    Abstract: A system for monitoring a structure is built on a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted at the surface of the structure. A piece of single crystal silicon is mounted on the PCB and is in contact with the structure. An infrared source directly illuminates the silicon while an infrared detector is focused thereon to monitor isochromatic fringe patterns projected from the silicon as a direct indication of stress at the surface. One or more other sensors are coupled to the PCB for collecting data indicative of other physical conditions experienced by the structure. A wireless system communicates with each such sensor so that the data so collected can be received at a remote location.

    Abstract: A force and torque converter provides an electronic signal in response to at least one of an applied force and an applied torque. The converter includes a base, a movable member that provides movement relative to the base in response to the at least one of the applied force and the applied torque, a controlling mechanism, and a detection circuit. The controlling mechanism has a plurality of resilient mechanisms, connected to the base and co-acting with the movable member, that provide at least one of a restoring force and a restoring torque to the movable member in response to the at least one of the applied force and the applied torque. The controlling mechanism further includes a restraining member, disposed within the movable member, that restrains the movable member when the movable member is in contact with the restraining member. The detection circuit co-acts with the controlling mechanism, to detect the movement of the movable member relative to the base, and provide the electronic signal.

    Abstract: There is provided a sensor device to detect a force sense with a smaller and simpler mechanism. The sensor device includes: a force acting portion exposed from an opening provided on an exterior portion and attached to an inside of the exterior portion via a flexible body; a reflection space of which at least two surfaces are surrounded by a first mirror provided on an inner bottom surface of the exterior portion and a second mirror provided on a surface of the force acting portion or flexible body, the surface facing the first mirror; and a light source unit configured to emit light to the reflection space; and an imaging unit provided on the inner bottom surface of the exterior portion and configured to capture an image including a force sense detection region in which reflection light of the light emitted from the light source unit is seen.
