Abstract: A force detection system includes first and second sets of pressure sensors, memory, and a processing module. The first set of pressure sensors are in an insole of a shoe and the second set of pressure sensors are in an outsole of a shoe. The processing module receives first data regarding the first set of pressure sensors and generates a first digital representation of the first data. The processing module also receives second data regarding the second set of pressure sensors and generates a second digital representation of the second data. The processing module also writes the first and second digital representations to the memory.

Abstract: A system for mapping data of force transmission from a plurality of force-imparting points to each force-measuring device is disclosed. A linear actuator assembly includes a Z-axis actuator and a slider. A load cell is secured to the slider, such that actuation of the Z-axis actuator is mechanically coupled to a vertical movement of the load cell via the slider. A sample stage includes a sample stage positioner and is configured to retain a sample including at least one force-measuring device. The load cell is configured to impart a time-varying applied force to the sample. The controller is configured to control actuation of the sample positioner to position the load cell at each one of a plurality of force-imparting points on the sample and, for each respective force-imparting point, control the actuation of the Z-axis actuator. A computer is configured to generate a map of data of force transmission from the plurality of force-imparting points to the force-measuring device in accordance with digital transducer data obtained from the force-measuring device upon the imparting of the time-varying applied force at each force-imparting point.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for using a two-dimensional distributed mode actuator. One of the systems includes a transducer adapted to create a force to cause vibration of a load to generate sound waves, the transducer having a first width along a first axis; a transfer portion connected to the transducer along a first side parallel to the first axis, and having a second width along the first axis that is less than the first width; and a stub connected to the transfer portion along a second side of the transfer portion that is parallel to the first axis and an opposite side from the first side connected to the transducer, having a third width that is greater than the second width, and having a surface adapted to connect to the load to transfer the force received from the transducer through the transfer portion to the load.

Abstract: A method includes detecting a force applied to a sensing area of a sensor system, the sensing area including a first sensing region and a second sensing region. The first sensing region is determined to be a correct sensing region. The second sensing region is determined to be an incorrect sensing region. An activation area of the incorrect sensing region is determined. A force distribution of the incorrect sensing region is determined. A corrected corresponding force measurement of the incorrect sensing region is calculated based on the activation area and force distribution of the incorrect sensing region.
