  • Rotational sensors including ionic liquids and methods of making and using the same
    Patent number: 10082391
    Abstract: Sensors for measuring rotation about an axis are disclosed, along with methods of making and using the same. The sensors can utilize ionic liquids and electrodes that provide a unique electrical signal at each angle of rotation about an axis. The sensors can include a solid structure with a channel that circumnavigates the axis, electrodes disposed within the channel, and an ionic liquid positioned within the channel.
    Type: Grant

  • Sensors Including Ionic Liquids and Methods of Making and Using the Same
    Publication number: 20160097641
    Abstract: A system and method for using a sensor includes a first anode and cathode pair having a first non-zero voltage therebetween and an ionic liquid contacting the first anode and cathode pair. An output is provided that communicates a motion sense signal corresponding to a motion or pressure of the sensor in at least one direction that causes a change in a first ionic concentration gradient between the first anode and cathode pair.
