Abstract: A multi-component fluid composition and concentration sensor system and method. The system can be configured with multiple sensing elements whereby each specifically responds to different combinations and concentrations of multiple fluid component mixtures. Because these responses can be captured and committed to a lookup table during an initial calibration sequence, subsequent measurements of unknown mixtures of the same gases will match known states found in the lookup table and the fluid concentrations can be deduced. The number of sensing elements with unique responses to the fluid mixtures should equal the number of unknown fluids that are active on the sensing surfaces, similar to how solving for multiple variables requires no fewer equations than there are unknowns, i.e. “3 equations and 3 variables.

Abstract: A pressure sensor device includes a pressure chamber housing, at least two separate pressure chambers within the housing, at least one pressure port fluidically coupled to each of the at least two pressure chambers, at least one pressure transmitting element per every two pressure chambers disposed in the pressure chamber, which separates the at least two pressure chambers, and at least two optical sensing elements disposed in at least one of the pressure chambers, wherein the at least two optical sensing elements are each optically coupled to an optical transmission medium.
