Abstract
A sensor product for electric field sensing. The sensor includes a substrate, at least one electrically conductive area on the surface of the substrate, an output, and at least one conductor between the at least one electrically conductive area and the output. Also a sensor product web.
Claims8
A sensor product web for electric field sensing, the sensor comprising:
- a substrate comprising a continuous roll of material;
- a plurality of sequential electrically conductive areas on a surface of the substrate;
- a plurality of conductors on the surface of the substrate, the conductors being parallel to each other and extending in a longitudinal direction of the sensor product web, wherein only one electrically conductive area is in contact with one conductor in a longitudinal length of the sensor product web, wherein a maximum number of the electrically conductive areas is equivalent to a maximum number conductors;
- a plurality of bridges each comprising dielectric and electrically conductive material extending between the conductive areas and one of the conductors, the bridge enabling cutting the substrate at a plurality of points to form output including at least one electrically conductive area and at least one associated conductor;
- and
- a plurality of outputs operatively connected to one of the conductors.
