    Abstract: A deflecting ?iaphragm differential pressure sensor is formed so all electrical elements and connections from external circuitry to the sensor are isolated from the pressure media. The deflecting, pressure sensing diaphragm is made of a semi-conductor material, having piezoresistors disposed on a surface thereof to form strain gages to sense deflection of the diaphragm. The strain gage resistors are media isolated by a layer that overlies the strain gage resistors. All forms of the invention provide environmental protection for the electrical connections for external circuitry, which are subject to corrosion from the pressure media.

    Abstract: A pressure transmitter (12) with pressure sensor mount includes pressure measurement circuitry (62). A metal body (100) of the pressure transmitter has a pressure coupling configured to couple to a process pressure P. A pressure sensor (40) is configured to provide an output related to an applied pressure to the pressure measurement circuitry. A conduit (120) is coupled to the pressure sensor (40) and configured to apply an applied pressure corresponding to the process pressure to pressure sensor. A non-conductive spacer (110) is configured to electrically isolate the conduit (120) from the metal body (100). The non-conductive spacer (110) has an opening (112) formed therein and is arranged to convey the applied from the metal body (100) to the conduit (120).

    Abstract: An electrically variable optical attenuator and associated methods are disclosed. In one aspect, the attenuator includes at least one sensor that provides a sensor output with respect to a variable that affects attenuation. Methods of characterizing the attenuator include obtaining a set of attenuation/sensed variable data, and generating a relationship (such as a look-up table or mathematical function) relating the sensed variable to the attenuation. Aspects of the invention also include characterizing the control input/attenuation output to be related by a selected mathematical function.

    Abstract: A micromachined device is described receiving a pressurizable fluid has a plurality of layers bonded together along at least one bond interface, the bond interface having a terminus bordering the pressurizable fluid. In a vicinity of at least one bond interface at least one layer has a shape that reduces a stress magnitude near the bond terminus. In a preferred embodiment a width of at least one layer increases toward the bond interface, to increase the pressure at which the device can operate without fracturing. In another embodiment, both layers bordering the bond interface have widths in the vicinity of the bond interface that increase toward the bond interface. Alternately, the layers have walls shaped such that, for a reference line perpendicular to the bond interface and passing through an end of the bond interface bordering the cavity, the cavity protrudes between the reference line and at least one of the walls.
