SEMITECs new pressure sensor
SEMITEC has developed a new, ultra-small pressure sensor for medical applications.
1. Name
Pressure sensor
2. Description
By using MEMS technology SEMITEC has succeeded in developing a pressure
sensor which can be used in ultra-small spaces.
3. Features:
a) Measurement of pressure in any direction
b) Through utilization and direct mathematical conversion of piezo resistance
accurate sensing is possible. A water or light medium is not necessary.
4. Applications:
Replacing the tactile functions of a human hand this sensor can be used for example
in endoscopy devices, remote body probes and catheters.
