Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

The practicalities of measuring blood pressure is a major time-consuming preoccupation in general practice, albeit much ...

Piezoresistive (diaphragm-based) differential pressure sensors based on silicon comprise a thin silicon diaphragm in which resistors (connected together in a Wheatstone bridge) are lodged. If there is ...

Anyone who has attempted to measure the pressure drop of a filter mounted in a filter grille will admit it’s a challenge. Some installations have a significant amount of return duct between the filter ...

During the development of nano pressure sensors for biological applications, the sacrificial layer etching and the sealing of the two membranes divided by a vacuum gap to develop a Fabry–Pérot ...

If just by looking at our watch or cell phone we can know, in real time, our heart rate, the number of steps we take, the calories we burn and the hours of sleep we got the night before, why can’t we ...

From generation to transmission and distribution, the power industry is changing. With distributed energy resources (DERs) increasingly participating in wholesale capacity, energy, and ancillary ...

A doctor explains 11 common mistakes people make when measuring blood pressure, revealing how small errors can lead to ...

But when scientists measure how intense a hurricane really is, they often focus on something you cannot feel or see: central ...

High blood pressure is, unfortunately, an increasingly common health condition. In the U.S alone, almost half of all adults have hypertension, or a blood pressure reading above 130/80 mmHg. Globally, ...

Embedded in cell phones, rings, bracelets or watches, the novel tools aim to make it easier to manage hypertension. But they must still pass several tests before hitting the clinic. By Matías A. Loewy ...
