20100062148 | Electrically Responsive Composite Material, a Method of Manufacture and a Transducer Produced Using Said Material - An electrically responsive composite material is disclosed, along with a method of producing an electrically responsive composite material, a transducer having a substrate for supporting a flowable polymer liquid and a method of fabricating a transducer. The electrically responsive composite material produced is configurable for application in a transducer. The method includes the steps of receiving the flowable polymer liquid and introducing electrically conductive acicular particles ( | 03-11-2010 |
20120074966 | Detector Responsive to Interactions of Varying Intensity - A detector comprising control circuitry and a sensor, responsive to interactions of varying intensities, comprising three layers. The first layer includes a first set of mutually connected electrically conducting elements and a second set of mutually connected electrically conducting elements. The third layer comprises an electrically conducting plane, and the second layer extends between the first and third layers. The electrical conductivity of the second layer varies in accordance with variations in the intensity of the interactions. In a first mode, the control circuit applies voltage between the first and third layers to generate a first current through the second layer, and provides a measurement of the first current. In a second mode, the control circuit applies voltage between the first and second sets of electrically conducting elements to generate a second current through the second layer, and provides a measurement of the second current. | 03-29-2012 |
20120074970 | Resistance Changing Sensor - A sensor configured to experience resistance changes in response to an external interaction is disclosed. The sensor comprises a first layer of a conductive material having a first electrode connected thereto; a second intermediate layer of a material having a resistance sensitive to said external interaction; and a third layer consisting of a first set of fingers interdigitated with a second set of fingers. The first set of fingers has a second electrode attached thereto whilst the second set of fingers has a third electrode attached thereto. The second layer comprises a layer formed of a quantum tunnelling composite. | 03-29-2012 |
