Electro-mechanical miniaturized device for pressure measurements
First Claim
1. An electro-mechanical miniaturized device for pressure measurements, comprising:
- at least one first electro-mechanical miniaturized pressure sensor member configured to detect a respective first pressure value (P1) and to generate a first electrical signal (S1) representative of said first pressure value (P1);
at least one second electro-mechanical miniaturized pressure sensor member, arranged within a respective casing that is suitable to seal the second sensor member, and configured to detect a respective second pressure value (P2) and to generate a second electrical signal (S2) representative of said second pressure value (P2),wherein said respective casing is configured to take a closed state, in which it protects the at least one second sensor member against direct exposure to a surrounding environment, and an open state, in which it allows the at least one second sensor member to be directly exposed to the surrounding environment;
a hardware processor, operatively connected to the first and the second sensor members, configured to determine a measured pressure value (P) based on said first (Si) and second (S2) electrical signals;
an interface, operatively connected to the hardware processor and configured to provide an output of said measured pressure value (P),wherein said first and second sensor members, the hardware processor, and interface are comprised in a single integrated device.
