  • Patent number: 8539844
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a measurement apparatus for measuring a material property. The method includes steps of (a) providing a pressure sensing component having a first and a second surfaces; (b) disposing a first and a second electrodes on the first surface; and (c) disposing an elastic member having a first and a second portions on the first surface, wherein the first and the second portions of the elastic material have different values of an elastic coefficient, and cover the first and the second electrodes, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8421311
    Abstract: A flexible piezoelectric tactile sensor having a piezoelectric thin film, a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, and at least one elastic body is revealed. The piezoelectric thin film includes an upper surface and a lower surface while the first flexible substrate is disposed on the upper surface of the piezoelectric thin film. The first flexible substrate consists of a first surface facing the upper surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a plurality of first electrodes formed on the first surface. The second flexible substrate, including a third surface facing the lower surface and a plurality of second electrodes formed on the third surface, is arranged on the lower surface of the piezoelectric thin film. Both the first electrodes and the second electrode are electrically connected with the piezoelectric thin film. The elastic body is set on the second surface, corresponding to the first electrodes.
