SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295514 titled 'SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM
The sensor described in the patent application includes a first element section with a first base and a first element. The first element consists of a first fixed member, a first connecting member, and a first film portion with a first resistance layer, a first conductive layer, and a first conductive member.
- The first fixed member is attached to the first base, supporting the first connecting member, which in turn supports the first film portion.
- A first gap exists between the first base and the first film portion.
- The first conductive member between the first resistance layer and the first conductive layer has a fixed potential.
- The first electrical resistance of the first resistance layer changes based on the state of a detection target around the first element.
Potential Applications: - This sensor technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and medical devices. - It can be applied in touchscreens, pressure sensors, and proximity sensors.
Problems Solved: - Provides accurate detection of the state of a target. - Offers a reliable and durable sensor solution.
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in detecting changes in the detection target. - Enhanced durability and reliability in sensor performance.
Commercial Applications: - This sensor technology can be utilized in the development of advanced touchscreens, smart devices, and medical equipment, potentially leading to new market opportunities and product innovations.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the fixed potential of the first conductive member contribute to the sensor's performance?
The fixed potential ensures consistent and reliable measurements by stabilizing the electrical properties of the sensor.
2. What are the key advantages of using a first resistance layer that changes based on the detection target's state?
The ability of the resistance layer to adapt to different states of the detection target allows for versatile and precise sensing capabilities.
