SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457555 titled 'SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes an element section with a first base and a first element. The first element consists of a first fixed member fixed to the first base, a first connecting member supported by the first fixed member, and a first film portion supported by the first connecting member. A first gap is present between the first base and the first film portion. The first film portion comprises a first resistance layer, a first conductive layer, and a first conductive member positioned between the first resistance layer and the first conductive layer. The first conductive member's potential is fixed, and the first resistance layer's resistance changes based on the state of a detection target around the first element.
