Conformal sensor tape
First Claim
1. A sensing device, comprising:
- at least two remote sensing units mounted on an attachable tape, the remote sensing units being mounted on separate branches of the attachable tape, wherein the tape is an attachable, flexible substrate upon which the remote units and other electrical components reside, strips of which form the branches;
a controller mounted on the attachable tape such that each branch is defined by a regions of the tape between the controller and a remote sensing unit;
electrical connections at least between each remote sensing unit and the controller, the electrical connections on the attachable tape; and
a surface to which the tape is attached such that the branches are separated from each other.

Abstract
A sensing device has at least two remote units mounted on an attachable tape, the remote units being mounted on separate branches of the attachable tape, a controller mounted on the attachable tape, electrical connections at least between each remote unit and the controller, the electrical connections on the attachable tape, and a surface to which the tape is attached such that the branches are separated from each other. A method of manufacturing a sensing device, including providing an attachable substrate, and fabricating electronic devices on the substrate, the electronic devices including at least two remote units, a controller and electrical connections between the remote units and the controller, and arranging the electronic devices such that at least two remote units are separated from each other.
