ABSTRACT:
The transducer functions as a capacitor to sense variations in inter-plate istances produced either by transducer displacement or by pressure. The capacitor plates include flexible rubber sheathing members having interior conductive surfaces spaced slightly from a conductive centrally-disposed metal plate. A pair of electrets are disposed one between each rubber surface and the central metal plate. Electrets are a battery replacement supplying a large electrostatic field. Opposite polarization of the electrets provides push-pull and directional capabilities. Like polarities, or the omission of one electrode, provide responsiveness both to pressure and to displacement. The central metal plate has sufficient mass to remain substantially stationary relative to the flexible movements of the rubber sheathing. Variations in the plate spacings produces variations in the capacitor output.
