First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-resistive contact sensor assembly, comprising:
- (a) a non-resistive contact sensor device;
(b) a first inner region of material in which the sensor device is surrounded or embedded;
(c) a boundary region, around the first inner region, that is at least partly comprised of a conducting material and that picks up electrical charge from the first inner region;
(d) a second inner region around the boundary region;
(e) an outer region around the second inner region; and
(f) at least one diode, disposed in the second inner region and connected between the boundary region through the second inner region to the outer region.
