DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a critical need and very large market for a miniature ultra-low pressure transducer to monitor pressure within confined body spaces for both animal and human application. Thus, BioTechPlex proposes to develop such a pressure sensor system with wide dynamic range and ultra-fine resolution. This Fiber-Optic-Linked Pressure Sensor (FOLPS) is based on sensing the pressure-induced deflection of a corrugated membrane using a light emitting diode, fiber optics and amplitude modulation. Our short-term objective is to produce and introduce into market the FOLPS for animal application. Our long-term goal is to establish the FOLPS as the preferred pressure measurement system for a wide variety of animal and human applications. BioTechPlex is convinced that the FOLPS will be a blockbuster marketing success based on: 1) the projected rapid double digit growth in the biomedical pressure monitoring market; 2) the market-oriented FOLPS design; and 3) the technological innovations of the FOLPS that enable robust measurements to be made with high stability and repeatability. Following the successful Phase I study, BioTechPlex will accomplish the following two objectives in Phase II: 1) Develop the FOLPS system as a pressure measurement system; 2) Develop the FOLPS system into a system to measure real-time pulmonary function analysis for small animals. BioTechPlex will also explore the FOLPS system to provide pressure measurements within confined spaces in both animals and humans for a wide variety of applications such as airway pressure, arterial and venous pressures, intra-cranial pressure, gastrointestinal pressures and bladder pressure.

描述（由申请人提供）： 对于用于监测动物和人类应用的有限身体空间内的压力的微型超低压传感器有着迫切的需求和非常大的市场。因此，BioTechPlex建议开发这样一种具有宽动态范围和超精细分辨率的压力传感器系统。这种光纤连接压力传感器 (FOLPS) 基于使用发光二极管、光纤和幅度调制来感测波纹膜的压力引起的偏转。我们的短期目标是生产用于动物应用的 FOLPS 并将其推向市场。我们的长期目标是将 FOLPS 打造成各种动物和人类应用的首选压力测量系统。 BioTechPlex 坚信 FOLPS 将取得巨大的营销成功，因为：1) 生物医学压力监测市场预计将实现两位数的快速增长； 2）以市场为导向的FOLPS设计； 3) FOLPS 的技术创新使得能够进行具有高稳定性和可重复性的稳健测量。继第一阶段研究成功之后，BioTechPlex 将在第二阶段实现以下两个目标： 1) 开发 FOLPS 系统作为压力测量系统； 2）将FOLPS系统开发成小动物实时肺功能测量分析系统。 BioTechPlex 还将探索 FOLPS 系统，在动物和人类的有限空间内提供压力测量，适用于多种应用，例如气道压力、动脉和静脉压力、颅内压力、胃肠压力和膀胱压力。
