Abstract: Certain pressure sensor devices are much smaller than prior art devices, yet are at least as sensitive as the prior art devices. A capacitive pressure sensor can include a flexible substrate that permits bending of a pressure sensing region without significantly affecting operation thereof. The pressure sensor can include a flexible membrane in which an electrode is sandwiched between two layers of polymeric material. The sandwiched electrode can be extremely close to a reference electrode so as to provide for highly sensitive capacitance readings, yet the membrane can be restricted from contacting the reference electrode under high pressure conditions.

Abstract: An electronic memory array includes a plurality of memory domains, a current controller, and a selector device. Each memory domain includes a plurality of bit cells. The current controller includes a current controller output electrically connectable to said plurality of memory domains and is configured to control a bit cell current.
