Abstract: A pressure sensing mat including a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an insulative layer disposed therebetween. The first conductive layer includes a first plurality of spaced apart conductive paths and a first plurality of non-conductive paths therebetween and defining a plurality of gaps in the first plurality of non-conductive paths having a first repeating pattern of a cross shape. The first plurality of spaced apart conductive paths and the first plurality of non-conductive paths extend in a first direction. The second conductive layer includes a second plurality of spaced apart conductive paths and a second plurality of non-conductive paths therebetween and defining a second plurality of gaps in the second plurality of non-conductive paths having a second repeating pattern. The second plurality of spaced apart conductive paths and the second plurality of non-conductive paths extends in a second direction different than the first direction.

Abstract: A pressure sensing mat having first and second conductive layers and an insulative layer. The first conductive layer defines a first aperture and includes first spaced apart conductive regions and first non-conductive regions therebetween. The first spaced apart conductive regions and non-conductive regions extends in a first direction. The second conductive layer defines a second aperture and includes second spaced apart conductive regions and second non-conductive regions therebetween. The second spaced apart conductive regions and the second non-conductive regions extend in a second direction different than the first direction. The insulative layer is between the first and second conductive layers and defines a third aperture. The first, second, and third apertures are aligned with each other such that the first, second, and third apertures form a vent through the first and second conductive layers and the insulative layer.
