Title: Ian Matthew Jensen and Dual-Function Foam Pressure Sensors.

Introduction

Ian Matthew Jensen is an inventor associated with Provo, Utah, and Nano Composite Products, Inc. His patent work concerns pressure sensing technology that can detect both the magnitude and location of pressure or strain applied to padded surfaces.

Latest Patents

Jensen is named on 1 patent: “Systems and Methods for Dual-Function Foam Pressure Sensors.” The invention describes a pressure-sensing system that uses dual-function foam integrated into padding. Depending on the applied pressure or strain, the foam can produce either a piezoelectric or piezoresistive effect, each of which may call for a different sensing approach. A configurable controller selects an appropriate operating mode, including a sleep mode that reduces power use when the foam has not been pressed for a period.

Career Highlights

Jensen’s listed patent highlights an approach to embedding pressure sensing in padding, with potential applications in objects where detecting the location and nature of user-applied pressure or strain is useful. He is associated with Nano Composite Products, Inc.

Collaborations

Jensen’s listed coworkers include Aaron Jake Merrell and Trevor Emil Christensen.

Conclusion

Ian Matthew Jensen’s patent work focuses on dual-function foam and adaptable sensing methods for detecting pressure and strain while managing controller power consumption.
