Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible, resilient capacitive sensor suitable for large-scale manufacturing. The sensor comprises a dielectric, an electrically conductive layer on the first side of the dielectric layer, an electrically conductive layer on a second side of the dielectric layer, and a capacitance meter electrically connected to the two conductive layers to detect changes in capacitance upon application of a force to the detector. The conductive layers are configured to determine the position of the applied force. The sensor may be shielded to reduce the effects of outside interference.

Abstract: Apparatus for the application of liquids to moving material, such as patterned application of dyes to moving textile material, which employs dye applicator gun bars to direct a plurality of streams of dye onto the moving material, means for deflecting certain of the streams of dye in a predetermined sequence to impart a pattern to the material, collection means for receiving the deflected dye and air deflector means operably associated with an air foil means in the collection means at a position above the collector plates of the collection means and extending downwardly toward the collector plates into a portion of an expanded air zone created by the expansion of air emitted from the deflecting means, the air deflector means extending into the expanded air zone forming an acute angle with an imaginary plane passing the end portion of the upper most collection plate, the imaginary plane being that plane substantially parallel to the liquid discharge axes of the plurality of streams of dye.
