  • Pressure sensor with deflectable diaphragm
    Patent number: 7415886
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for sensing a pressure of a process fluid includes a sensor body having a cavity formed therein. A deflectable diaphragm is positioned in the cavity and deflects in response to a pressure applied to the cavity. An electrode on the diaphragm forms a variable capacitor with the pressure sensor body. The capacitance varies in response to the applied pressure.
    Type: Grant

  • Pressure sensor fault detection
    Publication number: 20070169557
    Abstract: A diagnostic system for a pressure sensor having a cavity configured to receive on applied pressure is provided. The cavity has a first and a second wall. A deflectable diaphragm is positioned in the cavity and configured to form a first and a second capacitance with the first wall and a third and a fourth capacitance with the second wall which change in response to the applied pressure. The capacitances form a first transfer function and a second transfer function. Changes in the first transfer function relative to the second transfer function are detected to provide a diagnostic output.

  • Power generation for process devices
    Publication number: 20060116102
    Abstract: A process device includes a controller, a wireless communications module. The wireless communications module is coupled to the controller. A power generation module is provided to generate electricity for the process device. The power generator module can be disposed within the process device or it can be a separate unit coupled to the process device.
