    Abstract: A tactile sensor element is disclosed comprising a first pressure transfer layer and a second pressure transfer layer, an elastomeric body arranged between the first and second pressure transfer layers, the body having a first and a second surface opposed to each other, the first and second surfaces having corrugations to allow displacement of elastomeric body material in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the corrugations when exposed to a contact pressure on at least one of the surfaces, a first electrode arranged on the first surface and the second electrode arranged on the second surface, the first and the second electrodes being connectable to external means for determining the capacitance of a capacitor formed by the elastomeric body and the electrodes, where at least one pressure transfer layer has at least one portion of increased thickness. Further disclosed is a tactile sensor array comprising a plurality of sensor elements according to any of the above claims, wherein the sensor elements are arranged in a row and column configuration for the determination of local pressure variations over the surface area of the sensor array, and wherein the plurality of sensor elements being integrally formed in a common elastomeric body member.

    Abstract: On décrit un dispositif d'actionnement miniature (1) comprenant un support (13), une membrane (11), un espace creux (15) ménagé entre le support (13) et la membrane (11) et une couche isolante (12) placée entre eux, ainsi que deux bornes à électrodes (16, 17) produisant un champ électrostatique entre la membrane et le support afin d'engendrer un état activé. S'agissant d'un dispositif d'actionnement de ce type, il est souhaitable que l'amplitude obtenue sous l'effet du champ électrostatique soit rendue aussi large que possible. A cette fin, l'espace creux est présent uniquement lorsque le dispositif se trouve à l'état inactivé, et disparaît virtuellement lorsque le dispositif est activé.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to transducers for converting the spatial position of an object into an electrical signal, more specific to a novel position sensor which has advantages of simplicity, long-term stability and durability. According to the invention, a position sensor comprises at least one body of an elastomeric material, mounting means for mounting a first part of the body to a support, and movable means joined to a second part of the body at a distance from the first part, the movable means being movable to stretch a third part of the body located between the mounting means and the movable means. The sensor has opposed first and second surfaces on the third part, a first electrode on the first surface, and a second electrode on the second surface.

    Abstract: This invention relates to an elastic bandage for supporting a body extremity such as a leg. Such bandages are used to overcome problems with fluid retention and swelling in the legs, occurring as a consequence of varicose veins, vascular incompetence, pregnancy, etc. It is a task of this invention to supply an active support for a body extremity such as a leg, which can be used by a person underneath the clothes and will not reduce the mobility of the patient. This task is solved in that an elastic bandage comprises an elastic layer for surrounding a body extremity to exert compressive force on the extremity, the bandage being, at least partly, formed by elastomeric actuation elements, whereby electrical control of the compressive force is possible, and where the control is due to a signal from some sensing system.

    Abstract: This invention relates to control valves for controlling of fluid flow, where the flow-controlling element in the valve body is of an elastomeric material. The control valve has only one flow-controlling element, which element fulfils all functions of the valve, meaning non-return function, flow-restriction function and/or controlling function.
