The company behind the High-Temperature FlexiForce flexible piezoresistive force sensors, Tekscan, was founded in 1987 to produce matrix, or array, sensors that are widely used in medical and dental ...

(A) The structure of a CNT. (B) A typical structure of 2D materials. (C) The unique structure of a silicon nanoladder. Due to limitations in the performance of traditional materials, force sensors ...

Peratech, a world leader in force-sensing technology, has been selected to participate in the Innovation Zone (I-Zone) at SID Display Week 2017. The I-Zone showcases cutting-edge demos and prototypes ...

What prosthetic limbs can do these days is nothing short of miraculous, and can change the life of an amputee in so many ways. But no matter what advanced sensors and actuators are added to the ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

Scientists have developed a transistor-type active-matrix pressure sensor using foldable substrate and air-dielectric layer. A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has created a three-dimensional, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

As electronics replace legacy hydraulic components in brake-by-wire systems, different sensing technologies are needed for brake pedal sensing. Sensata’s Brake Pedal Force sensor for electromechanical ...
