Abstract
A window system includes a window that moves between a closed position and an open position, and a pressure-sensitive material disposed on an edge of the window. An object detection method includes moving a window from a more open position to a less open position, and during the moving, detecting an electrical parameter using a pressure-sensitive material.
Claims17
A window system, comprising:
- a window that moves between a closed position and an open position;
- and
- a pressure-sensitive material disposed on an edge of the window, wherein the pressure-sensitive material includes at least two before pressure is applied strands that are in contact with each other twisted.
A window system, comprising:
- a window that moves between a closed position and an open position;
- a tube secured to an edge of the window;
- at least one first strand of a pressure sensitive material, the at least one first strand disposed within the tube;
- and
- at least one second strand of the pressure sensitive material, the at least one second strand disposed within the tube, the at least one first strand intertwined with the at least one second strand to establish a plurality of crossing points where the at least one first strand contacts the at least one second strand before pressure is applied.
