  • CONTACT SENSORS, FORCE/PRESSURE SENSORS, AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME
    Publication number: 20130204157
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are contact sensors having a conductive composite material formed of a polymer and a conductive filler. In one particular aspect, the composite materials can include less than about 10 wt % conductive filler. The composite material of the contact sensors can have physical characteristics essentially identical to the polymer, while being electrically conductive with the electrical resistance proportional to the load on the sensor. Also disclosed herein are novel force/pressure sensors that include conductive polymer elements.

  • LOAD CELL
    Publication number: 20120118649
    Abstract: A load cell is presented that has a load cell housing defining an interior cavity. The load cell housing also defines an bore in a first exterior face. In another aspect, the load cell has a load member positioned within the interior cavity, where a load knob protrudes out of the bore and above the first exterior face. In one aspect, the load cell also has a first electrode and a second electrode positioned within the interior cavity. In another aspect, a conductive polymer element is positioned therebetween the first and second electrodes.
