Pressure sensing mat with vent holes

A pressure sensing mat comprising:

• a first conductive layer including a first plurality of spaced apart conductive regions and a first plurality of non-conductive regions therebetween, the first plurality of spaced apart conductive regions and the first plurality of non-conductive regions extending in a first direction, the first conductive layer defining a first aperture;
• a second conductive layer including a second plurality of spaced apart conductive regions and a second plurality of non-conductive regions therebetween, the second plurality of spaced apart conductive regions and the first plurality of non-conductive regions extending in a second direction different than the first direction, the second conductive layer defining a second aperture;
• an insulative layer disposed between the first and second conductive layers and defining a third aperture, the first and second pluralities of spaced apart conductive regions do not span the third aperture;
• a first protective layer adjacent to the first conductive layer, the first protective layer defining a first protective layer aperture;
• and
• a second protective layer adjacent to the second conductive layer, the second protective layer defining a second protective layer aperture.

• a second protective layer adjacent the second conductive layer and defining a second protective layer aperture, the first aperture, the second aperture, and the third aperture and the first and second protective layer apertures collectively form a vent, the first and second pluralities of spaced apart conductive regions do not span the third aperture;
• and
• a cover at least partially covering the first protective layer and formed of moisture permeable material configured to transport moisture and/or a fluid from an outer surface of the cover to the vent.
