    Abstract: A sensor may include a deformable sensing element having a deformable conductor arranged to deform in response to deformation of the sensing element, wherein the deformation of the sensing element is selectively controlled. The sensing element may be selectively controlled by a restraining element. The restraining element may control the deformation of the sensing element by distributing forces applied to the sensing element. The sensing element may include a deformable body with the deformable conductor arranged to respond to elongation of the deformable body. The deformable conductor may include a conductive gel. A sensor may include a deformable body, a deformable conductor arranged to deform in response to deformation of the deformable body, and a restraining element arranged to selectively control the deformation of the deformable body.

    Abstract: A method may include providing a fluid material, solidifying the fluid material, providing a substrate, and depositing the solidified fluid material on the substrate. Providing the fluid material may include providing a mold, and filling the mold with the fluid material. Solidifying the fluid material may include solidifying the fluid material in a mold, and removing the solidified fluid material from the mold. Providing the substrate may include preparing the substrate for deposition of the solidified fluid material, and adjusting the temperature of the substrate. Depositing the solidified fluid material on the substrate may include fixturing the substrate, and loading the solidified fluid material in a deposition tool. The fluid material may include a liquid phase component, and a solid phase component. The solid phase component may include particles suspended in the liquid phase component. The liquid phase component may include a gallium alloy.

    Abstract: A structure may include a first material, a second material joined to the first material at a junction between the first and second materials, and one or more media extending across the junction to form a continuous interconnect between the first and second materials, wherein the first and second materials are heterogeneous. The structure may further include a transition at the junction between the first and second materials. The one or more media may include a functional material which may be electrically conductive. The structure may further include a third material joined to the second material at a second junction between the second and third materials, the media may extend across the second junction to form a continuous interconnect between the first, second, and third materials, and the second and third materials may be heterogeneous.
