A capacitive pressure sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on a surface of a folded flexible substrate. The first and second electrodes face each other and are separated from each other by a dielectric layer. The sensor can operate by generating an electrical signal related to a change in capacitance between the first and second electrodes. The change in capacitance results from a change in thickness of the dielectric layer due to an external pressure. The electrical signal can be transmitted from the capacitive pressure sensor to an external device.

Method of measuring external pressure using capacitive pressure sensors

An embodiment power transmission device includes an input shaft rotatable about a first rotation axis, first and second wires wound around an outer surface of the input shaft based on a first radial direction, each having a first side fixed to the input shaft, an output shaft rotatable about a second rotation axis, the output shaft including a shaft body, wherein the first and second wires surround an outer surface of the shaft body based on a second radial direction, and first and second wire holders to which a second side of the first wire and a second side of the second wire are respectively fixed. The first wire extends in a first circumferential direction of the shaft body, and then the first wire extends in a second circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction of the shaft body.
