Abstract: A transducer device includes a first dielectric layer, a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer that hold the first dielectric layer in a thickness direction, a second dielectric layer provided continuously from the first dielectric layer, a third electrode layer and a fourth electrode layer that hold the second dielectric layer in the thickness direction, and a controller. The controller calculates a command value of voltage to be applied to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer and applies a voltage corresponding to the command value to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer so that the first dielectric layer is deformed in the thickness direction. The controller measures a capacitance Cs of the second dielectric layer via the third electrode layer and the fourth electrode layer and calculates the command value in reference to the measured capacitance Cs.

Abstract: Apparatus (22) for processing signals from a touch panel (10) is described. The touch panel (10) includes a layer of piezoelectric material (16) disposed between a plurality of sensing electrodes (14, 20) and at least one common electrode (15). The apparatus (22) includes a first circuit (23) for connection to the plurality of sensing electrodes (14, 20). The first circuit (23) is configured to generate a plurality of first pressure signals (29). Each first pressure signal (29) corresponds to one or more sensing electrodes (14, 20) and is indicative of a pressure acting on the touch panel (10) proximate to the corresponding one or more sensing electrodes (14, 20). The apparatus (22) also includes a second circuit (24) for connection to the at least one common electrode (15). The second circuit (24) is configured to generate a second pressure signal (30) indicative of a total pressure applied to the touch panel (10). The apparatus (22) also includes a controller (25) configured to determine an external interference signal (32) based on a weighted sum over the second pressure signal (30) and the plurality of first pressure signals (29). The controller (25) is also configured to compare the external interference signal (32) against a pre-calibrated threshold (Vthresh). The controller is also configured, in response to the external interference signal (32) being greater than or equal to the pre-calibrated threshold (Vthresh), to output an interference flag (Intflag) indicating that the first and second pressure signals (29, 30) are influenced by coupling to one or more external electrical fields.

Abstract: Sensor assemblies comprise a sensor die including a first member and a second member. The first member comprises a diaphragm extending between opposed surfaces of the first member. A number of electrical sensing elements are disposed within the first member and positioned adjacent the diaphragm along a first member surface. The second member is attached with the first member along surface comprising the electrical sensing elements. The second member has a recessed section forming cavity with the first member to accommodate deflection of the diaphragm. The first member includes an actuation element that extends outwardly from a surface and that is positioned directly on the diaphragm. The sensor assembly includes metallic connectors and contacts for facilitating connection between the electrical sensing elements and an outer surface of the sensor die to provide a surface mount electrical connection of the sensor assembly.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a sensor. In particular, the present invention is related to a MEMS strain gauge die and its fabrication process. The MEMS strain gauge die comprises a handle, a device layer and a cap all connected together. A silicon oxide layer is formed between the handle and the device layer. Another silicon oxide layer is formed between the device layer and the cap. Recesses are respectively formed on the handle and the cap and face each other. The handle recess and the cap recess are connected to form a cavity. The device layer, which spans the cavity, further comprises a bridge on which a plurality of piezoresistive sensing elements are formed. The present strain gauge die is more immune to temperature effects. It is especially suitable for operating in a high temperature environment and is capable of delivering accurate and reliable strain measurements at low cost.

Abstract: A stress sensing system for measuring stress in a conductive target material includes at least one sensor positioned proximate to the conductive target material. The sensor is configured to measure stress in the conductive target material and to transmit a signal indicative of the measured stress to a controller. The controller is coupled in communication with the sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal from the sensor, determine a runout portion of the signal corresponding to the runout of the conductive target material, determine a runout pattern waveform from the runout portion, and subtract the runout pattern waveform from the signal.
