ABSTRACT:
A transducer for indicating changes of an applied physical force including a first electrically propertied means connected within an electrical circuit to create an electrical potential across the first means, a second electrically propertied means adapted to be placed in contact with the first means in a manner so as to reflect a linear relationship between the area of contact between the two means and the force applied to the second means. A preferred embodiment utilizes an elastomeric actuator to apply the force to the second means.
