  • Elastomer-based capacitive control and operating element
    Patent number: 10727832
    Abstract: A control and operating element has at least one dielectric elastomer sensor in which at least two electrode layers, between which a capacitance can be measured, are separated from one another by an at least partially elastomeric dielectric. The sensor has a preset position and can, due to a deformation of elastomeric components, adopt one or more working positions in which the capacitance is changed with respect to the preset position and which is/are reached due to application of an external force. The control and operating element further has a triggering mechanism which can trigger an event that is associated with a reached working position.
    Type: Grant
