TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Capacitive Pressure Sensor System and Packaging (LEW-TOPS-119)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a state-of-the-art packaged capacitive pressure sensor system that provides in-situ dynamic data acquisition in harsh operating environments. Designed to monitor jet turbofan engine health, this pressure sensor can be placed directly on the engine for highly accurate, real-time data analysis. Another unique feature of this simply designed system is that it can be fitted with an antenna to transmit data wirelessly. This smart sensing technology has undergone extensive testing in extreme environments and is expected to play a key role in the development of a suite of next-generation maintenance and monitoring systems. This important sensor system and packaging can provide more accurate data, improve performance, and extend the service lifetime of commercial and military aircraft, automotive engines, power plants, and more.
