    摘要: A modular sensor system includes a plurality of varying types of sensors that provide multiple sensing measurands for sensing operations. A housing is generally associated with the varying types of sensors, such that the housing introduces media to be sensed by the sensors. An electrical interface can also be connected to the sensors, wherein the electrical interface permits a logical physical connection to be made to a selected sensor in order to maximize sensing sensitivity and provide a sensing repeatability and accurate sensor compensation thereof for the sensing operations.

    摘要: A combinational sensor system for measuring multiple measurands includes a flow transducer, a pressure transducer and a humidity transducer. The pressure and humidity transducers are provided with independent access to sensed media and are ratiometric to a supply voltage, whereas the flow sensor is sensitive to openings to the flow path. The combinational sensor system utilizes elastomeric seals that include patterned electrically conductive and non-conductive seals. An ASIC is generally associated with the combinational sensor, and is located on a patterned electrically conductive substrate lead frame or for signal conditioning in order to detect any of the sensed measurands. The transducers can be arranged in a manner that distributes the transducers to optimize the accuracy and response time of the combinational sensor system.

    摘要: A self-diagnostic measurement method to detect microbridge null drift and performance. An ASIC can be designed to include a self-diagnostic feature that automatically occurs at start up or upon command in Normal Operation whereby the temperature compensated microbridge null can be measured in a state of very low thermal energy and allows for the tracking of microbridge null stability versus time. An Airflow Combi-Sensor ASIC (Heimdal) with its strategic partner ZMD can be developed and can be implemented in the form of a self-diagnostic feature that occurs when power is first applied to the ASIC or upon command. When the self-diagnostic is initiated, power is removed and after the electronics have settled, a small power can be applied to the microbridge to measure the bridge null with reduced sensitivity to flow due to self-heating.

    摘要: A feedback operated DC bridge circuit for monitoring the voltage variations in a voltage divider circuit using a voltage controlled resistance component to reach a null balance across the bridge. Amplification is provided at higher accuracy near the null point when the voltage difference across the bridge is zero. The feedback bridge circuit includes an integrator which directly drives the controlling component to the value of the resistance in an unknown branch to force the null condition. The voltage controlled component (configured as a discrete metal oxide semiconductor device or bipolar junction transistor) and the balancing scheme are suitable for microfabrication and provides noise-rejection enhancement. The interconnected integral feedback of the autonulling DC bridge enables both a neural network for pre-processing sensor input in a spatial domain as well as general analog computation that mimics a first order differential equation in the form of the system state equation.
