A sensor interface is disclosed including a flexible substrate in which are embeddedsensors for measuring physical parameters such as temperature, displacement,velocity, acceleration, stress, strain, pressure and force present betweenobjects such as a railcar bearing and a truck side frame. The substrate is positionedbetween the objects of interest Electronic components such as a data processingunit, a data storage device, a communication device and a power source may alsobe embedded within the substrate. The electronic devices communicate with oneanother and the sensors to process signals generated by the sensors indicativeof the parameters being measured. |
