ABSTRACT:
A force sensor comprising a substrate, a conductive material providing an electrically discernible response to compressive stress disposed on the substrate, and a thermocouple disposed on the substrate proximate to the conductive material. A measurement processor is also described that includes first means for measuring electrical signals from the conductive material indicative of compressive stress, second means for measuring electrical signals from the thermocouple indicative of temperature in proximity to the conductive material, means for determining a temperature compensating factor derived from the electrical signals indicative of compressive stress and the electrical signals indicative of temperature, and means for determining a temperature compensated compressive stress value derived from the temperature compensating factor and the electrical signals indicative of compressive stress.
