    Abstract: Pressure-sensor based arrays are integrated into a control device that detects the position, motion, or movement of a one or more body parts of a user to recognize and translate the motion into a unique user-motion profile. The user motion profile may be independently analyzed or recognized as a discrete motion or gesture and used as input or commands for the control device itself or as a signal or set of signals that yields an output signal to a companion device. The pressure sensors can be attached to any body part of a user, such as the user's wrist or ankle. Motion or position, or changes therein, of the user generates an output signal that may be used to control a companion device. The source of the detectable signal is the pressure-based sensor array that yields a pressure data profile that is translated into an output signal to control the companion device.

    Abstract: A microfluidic electronic device is disclosed. This microfluidic electronic device may include a separate actuator mechanism from a microfluidic cartridge. The microfluidic cartridge may include a fluid reservoir coupled to a nozzle by a channel, where the fluid reservoir holds a fluid with a solvent and a material in solution, and the microfluidic cartridge may be remateably coupled to the microfluidic electronic device. During operation of the microfluidic electronic device, the microfluidic cartridge supplies fluid to the nozzle via the channel, and the actuator mechanism drives droplets from the nozzle without contact between the actuator mechanism and the fluid. Furthermore, the droplets may be driven from the nozzle onto a substrate without contact between the substrate and the nozzle, and a positioning mechanism in the microfluidic electronic device may accurately position the nozzle relative to the substrate.

    Abstract: A pressure sensing apparatus which utilizes an electrolytic droplet retained between a first and second sensing electrode within a housing. Contact between the electrolyte droplet and the electrodes form electric double layers (EDL) having interfacial EDL capacitance proportional to interface contact area which varies in response to mechanical pressure applied to deform exterior portions of the housing. The electrolyte contains a sufficient percentage of glycerol to prevent evaporative effects. Preferably, the sensing electrodes are modified with depressions, hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic portions to increase central anchoring of the electrolyte droplet within the housing. The inventive pressure sensor provides high sensitivity and resolution which is beneficial to numerous applications, and is particularly well-suited for medical sensing applications.
