==PROTECTIVE CAP FOR PRESSURE SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18216440 titled 'PROTECTIVE CAP FOR PRESSURE SENSORS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes an apparatus that includes a housing with a port exposed to an environment. Inside the housing, there is a pressure sensor that measures the pressure of the environment. The pressure sensor is either partially filled with a medium or coated over with it. A cap with multiple openings is placed over the pressure sensor, and these openings are arranged to be offset from the port.

* The apparatus includes a housing with a port exposed to the environment.
* A pressure sensor is placed inside the housing to measure the pressure of the environment.
* The pressure sensor is either partially filled with a medium or coated over with it.
* A cap with multiple openings is placed over the pressure sensor.
* The openings of the cap are arranged to be offset from the port.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Environmental monitoring systems
* Industrial process control
* Weather forecasting
* Automotive applications (e.g., tire pressure monitoring)

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate measurement of environmental pressure
* Protection of the pressure sensor from direct exposure to the environment
* Preventing debris or contaminants from entering the pressure sensor

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved accuracy and reliability of pressure measurements
* Increased durability and longevity of the pressure sensor
* Enhanced performance in various environmental conditions


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Aspects of the subject technology relate to an apparatus having a housing including a port exposed to an environment. A pressure sensor is disposed within the housing to measure a pressure of the environment. A medium partially fills a sensor cavity or is coated over the pressure sensor, and a cap including multiple openings is disposed over the pressure sensor. The openings of the cap are arranged to be offset from the port.
