摘要:
A controller for sensing deformation including a sensor structure having a deformable conductor and another conductor (which may also be deformable). The deformable conductor may be made out of a flexible non-fluid material (e.g., rubber) or a conductive fluid. The deformable conductor may be deformed by the deformation of the sensor structure or by other forces. The sensor comprises circuitry to drive and sense signals on interacting pairs of conductors (the deformable conductor or the other conductor can act as the drive side, or as the sense side). Sense signals are processed to analyze deformation of the deformable conductor, and deformation of the sensor structure. Where the sensor is deployed proximate to human skin, deformation and changes in deformation may be used to correlate or infer a body position, movement or pose.

A target detection assembly includes a detection member adapted to generate a first input signal, and an emulator module is removably secured to the detection member. The emulator module includes an emulator housing assembly removably secured to the detection member and a selection portion is disposed on the emulator housing assembly. The selection portion is configured to be oriented in a first and second selection mode. In the first selection mode, a first emulation circuit disposed within the emulator housing assembly receives the first input signal, processes the first input signal, and outputs a first output signal that is different than the first input signal. In the second selection mode, a second emulation circuit disposed within the emulator housing assembly receives the first input signal, processes the first input signal, and outputs a second output signal that is different than the first input signal and the first output signal.

A position detection system for locating an object including a resonator comprises an array of parallel conductors responsive to a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator, and a plurality of receivers each associated with a parallel conductor. In one embodiment, the array of parallel conductors is provided with sinusoidally varying spacing and driven with sinusoidally varying current. In another embodiment, the array of parallel conductors is provided with constant spacing, and the receivers are configured with gain factors to produce reception similar to reception by sinusoidally spaced conductors. A method of detecting position of an object including a resonator comprises providing an array of parallel conductors, providing a plurality of receivers, and associating each of the receivers with a parallel conductor.

A system and method for detecting the position of an object are disclosed. A position detection system for locating an object including a resonator comprises an array of parallel conductors responsive to the magnetic field from the resonator, and a plurality of receivers each associated with a parallel conductor. The array of parallel conductors is configured to locate the object along a measurement path. The array of parallel conductors is orthogonal to the measurement path. The system further comprises a plurality of drivers each associated with a parallel conductor and configured to drive current through to produce an energizing field. The array of parallel conductors is provided with sinusoidally varying spacing and driven with sinusoidally varying current. In another embodiment, the array of parallel conductors is provided with constant spacing, and the receivers are configured with gain factors to produce reception similar to reception by sinusoidally spaced conductors. The array of parallel conductors may be driven with three-phase currents to eliminate stationary null points in the energizing field along the lengths of the parallel conductors. A method of detecting position of an object including a resonator comprises providing an array of parallel conductors, providing a plurality of receivers, and associating each of the receivers with a parallel conductor.
