Tendo Technologies

Tendo is a technology company that provides innovative, economical solutions to accurate flow rate and pressure measurements that are extremely challenging to obtain. We seek to leverage the advancement and expertise in high fidelity flow measurements developed in Princeton’s Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department to drastically improve the fidelity of flow sensing at a significantly reduced cost. We are commercializing a new invention developed at Princeton called the Elastic Filament Velocimetry (EFV, patent pending), based on a novel yet simple microribbon structure, which resulted in a highly sensitive sensor that can detect flow rates as low as 0.5mL/hour – smaller than any technology available. The batch processes used for manufacturing the sensors can easily reduce the sensor cost to less than 50 cents at scale. The EFV technology is ideal for administering medical injections because of its sensitivity and low cost. As a versatile platform, the EFV can be operated in any fluid (both liquid and gaseous) and has attracted interests from other industries such as HVAC systems.
