Abstract: A sensor including a layer having viscoelastic properties, the layer comprising a void, the void filled with a fluid; and optionally, a more rigid sensing element embedded within the layer. When a force is applied to a surface of the sensor, the shape of the void changes, causing the electrical resistance of the fluid in the void to change. When included, the more rigid sensing element can bear upon the void to cause the electrical resistance of the fluid in the void to change. A direction and intensity of the force can be determined by measuring the change of the electrical resistance of different voids positioned about the sensing element. The layer can be an elastomer, preferably silicone rubber. The fluid can be a conductive liquid, preferably Eutectic Gallium Indium. The sensing element can be plastic and can have a “Joystick” shape. The voids can take the form of channels or microchannels having a predefined pattern and/or shape.

Abstract: An outer panel and an inner panel of a vehicle door form a closed sealing chamber. A pressure sensor is attached to the inner panel to detect a pressure within the closed sealing chamber. The pressure sensor detects an increase in pressure caused by constriction of the closed sealing chamber when a collision occurs to a vehicle door. The in-vehicle speaker supplies a sound wave into the closed sealing chamber and detects, as an inspection pressure, a pressure in the closed sealing chamber when the sound wave is supplied. In an initial state of a vehicle, the inspection pressure is compared with an initial pressure threshold value, which is set based on a pressure in the closed sealing chamber generated when the sound wave is supplied. When the inspection pressure is equal to or lower than the initial pressure threshold value, it is detected that the air-tightness of the closed sealing chamber is lowered.

Abstract: A tactile sensor includes a pressure transducer encapsulated in an elastic material that defines a contact surface and provides a transmission path that transmits contact forces or pressure distributions applied to the contact surface to the pressure transducer. The pressure transducer can be enclosed in a protective housing that defines a chamber around the transducer. The housing can include one or more openings that expose the chamber to the exterior pressure. The tactile sensor can be made by applying the elastic material in liquid form and exposing the housing to a vacuum that removes air inside the chamber allowing the liquid elastic material to flow into the chamber. Once cured, the elastic material defines a contact surface of the tactile sensor and serves to transfer contact forces applied to the contact surface to the transducer.
