Abstract: A multilayer wire array having an upper layer having a series wires arranged in an equally spaced, parallel relationship and a series of internal layers located in a spatial arrangement below the upper layer. Each internal layer is similar to the upper layer, wherein each internal layer is oriented preferably perpendicularly to the adjacent layers. The upper layer is provided in electrical connectivity with a power source. Each subsequent layer is provided in electrical communication with a sensing device. Pressure is applied to the wire array, wherein the pressure distorts the layers causing electrical communication between contacting wires. The connectivity provides an output that is sensed by the sensing device and subsequently analyzed to determine the location and any respective movement of the pressure applied to the array. The output data can be used as a pointing device for a computer, a user identity device, and a security device.

Abstract: An electromagnetic induction device having an array of linearly arranged wires spanning between a pair of conductor plates forming a parallel circuit between each of the wires. The wires are arranged forming a plurality of planes, which are stacked into layers. Multiple induction devices are assembled together providing at least one “inductor” and at least one “inductee”. A moving magnetic field comprised of concentric circles is created in and around the at least one inductor when a cyclic current flows in the said wires. A voltage and current is induced by the said moving magnetic field. The field propagates then collapses through the wires of the inductees in a perpendicular manner, inducing therein a cyclic voltage and a current flow. The “inductor” and “inductee” can be shaped and assembled in a variety of form factors, including a linear arrangement, a toroidal arrangement, a stacked arrangement, and the like.
