摘要： An oil-filled pressure transducer having reduced back pressure, comprising an alignment plate having a sensor accommodating aperture, a sensor module inserted into the sensor accommodating aperture, a header surrounding the alignment plate, the header having a protruding top surface, and a diaphragm disposed on the protruding top surface to create a relatively small oil accommodating region between the diaphragm and the sensor. This configuration reduces the oil volume required for operation, which ultimately reduces the back pressure applied against the diaphragm.

摘要： A dual diaphragm pressure transducer, or sensor, with compensation for non-pressure effects is disclosed. The pressure sensor can include two pressure transducers located on separate portions of a chip. The first pressure transducer can be a differential pressure transducer, which produces a signal proportional to one or more applied pressures and includes other non-pressure effects. The second pressure transducer can be sealed in a hermetic chamber and thus can produce a signal proportional only to non-pressure effects. The signals can be combined to produce a signal proportional to the applied pressures with no non-pressure effects. The first and second pressure transducers can be physically and/or electrically isolated to improve sealing between the two pressure transducers and prevent pressure leaks therebetween.

摘要： It is an object of the present invention to provide a pressure transducer having a header wherein the header is comprised of a first section and a second section that are offset from each other. Each first and second section has a flexible diaphragm adapted to receive a first and second pressure, respectively. A central channel connects the diaphragms and a pressure sensor, located within the central channel, communicates with the channel and produces an output equal to the difference between the first and second pressures. The resultant device is a low differential pressure transducer which enables one to bring leads from the sensor out while having diaphragms of substantially the same size and diameter, therefore enabling the diaphragms to exhibit the same back pressure and be equally compliant.

摘要： A joystick apparatus employs a hermetically sealed load cell having strain gauges placed on flexible beams formed on the load cell. All of the strain gauges are on the same surface of the load cell and therefore wiring is performed on a single side of the load cell. The strain gauges are enclosed in hermetically sealed cavity. The sensing diaphragm consists of a concentric thick inner and outer section joined by thinner diametrically opposed beam elements. The thin beam elements are compliant members which can deflect. Each beam includes strain gauges or sensor elements and the load cell is coupled to a joystick which when moved causes the beams to deflect to cause the sensor elements to produce an electrical output proportional to the force and direction of the joystick. The sensor can yield an output proportional to any angle over the 360° movement of the joystick to provide outputs proportional to the X and Y positions of said joystick. Thus, the joystick arrangement can resolve any angle or force into X and Y components for full directional control.

摘要： A high pressure transducer has an H shaped cross-section with a center arm of the H having a top and bottom surface with the top surface of the H accommodating four strain gauges. Two strain gauges are located at the center of the top portion of the center arm of the H and are positive strain gauges, while two strain gauges are located near the periphery of the center arm of the gauge. The bottom surface of the center arm of the gauge has an active area of a smaller diameter than the circular diameter of the center arm portion of the transducer. The smaller active area is surrounded by a thicker stepped area which surrounds an active area on the pressure side of the H shaped member. The surrounding stepped area enables one to position the two negative strain gauges on the opposite surface of the center arm and near the periphery to thereby cause the negative gauges to respond to a negative stresses and therefore to enable one to provide a full Wheatstone bridge which includes the two positive strain gauges located at the center of the center arm of the H and the two negative peripheral gauges.
