  • Publication number: 20240004099
    Abstract: A power generation sensor, generating electric power using a liquid, includes: a base; a positive electrode for power generation disposed in a first direction of the base and containing a first material; a negative electrode for power generation disposed in the first direction and containing a second material; a first connector electrode connected to a one-side end of the positive electrode in the first direction and to a sensor module; and a second connector electrode connected to a one-side end of the negative electrode in the first direction and to the sensor module. The first connector electrode contains the first material and has a larger width in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction than the positive electrode in the second direction. The second connector electrode contains the second material and has a larger width in the second direction than the negative electrode in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20230157903
    Abstract: Provided is a sensor having different sensitivities depending on the positions. A sensor 1 is a sensor for detecting the presence of a liquid, and includes a first electrode 11 and a second electrode 12. The first electrode and the second electrode each have a thread-like or band-like structure, and are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode includes a first portion 111 having a first surface area at a first position in the longitudinal direction, and includes a second portion 112 having a second surface area larger than the first surface area at a second position in the longitudinal direction different from the first position.
