Optimization of the Discrete Structure in a Pressure Sensor Based on a Multiple-Contact Mechanism to Improve Sensitivity and Nonlinearity

Pressure sensors based on discrete structure and multiple-contact mechanism (DSMM) have enabled high sensitivity and a wide range of nonlinear measurements in our previous work. In this work, we increased the density of the resistor array pixels and designed pixel patterns with varied separation distances to improve the sensing range and correct the sensing linearity, while maintaining the ultrahi...
