Hey everyone - I am looking for individuals with thorough knowledge of force and/or pressure sensing technology (specifically piezo and/or QTC). I am a designer/inventor with a problem for which I am ill-equipped to solve on my own and could use some guidance. Please reply if you are well-versed in this field and I will PM you and describe my situation in detail. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm an old instrument designer and have worked with strain gauges, variable capacitance, piezo resistive and more. I've been involved in a couple of projects that used mechanisms similar to QTC, but have yet to see one make it to market. Feel free to ping me.

Thanks a ton for entertaining my questions Mike.

Everyone, I am still looking for input here. Any other experts?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
