  • Patent number: 7270010
    Abstract: A pressure measurement system may provide ready manufacturing, reliable operation, and/or enhanced performance by using a circuit board housing. In particular implementations, a pressure measurement system includes a pressure inlet joint, a pressure detecting component, a circuit board, and a circuit board housing. The pressure detecting component is coupled to the pressure inlet joint, which is adapted to introduce a pressure of a fluid. The circuit board is coupled to the pressure detecting component and is operable to condition an electrical signal from the pressure detecting component. The circuit board housing at least partially encloses the pressure detecting component and is adapted to engage the circuit board. The circuit board housing has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a larger diameter section and a smaller diameter section, the smaller diameter section coupled to the pressure inlet joint, the circuit board located at least in part in the larger diameter section.

  • Patent number: 7252009
    Abstract: A system and method for pressure measurement may include the ability to readily produce a pressure measurement system. In one general aspect, a process for producing a pressure measurement system includes providing an assembly including a stem, a pressure detector, and a first circuit board. The pressure detector is operable to generate a signal based on pressure introduced through the stem, and the circuit board is operable to condition the signal. The process also includes compensating the assembly, determining a signal output type for a pressure measurement system that will include the assembly, and installing a second circuit board that produces the signal output type without materially affecting the compensation.
