  • Publication number: 20230271361
    Abstract: In a first step, a circuit sheet is set such that a first region of a second main surface of the circuit sheet is in contact with a plateau portion of a first mold and a second region is not in contact with the first mold. In the first step, a first fixed portion of the circuit sheet is arranged on a first portion of the first mold, and a second fixed portion is arranged on a second portion of the first mold. The first portion is a portion that is higher than the plateau portion and runs along at least one of a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion provided along the plateau portion. The second portion is a portion where the first protruding portion or the second protruding portion is not provided along the plateau portion.

  • Publication number: 20230258511
    Abstract: A load sensor includes: a first base member and a second base member disposed so as to face each other; an electrically-conductive elastic body disposed on an opposing face of the first base member; a wire member that is electrically conductive and disposed between the second base member and the electrically-conductive elastic body; and a dielectric body disposed between the electrically-conductive elastic body and the wire member. A permittivity of the dielectric body is changed in a contact surface direction in which contact of the dielectric body advances in association with increase in a load, such that a form of change in capacitance between the electrically-conductive elastic body and the wire member associated with change in the load becomes close to that of a straight line.
