Abstract
A transducing system includes a support structure configured to support a transducer and includes at least one environmental sensor carried by the support structure. The environmental sensor may be a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, an altitude sensor, or a combination of these.
Claims18
A transducing system comprising:
- a support structure configured to support a transducer;
- and
- at least one environmental sensor selected from the group consisting of a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor and an altitude sensor, the at least one sensor being carried by the support structure.
A transducing system comprising:
- a support structure configured to support a transducer;
- and
- at least one environmental sensor carried by the support structure, the sensor being formed by at least one conductive layer and at least one dielectric layer on the support structure configured such that at least one characteristic of the conductive layer and/or the dielectric layer varies as at least one environmental condition varies.
