  • Patent number: 12710290
    Abstract: An inductive position sensor is disclosed. The inductive position sensor can include a substrate having inductive sensing coils. The inductive sensing coils can be disposed on or at least partially embedded in the substrate. One or more processors can be configured to process an output signal and determine a distance based at least in part on the processed output signal electrically connected to the one or more inductive sensing coils. The processors can control and manage an input signal and an output signal. The one or more processors can be configured to determine a position of a target. The target can comprise an electrically conductive moving target configured for tracking an object for measuring a position of the target. The substrate can be a flexible substrate that is non-planar and conforms to a surface profile of the target.

  • Publication number: 20260210784
    Abstract: A pressure sensor can include a base formed from high-temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) material with an inner surface, a flexure plate formed from HTCC material and positioned over the surface of the base, with the flexure plate including an inner surface that faces the surface of the base and an outer surface, and a spacer having a thickness and implemented between the base and the flexure plate to define a space between the inner surfaces of the base and flexure plate. The pressure sensor can further include first and second electrodes implemented on the inner surfaces of the base and the flexure plate, respectively, to form a capacitor, such that flexing of the flexure plate due to pressure applied to the outer surface of the flexure plate results in a detectable change in capacitance of the capacitor.
