coefficient.

Smart surface sensor for collecting data
A device includes a channel, a slit, and a cap. The channel is formed on a surface of the device. The slit separates the channel to a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises liquid metal, e.g., gallatin. The second portion comprises gas. The liquid metal moves within the channel between the first and the second portions in response to external stimuli, e.g., pressure. The liquid metal moving within the channel changes electrical characteristics, e.g., capacitive value, inductance value, resistance value, resonance frequency, etc., of the device.
MINIATURE IMPLANTABLE WIRELESS PRESSURE SENSOR
A miniature wireless pressure sensor has an inductor and a capacitor. The inductor and the capacitor form a L-C resonator with a resonate frequency. The inductor's inductance is affected by a slidable electro-magnetic element. When an outside pressure is applied onto the element, it causes the element to move and such movement changes the inductance of the inductor. Because of that, the resonate frequency is changed. Therefore, the change in resonate frequency indicates a change in the outside pressure. The L-C resonator is calibrated to correlate with the outside pressure. Such a miniature wireless pressure sensor facilitates the monitoring of physiological pressure in different part of human body such as eyes and cranium.
