Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus that includes a chamber rotor with a chamber and an extension rotor with an extension. The rotors are housed in a rotor case. A pressure cavity is at least transiently formed by the extension rotor and the chamber rotor. The present invention also includes a compressor that includes a chamber rotor with a chamber and an extension rotor with an extension where the extension is adapted to be received in the chamber when the rotors are synchronously rotated. The compressor also includes a power input shaft attached to the extension rotor and a gear assembly attached to the rotors that is adapted to insure the synchronous rotation of the rotors. A rotor case houses the rotors and has an intake port and an exhaust port. The present invention also includes an engine that is similar to the compressor and includes a spark plug. Methods of compressing, pumping and generating electricity and mechanical power are also part of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a contact sensor that detects contact between two objects and includes a first conductor separated from a second conductor by a crushable layer with a predetermined crush resistance. The crushable layer deforms under pressure such that a signal passes between the first and second conductor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor, which includes a conductor connected to a source terminal, while a second conductor is connected to a return terminal. Between the two conductors resides a semi-conductive layer with a predetermined resistance. A resistance measurement device determines how the predetermined resistance of the semi-conductive layer changes in response to a change in pressure or temperature. Also, included is a sensor with integral fault detection. The present invention also relates more generally to a coaxial cable, which includes a semi-conductive layer between two conductors. The present invention also incorporates a method of sensing pressure or temperature by measuring a change in resistance of a semi-conductive layer.
