A sensor having a set of grid of bars that are in contact from their bottom at the corners with a set of protrusions that are in contact from above with a plurality of intersections, each having a sensing element, of a grid of wires disposed on a base, and a top surface layer that is disposed atop the grid of bars, so that force imparted from above onto the top surface layer is transmitted to the grid of bars and thence to the protrusions, and thence to the intersections of the grid of wires which are thereby compressed between the base and protrusions; and that the protrusions above thereby focus the imparted force directly onto the intersections. A sensor includes a computer in communication with the grid of wires which causes prompting signals to be sent to the grid of wires and reconstructs a continuous position of force on the surface from interpolation based on data signals received from the grid of wires.

The present invention describes a system and method for accurately measuring the temperature of a filter element. A temperature transducer, and a communications device are coupled so as to be able to measure and transmit the temperature of a filter element while in use. This system can comprise a single component, integrating both the communication device and the temperature transducer. Alternatively, the system can comprise separate temperature transducer and transmitter components, in communication with one another. In yet another embodiment, a storage element can be added to the system, thereby allowing the device to store a set of temperature values. The use of this device is beneficial to many applications. For example, the ability to read filter temperatures in situ allows improved Sterilization-In-Place (SIP) protocol compliance, since the temperatures of actual filter elements can be directly measured, rather than interpolated as is done currently.

A method and system for using a single wireless network interface to selectively accept for further processing frames transmitted in a wireless data communications network. This allows a host system to emulate the operation of multiple, concurrently active stations in the wireless network. All wireless stations so emulated adhere to the requirements of applicable standard protocols; particularly, in the context of this innovation, with respect to contention for use of the communications medium and acceptance for further processing of frames transmitted on the medium to an emulated station from a communicating peer station. Each emulated station is assigned a unique address in accordance with the applicable standard protocol, which satisfies the characteristics of a programmable, masking address filter. The address filter allows the interface to accept frames addressed to a conforming emulated wireless station while ignoring other frames. This technique is useful in the creation of efficient systems which may thereby provide interface to the wireless medium concurrently on behalf of multiple emulated stations, giving the appearance from the network standpoint of multiple wireless stations which are all in fact operated within a single device.
