Reliable flow sensors with enclosures that have predictable thermal variations and reduced mechanical tolerances for a more consistent fluid flow and more consistent flow measurements. Thermal variations can be made predictable by using etched structures in silicon blocks. Mechanical tolerances can be reduced using lithography and high-precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment and techniques.

Resistive flow sensor

Pressure sensors and associated structures that may have reduced light sensitivity. An example may provide structures reducing light at a component on a membrane of a pressure sensor.

Light shields for catheter sensors

Pressure sensors that may be used in flowrate monitoring or measuring systems, where the pressure sensors may enable simple, low-cost designs that are readily implemented. One example may provide a pressure sensor having a built-in flow path with a dimensional variation. Pressures of a fluid on each side of the dimensional variation may be compared to each other. The measured differential pressure may then be converted to a flowrate through the flow path.

Pressure sensor cap having flow path with dimension variation

Pressure sensors and associated structures that may facilitate the use of automated connection processes and tools. An example may provide structures for aligning interconnect wires to pressure sensor bondpads in order to facilitate the use of automated processes and tools.

Manufacturing catheter sensors

Pressure sensors and their methods of manufacturing, where the pressure sensors have a small, thin form factor and may include features designed to improve manufacturability and where the method of manufacturing may improve yield and reduce overall costs.
