BODY SURFACE SENSORS

摘要

A device for sensing lung sounds, comprising: a piezoelectric sensor comprising an electrical conductive plate attached to a piezoelectric material, said sensor encased in a body structure; a first electric wire connected to the piezoelectric material on the opposite side of said plate; a second electric wire connected to said plate; a connector connected to the other ends of said first and second electric wires; and an adhesive layer connected to the surface of said plate on the side opposite to the piezoelectric material, said adhesive layer facing away from said plate; said device adapted to provide electrical signals representing vibrations present on the surface of a object when it is attached to said object surface with said adhesive layer; said electrical signals resulting from vibrations on the object surface, wherein stress applied on the piezoelectric material generates electrical voltage-difference on both sides of the piezoelectric material, creating voltage build-up on said first and second electric wires.
