  • Laminated devices of elastic material suitable for dielectric elastomer sensing
    Patent number: 10228231
    Abstract: In one aspect the invention provides a laminated device of flexible and compliant layers of material, such as used to provide a dielectric elastomer sensor. A flexible and compliant layer of material is affixed to a substrate to avoid strain during processing is bonded to another layer of flexible and compliant material and released from the substrate to form a laminate. The layer of flexible and compliant material affixed to the substrate may be inspected prior to bonding.
    Type: Grant

  • ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SENSOR
    Publication number: 20170191819
    Abstract: In one aspect the invention provides an electrical sensor having an electrical capacitance which varies with mechanical deformation to allow instrumenting of deformation by a connected electric circuit, the sensor comprising conductive material separated by dielectric material and operable to deform and change in capacitance with deformation of the capacitor, the capacitor arranged to have a structure of a twisted plane wherein the capacitor is supported in that arrangement by support material.
