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.

Pressure sensors are disclosed that may perform health monitoring in-situ in harsh operating environments. The pressure sensors may be based on a Clapp-type oscillator that includes one or more resistors, one or more inductors, capacitors, a sensor, and a transistor. Such pressure sensors may be particularly well-suited various applications, such as gas turbine engines, oil and gas extraction, vehicle engines, and exhaust monitoring.

Disclosed is an apparatus for determining physiological parameter. The apparatus has an elongated magnetic probe, a driver coil arranged partially to surround the elongated magnetic probe, a measurement coil with at least a first section and a second section and a controller. The controller is configured to selectively energize the driver coil to create a magnetic force to initiate movement of the elongated magnetic probe to a direction of the first end, measure a first induced voltage and common induced voltage values, determine locator values as a function of time, map the locator values as a function of time from the time domain to a spatial domain and calculate from the spatial domain locator values, a first velocity profile of the elongated magnetic probe, and use the calculated first velocity profile of the elongated magnetic probe to determine the physiological parameter.
