US Patent:

7647837, Jan 19, 2010

Filed:

Aug 29, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/897158

Inventors:

Michael E. Moran - Marysville OH, US
Sean D. Gregory - Columbus OH, US
Jason R. Robinson - Columbus OH, US
John Liu - Columbus OH, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01L 1/00

US Classification:

73766

Abstract:

An active temperature differential compensation for strain gage based sensors. An array of temperature sensors can be placed at the gage locations to measure the difference in temperature that induces strain on the strain gages. The output of the temperature sensor network can be placed in series with the strain gage network to directly compensate the induced voltage caused by the temperature gradient and/or employed as the input of a mathematical algorithm that can compensate the output from the strain gage bridge to dynamically correct unwanted thermally induced strain in the strain gages.

Appl. No.:

13/206428

Inventors:

Sivaprakash Eswaran - Karnataka, IN
Michael Moran - Plain City OH, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01L 9/00

US Classification:

73700, 73714, 737291

Abstract:

A pressure sensor for measuring gage pressure in relatively high temperature environments is provided. The sensor includes a housing that is configured to couple to a source of pressurized fluid and has an inner surface that defines a inner volume. A pressure sensitive device is coupled to the sensor housing and is configured define a reference chamber in at least a portion of the inner volume. The reference chamber is fluidly isolated from the source of pressurized fluid. An atmospheric reference port is formed in the sensor housing and is in fluid communication with the reference chamber for maintaining the reference chamber at ambient atmospheric pressure. A porous metallic plug is disposed within the atmospheric reference pressure port.

International Classification:

B23K 20/10

US Classification:

2281101, 228 11

Abstract:

An automatic chamber evacuating method, system, and apparatus are disclosed, which include a nest, wherein a region or chamber, such as for example the reference chamber of an absolute pressure sensor, may be placed. A switch is used to initiate an automatic process whereby an air operated chuck seals to a tubular region protruding from the chamber via compressed air. An evacuating device connected to the tubular region by the chuck then applies a vacuum which evacuates the chamber. When the chamber has been sufficiently evacuated a message is sent to a programmable logic controller which then outputs a signal to an ultrasonic welding apparatus. The ultrasonic welder crimps and seals the tubular region thereby quickly and efficiently creating a permanent vacuum in the chamber.

International Classification:

H04Q 9/00
H04B 5/00

Abstract:

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for collecting and communicating sensed data. A communication system may comprise a mobile device comprising a wireless communication module; and at least one sensor device located within a work area configured to monitor characteristics of the surrounding environment, wherein the sensor device comprises a controller; one or more sensors; a wired output configured to communicate sensor data from the one or more sensors via a wired connection; and a wireless interface comprising an antenna configured to communicate with the wireless communication module of the mobile device, wherein the mobile device is operable to receive and process the information received from the at least one sensor device. The antenna may at least partially extend from a housing of the sensor device. In some embodiments, the mobile device may not directly communicate with the central server.
