Patent

CA 2163045

A capacitance transducer for use in measuring loads is provided herein. It comprises a first electrode and a second electrode having overlapping surface areas spaced apart by a first solid or rigid dielectric and a second fluid dielectric. The first and second electrodes are so oriented that increasing force which is applied to the transducer resiliently presses an increasing portion of overlapping surface areas of the first and second electrodes into close proximity separated by the first dielectric while substantially removing the second dielectric from the areas of close proximity. This causes a capacitance response that depends significantly on the size of areas which are pressed together relative to any capacitance response resulting from a change in the spacing of the electrodes.
