    Abstract: A capacitive sensor having a first and a second polymeric conductor are embedded within a non conducting body, wherein the body maintains a fixed separation distance between the first and the second polymeric conductor. The body can include a non conducting web, wherein the web substantially precludes variation in the spacing of the polymeric conductors during use in the intended operating environment.

    Abstract: An electrode layer is formed on the upper surface of a first substrate, and a processing for partially removing the substrate is carried out in order to allow the substrate to have flexibility. To the lower surface of the first substrate, a second substrate is connected. Then, by cutting the second substrate, a working body and a pedestal are formed. On the other hand, a groove is formed on a third substrate. An electrode layer is formed on the bottom surface of the groove. The third substrate is connected to the first substrate so that both the electrodes face to each other with a predetermined spacing therebetween. Finally, the first, second and third substrates are cut off every respective unit regions to form independent sensors, respectively. When an acceleration is exerted on the working body, the first substrate bends. As a result, the distance between both the electrodes changes. Thus, an acceleration exerted is detected by changes in an electrostatic capacitance between both the electrodes.

    Abstract: In a capacitance type sensor of the present invention, a capacitance element is constituted between a displacement electrode and a capacitance element electrode. A return-switch movable electrode is arranged above and spaced from the displacement electrode, to be placed in contact with the displaying electrode due to a displacement of a direction button. When the direction button is operated, the return-switch movable electrode is first displaced into contact with the displacement electrode. Then, the both make a displacement while keeping a contact state. When the displacement electrode is displaced to change the spacing to the capacitance element electrode, changed is the capacitance value of the capacitance element. Based on this change, a force is recognized. Herein, in the course of a transit from a state the displacement electrode and the return-switch electrode are not in contact to a state of their contact, the output signal varies necessarily beyond a threshold voltage.

    Abstract: An oven using one or more quartz halogen tungsten lamps or quartz arc bulbs capable of producing radiant energy of which a significant portion is in the visible light range of the electromagnetic spectrum to pop popcorn whereby visible and near visible radiation directly impinges onto corn kernels. Radiation sources can be positioned around the corn kernels and the inner walls of the oven are preferably highly reflective to reflect light energy onto the kernels. The kernels travel down a tube shaped cooking chamber by a forced air stream. When the corn pops, the highly reflective and very light popped corn is removed via the air stream which stops the cooking process.

    Abstract: A sensor array includes a number of discrete elements each comprising a dielectric body and two electrodes. Dielectric body has an annular skirt and the electrodes define an annular gap in which an end portion of the skirt is located. Body is displaced relative to the electrodes upon application of pressure thereto, causing the skirt to further penetrate the gap and cause a detectable change in capacitance of the electrodes, related to the magnitude of the applied pressure. The dielectric bodies are supported by a common, resilient sheet which returns the bodies to a rest position when pressure is removed.
