Integral electrode tilt sensor and method for making same

A method for making an electrolytic tilt sensor comprising the steps of:

• a) forming a containment envelope having an arcuate shape;
• b) attaching termination pads to respective edges of the containment vessel;
• c) disposing at least first and second electrodes along, and in contact with, a first interior surface portion of the containment envelope, said first and second electrodes being spaced apart from each other to define a gap between respective opposing edges of the first and second electrodes;
• d) disposing at least a third electrode along and in contact with a second interior surface portion of the containment envelope opposite said first interior surface portion;
• e) at least partially filling the containment envelope with an electrolyte solution to provide a gaseous bubble therein;
• f) sealing the containment envelope.
