System and Method for Fluid Sensing

摘要

A system and method for moisture sensing and methods for making and using same. The present disclosure describes a fluid sensing array that comprises a first and second set of conducting lines with a fluid layer disposed between the first and second set of conducting lines. Proximate intersections of the sets of conducting lines define a plurality of sensing regions. Reading the plurality of sensing regions may provide for calculating a value for fluid volume present, a value for surface area where fluid is present, or a determination of the identity, class or a characteristic of a fluid present.

1. A moisture sensing array comprising:
a first set of spaced apart and substantially parallel conducting lines extending in a first direction; a second set of spaced apart and substantially parallel conducting lines extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, each of the conducting lines of first set disposed proximate to each of the conducing lines of the second set at a sensing region, and defining a sensing array comprising a plurality of sensing regions; and a fluid layer disposed between the first and second set of conducting lines at each of the plurality of sensing regions.
