US Classification:

73754

Abstract:

Pressure sensor methods and systems are disclosed. In general, two micromachined die and a diaphragm for a pressure sensor can be provided. The two micromachined die can be embedded in a glass adhesive on a surface of the diaphragm, such that the glass adhesive possesses a large size relative to the two micromachined die. The large size of the glass adhesive creates a large planar target for placement of the two micromachined die upon the diaphragm, thereby providing a size difference between the glass adhesive and the two micromachined die thereby creates an optimum strain transfer, while maintaining stability for the pressure sensor.

Abstract:

A probe actutaed switch comprising a plurality of electrical contact blades and a first and second actuator for engagement with a first and second probe. The actuators are slidably mounted and positioned to engage selected ones of the contact blades. Each actuator defines a rest position and is biased to that rest position by selected contact blades. First and second probe guides are aligned for engagement with the first and second probes. Each guide is adapted to guide a respective probe into engagement with a respective actuator. A latch mechanism is positioned to releasably latch the first actuator in its rest position. As the probes are inserted into the respective probe guides, they are guided into engagement with the actuators. The second actuator is thereupon moved from its rest position to alter the electrical connections of selected ones of the plurality of contacts. The first actuator is held in its rest position until the first probe is fully inserted.
