  • Force measurement sensor integrated on silicon, and a method of manufacture
    Patent number: 4873868
    Abstract: A mechanical magnitude sensor integrated on silicon, and a method of manufacture. The sensor comprises a bendably deformable conductive blade (4) whose free end (43) constitutes the first plate of a variable capacitor whose fixed second plate (24) is constituted by a conductive zone formed on the silicon substrate. A JFET type structure is formed in the vicinity of the anchor point (41) of the blade (4) with a gate zone (21) situated beneath the anchor portion (41) and with drain and source zones (22, 23) being provided on either side of the gate zone (21) in order to amplify a signal representative of variations in the position of the flexible blade (4). The sensor may be used as an accelerometer or as a pressure sensor.

  • Physical training apparatus
    Patent number: 3989241
    Abstract: A physical training apparatus comprising a vertical column and two sleeves mounted on the column adjustable in height. One of the sleeves supports a fixed hanger and the other sleeve supports a swing-bar which can rotate through 360.degree. and carries a handle. A brake increases the resistance of the apparatus to the user, said resistance being already adjusted by resilient elements placed between the fixed hanger and the swing-bar.
