Patent Images
1. A method of making a modular flexible sensor array comprising the steps of:
- applying at least one sensing element to a first substrate to form at least one sensor;
applying at least one electrically conductive interconnect to a surface of a second flexible substrate discrete from the first substrate; and
attaching the at least one sensor to the at least one electrically conductive interconnect such that the sensor is electrically connected thereto.

Abstract
The invention is directed to modular flexible sensor arrays that are adaptable, easy to manufacture, and which reduce material waste. A method of making a modular flexible sensor array is provided, including the steps of applying at least one sensing element to a first substrate to form at least one sensor, applying at least one electrically conductive interconnect to a surface of a second flexible substrate, and coupling the at least one sensor to the at least one electrically conductive interconnect such that the at least one sensor is electrically connected thereto.
