  • Systems and methods for strain sensing using aerosol jet printing of flexible capacitive strain gauges
    Patent number: 10512162
    Abstract: A device may include a flexible substrate. The device may further include a flexible integrated circuit within the flexible substrate, the integrated circuit having at least one input electrode positioned on a surface of the flexible substrate. The device may also include an aerosol jet printed conductive ink layer disposed on the surface of the flexible substrate, the aerosol-jet printed conductive ink layer having a pattern that includes a first set of fingers interdigitated with a second set of fingers, the aerosol jet printed conductive ink layer in contact with the at least one input electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AND USING A COMPETITIVE MEDIA SITE
    Publication number: 20130150989
    Abstract: A system and method for enabling networked computer users to manage and use a competitive media site is disclosed. A particular embodiment includes receiving a first and second content item from one or more content sources via a network; using a processor to initiate a competition in which users can submit ratings in support of either the first or the second content item; designating either the first or the second content item as a winning content item of the competition based on the user submitted ratings; and awarding points to winners of the competition, the winners including users who submitted ratings in support of the winning content item.
