Abstract:
Pressure sensors are one of the earliest and
most successfully commercialized
microdevices that provide sensing solutions
spanning consumer, industrial, and biomedical
applications. This chapter covers the
developmental history as well as the state of
the art in micromachined pressure sensor
technology. Discussions span from device
fabrication to system level implementation
within the chapter sections of device design,
transducer technologies, and applications.
Details of device design cover fundamental
diaphragm mechanics as well as the impact of
second-order non-linear effects. Sensor
implementations that utilize piezo-resistive,
piezo-electric, capacitive, thermal, optical and
resonant techniques are discussed covering the
various transducer technologies as well as
their fundamental mechanisms. At the
application level, the chapter covers device
packaging, sensor interface circuitry, sensor
calibration and compensation, as well as
wireless system implementation.
Statement of the problem/Objective:
Pressure sensors are used for
many automotive, medical, industrial,
consumer and building devices, which depend
on accurate and stable pressure measurements
in order to operate reliably.

General Objective:
Pressure sensors are used for
many automotive, medical, industrial,
consumer and building devices, which depend
on accurate and stable pressure measurements
in order to operate reliably.

Specific Objective:
A pressure sensor is a device for pressure
measurement of gases or liquids. Pressure is
an expression of the force required to stop a
fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in
terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor
usually acts as a transducer; it generates a
signal as a function of the pressure imposed.
For the purposes of this article, such a signal is
electrical.
Methodology:
The electrodes sense any movement of the
diaphragm and this changes the capacitance.
The change of the capacitance is detected by
an attached circuit which then outputs a
voltage according to the pressure change. This
type of sensor can be operated in the range of
2.5 Pa - 70MPa with a sensitivity of 0.07 MPa.

Materials/Equipment:

 Buzzer alarm
 Wire
 Battery
 Battery wire
 Aluminum foil
 Tupperware (small)
 Copper wire
 Glue gun/Glue stick
 Electrical tape
Treatment/General Procedure:
Using the cover of the tupperware I stick the
copper wire to form it and then I crumple the
aluminum foil to make it into a just small ball
that could fit to the hole I made in the copper
wire.Then I solder the wires through the
copper wire.I connect the red wire of the alarm
buzzer to the copper wire and the black wire
connecting to the black wire of the battery.I
just tape the wires that are messing.

Result/Discussion:
It worked but I got failed in the sound of the
buzzer alarm because it was not to loud to hear
of the pitch.What I did is I made a cone using
a plastic bottle and cover it to the buzzer alarm
so the alarm will be heared loudly enough.

Analysis of data:
I solve the problem of my work through
making a cone to make my alarm get more
loud enough,because the point of this project
is to feel the pressure of it by putting the
pressure sensor through the ground beside the
road and feel the pressure through every car
that pass.
Conclusion:
To fulfill the objective of providing reliable
fiber optical pressure sensors capable of
operating in engine, minimizing the sensor
size and realizing batch fabrication of the
pressure sensors, this thesis presents the
detailed research work on the design,
fabrication and measurement of diaphragm-
based fiber optic pressure sensors. Based on
the EFPI principle, the diaphragm-based
pressure sensing technique was designed,
developed and evaluated. Static pressure,
dynamic pressure and the temperature
dependence of the sensors were measured.
These measurement results indicate that this
type of sensor is a good candidate for high
temperature (600°C) environment.

Recommendations:
Pressure management can be used to calculate
a flow rate or level using various techniques.
There are many operations in use for a wide
range of applications. It is common for
consumer to have difficulty during the
commissioning stage. In most cases proper
installation and cabling is the key to
immediate operation.
