ABSTRACT:
A multi-load cell force sensing apparatus includes a plurality of load cells supporting an operating surface and a controller which determines the position, as well as the magnitude, of an applied force relative to the operating surface. Impulse forces may be distinguished from static forces, thereby enabling the apparatus to function as a user input device whereby a user may request the apparatus to perform functions by pressing or touching a specified location on the operating surface.
