    Abstract: A MEMS switch is actuatable by a fluid, and includes a piezoelectric pressure sensor that detects the movement of a fluid generating a negative pressure. The piezoelectric pressure sensor is formed by a chip of semiconductor material having a through cavity and a sensitive membrane, which extends over the through cavity and has a first and a second surface. The piezoelectric pressure sensor is mounted on a face of a board having a through hole so that the through cavity overlies and is in fluid connection with the through hole. The board has a fixing structure, which enables securing in an opening of a partition wall separating a first and a second space from each other. The board is arranged so that the first surface of the sensitive membrane faces the first space, and the second surface of the sensitive membrane faces the second space.

    Abstract: Method for determining a first and a second calibrated value of atmospheric pressure, performed by an electronic apparatus comprising a fixed device and a first and a second movable device comprising respectively a first and a second movable barometer. The method comprises: determining whether the movable devices are being inductively charged by the fixed device; if so, acquiring respective measured values of atmospheric pressure through the movable barometers, and a reference value of atmospheric pressure in a common reference point of the electronic apparatus, the movable barometers being at respective predefined height differences with respect to the common reference point; calculating respective pressure differences as a function of the measured values of atmospheric pressure and of the reference value of atmospheric pressure; and when the movable devices are not being charged, acquiring new measured values of atmospheric pressure through the movable barometers, and determining the respective calibrated values of atmospheric pressure as a function of the new measured values of atmospheric pressure and of the pressure differences.

    Abstract: Radiation sensor including a detection assembly and a chopper assembly, which are mechanically coupled to delimit a main cavity; and wherein the chopper assembly includes: a suspended movable structure, which extends in the main cavity; and an actuation structure, which is electrically controllable to cause a change of position of the suspended movable structure. The detection unit includes a detection structure, which faces the main cavity and includes a number of detection devices. The suspended movable structure includes a first shield of conductive material, which shields the detection devices from the radiation, the shielding of the detection devices being a function of the position of the suspended movable structure.
