  • Patent number: 11831272
    Abstract: A device includes a support structure having a plurality of concentric cuts through the support structure that define a set of structure sections. The device also includes an insert assembly supported by the support structure at an inner structure section of the set of structure sections. The inner structure section is configured to tilt the insert assembly at a tilt angle in accordance with a displacement of a first outer structure section of the set of structure sections.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220003577
    Abstract: A sensor device includes a substrate having a plurality of cuts through the substrate to define a set of substrate sections, the substrate being flexible, and a plurality of sensor structures supported by the substrate, each sensor structure of the plurality of sensor structures being disposed at a respective substrate section of the set of substrate sections. Deformation of the substrate deforms each respective substrate section of the set of substrate sections such that each respective substrate section is deformed to a respective extent. Each sensor structure of the plurality of sensor structures is configured to provide an indication of the respective extent of the deformation.
