CAPACITIVE MICROSYSTEM FOR RECORDING MECHANICAL DEFORMATIONS, USE AND OPERATING METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a capacitive microsystem (17), which can be used to replace conventional strain gauges used currently. The microsystem has substantial advantages with regard to handling, overload stability and endurance. Capacitive microsystems of this type can be used to record deformations and to calculate forces, torque etc. They can be used in particular to determine the weight of vehicle seats, to provide for example deployment data for an airbag.
