Fig. 94 wallsystem equipped with Geodetect<br />
(1) Leromur concrete cinder blocks (2) reinforced geotextile (3) Geodetect-strips (4) weatherproofed cable (5) mobile<br />
measuring device [176]<br />
The Geodetect fabric is used to monitor the deformation and absorbing behaviour of a bridge<br />
construction in Saint-Saturnin in France. Geodetect delivers data during the construction period and<br />
after completion of the installed wallsystem. The construction started in 2004 [176].<br />
2.3.5.2 Patents published<br />
The University of Stuttgart and the German Institutes for Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf<br />
patented a fibre comprising a glassfibre core surrounded by semiconductor layers (WO 02/37577).<br />
The fibre can be further processed into a textile structure and can be, for instance, used for the<br />
production of a textile switch.<br />
The company Tactex Controls, Inc., issued patents to protect its place as a designer and manufacturer<br />
of sensing products and to secure its innovations in the medical products field:<br />
US 6715359 ‘Pressure sensitive surface’<br />
A position sensor comprises a substrate having an array of pressure sensors and a membrane<br />
overlying the substrate. The membrane includes physical parameters which vary with position. The<br />
membrane may include discontinuous regions and protrusions which affect the way in which forces on<br />
the membrane are distributed to the substrate. A pressure sensor may also include a controller for<br />
receiving pressure information from the substrate, with a signal processor being programmed to<br />
localize the depressed region or regions of the substrate.<br />
US 6788295 Touch pad using a non-electrical deformable pressure sensor<br />
A touch pad for controlling electronic equipment includes a deformable touch surface and a<br />
compressible pad body in contact with the touch surface. The compressible body is formed from a<br />
