pressure sensors

[Johnny T Chang]

Hello,

I'm working on an application that requires measurement of interface
pressures (between skin and object). Currently, we have looked at
Tekscan's resistive technology, which we like. However, we want to
get a somewhat exhaustive survey of other technologies out there for
making pressure (or force, if it can be adequately/easily translated
to pressure) measurements that may be applicable. Anyone have some
thoughts or ... a list? Specific manufacturers would be helpful as
well if you have them (including other resistive sensor makers).

Thanks!
