| 20100171583 | BI-DIRECTIONAL BEND RESISTOR - A system and method for a bi-directional bend resistor are disclosed. The bidirectional deflectable resistor has a variable resistance stack on a top surface of a substrate having a resistance that changes predictably when an electrical signal is applied thereto. The change of resistance of the variable resistance stack reflects an amount of deflection of the bi-directional bend resistor. The variable resistance stack allows for the measurement of deflection of the bi-directional bend resistor in all directions. | 07-08-2010 |
