    摘要: A sensor that includes a first film having a first main surface and a second main surface, the first film generating a charge according to a deformation amount of the first film; a first electrode on the first main surface; a second electrode on the second main surface; and a first fixing member and a second fixing member constructed to fix the first film, the first electrode, and the second electrode to an article. The first film is dimensioned to occupy an area equal to or more than half a peripheral surface of the article. The second electrode is located closer to the article than the first electrode. The first fixing member is separated from the second fixing member in an extending direction of the article.

    摘要: The invention involves providing a reset signal before and or after one or more actuation signals to an electroactive polymer structure of an actuator. The reset signal can cause relaxation of defects such as e.g. trapped charge, dipoles and/or others in the EAP or EAP structure so that upon a subsequent activation using a drive signal, the initial actuation state is defined to be more constant than without use of the reset signal. Hence the actuation 5 output of a device employing the invention is more reproducible. The invention is applicable to actuator devices that have an electroactive polymer structure including an EAP material, where the structure is capable of providing a mechanical actuation upon subjection of at least part of the EAP material to an electrical drive signal.
