6 Phases of Sensor Integration Blog Series This article is the third in a series following one design team’s experience in designing FlexiForce sensors into a medical device to detect occlusion within the pump mechanism. When embedding components like force sensors, following an established...

For designers and engineers, the measures taken early in the sensor integration process can make a significant impact in the later design phases. While some embedded components companies provide collateral and documentation validating sensor performance, always keep in mind that every application is...

FlexiForce sensors are a design-engineer-friendly embedded technology due in large part to their thin and flexible form factors. This allows them to be embedded into tight space constraints that can be challenging for other force-sensing technologies. Naturally, when embedding FlexiForce sensors...

Fighting Back with the Power of Fun The story of a proactive father and his creative inventions that train his son to persist through the challenges of cerebral palsy. Meet Julian Nine years ago, Marc Gunderson’s son Julian was born three months prematurely, weighing just 1 kg (2.2 lbs) at birth...

This is the second of a two-part Tactile Touchpoints blog series summarizing the findings from a survey submitted to 373 members of the global design engineering community. The goal of the survey was to better understand what was most important to design engineers when selecting a supplier of...

The following is an independent 3rd-party study of High-Temperature FlexiForce sensor performance in their most extreme durability test to date. The complete citation can be found at the end of this article. FlexiForce™ sensors have shown the ability to maintain linearity and performance after over...

Here's another question we frequently receive from our customers - what is the recommended circuit to drive a FlexiForce™ sensor in an embedded design? If you've browsed our standard FlexiForce sensors recently, you’ll notice that we recommend an Inverting Op Amp circuit. However, it is possible to...

In the summer of 2018, we submitted a survey to 373 members of the global design engineering community to understand what was most important when selecting a supplier of embedded components. We will be sharing our key findings over a two-part Tactile Touchpoints article series. Question: Rank these...

Didn't make it out to Sensors Expo this year? Our CTO Rob Podoloff was interviewed by Embedded Computing Design at our booth, sharing the basics behind Tekscan and FlexiForce technology, and observations on market trends. Check out the short video below: Visit this page for more upcoming events...

Whether it’s an intruder entering a facility after hours, or items in storage mysteriously disappearing over time, these measurable force exchanges can be an indication of foul play. It takes a minimally-invasive force-sensing technology to create a unique security system that can measure these...
