An FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor is equipped with a plurality of stress detection sensors made up from optical fibers in which gratings that reflect light of a specified wavelength are arrayed, and a stress direction converter that converts stresses applied from the exterior into stresses of a direction in which the gratings are arrayed, and which transmits the stresses to each of the gratings. Consequently, the stress direction converter can transmit stresses, which are applied from a body, to a plurality of gratings.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for indicating applied manipulation pressure are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for indicating applied manipulation pressure includes affixing a pressure sensitive material to a coupling component. The pressure sensitive material is capable of displaying visual indications that correspond to different levels of applied manipulation force. A manipulation force is applied to the component. Subsequently, the pressure sensitive material displays the visual indications. In a specific implementation, the method also includes stopping the application of manipulation force when one of the visual indications is displayed.

Abstract:
A measuring device (10) is used for generating an imprint of a patient's foot. The imprint includes a first set of at least two differentiable color density markings. The first set of differentiable density markings each correspond to a different pressure exerted on the measuring device by different areas of the patient's foot. A calibration card (50) is provided with an indicia including a set of at least two differentiable density markings. Each differentiable density marking in the second set of differentiable density markings on the calibration card has a viewing opening (56) disposed within, such that when the viewing openings in the calibration card are placed over the imprint of the patient's foot, the first set of different density markings from the imprint are viewable through the viewing openings so that they are readably comparable to the second set of differentiable density markings in the indicia on the calibration card.
