The Bend Sensor NOW? Copyright 2015 Flexpoint Sensor Systems Page 2 of 6 www.flexpoint.com

The Bend Sensor Goes Global The Bend Sensor offers a superior solution for applications that require accurate measurement and sensing of deflection, acceleration, and range of motion. Global market opportunities include automotive, medical, industrial controls, health and fitness, security, computer peripherals, aerospace, transportation and consumer products. Specific applications include: Virtual Reality glove or suit Security systems Robotics Machine controls Physical rehab equipment Exercise equipment Joy sticks Switches Toys Household appliances No Moving Parts The Bend Sensor one-piece construction contains no moving or mechanical components that abrade or wear. Without mechanical swiping or rubbing, The Bend Sensor is inaudible in operation, offering engineers new options in design and manufacture. The The Bend Sensor also: Provides greater accuracy than traditional potentiometers. Is not prone to degradation through mechanical contact, so it has a longer life than many competing sensors. Eliminates repeated system breakdown due to mechanical failure, so it is more reliable and less expensive to system operations. Can be protected to operate in harsh environments. Operates in a large temperature range. Comes backed by a core of industry savvy Engineers to handle any technical need. Flexpoint Custom Engineering Flexpoint is the worldwide leader developing and manufacturing The Bend Sensor technology. Our experienced engineers can develop a custom sensing system to fit your application. Alternatively, you can choose a product from our standard line of The Bend Sensor. So whether you would like us to send samples or talk about your application, give us a call. We re ready to put our ideas and our technology to work for you.

Diversity of Applications Airbags aren t the only application suited for this unique sensor. The extremely thin and flexible The Bend Sensor was initially used in a virtual reality glove providing analog feedback of finger movements. Marketed by one of the world s largest toy makers, the interactive glove became a major consumer success and the first of several interactive toys to use Flexpoint s The Bend Sensor technology. Larry Killgallon, President of the Ohio Art Company, the maker of Etch -a-sketch, is enthusiastic about future applications of The Bend Sensor for the toy industry: The Bend Sensor HAS THE ABILITY TO GIVE TOYS A NERVOUS SYSTEM. The Bend Sensor IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE CONCEPT OF INTERACTIVE TOYS, AND WE ARE THRILLED TO BE LEADING THE INDUSTRY WITH THIS UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY.

The Thin Revolution In Variable Resistors Flexpoint sets a new standard in variable resistors with The Bend Sensor, a technological breakthrough that reduces the dimensions of typical sensor devices by as much as 90%. This ultra-thin flexible plastic film is the lightest, most robust and cost-effective variable resistor in the world. Successfully developed for the automotive industry, The Bend Sensor is now available for a range of applications that require mechanical control. Its ability to measure changes in deflection make it possible to determine flow, movement and pattern. The Bend Sensor promises virtually unlimited uses in medical, industrial controls, automotive and consumer markets. A Sensor That Makes Smart Decisions The force behind an automobile airbag can sometimes be deadly to children and small adults. Flexpoint has developed an Occupant Detection System with The Bend Sensor at its heart. By automatically sizing up a car s passenger, this life saving device will make a smart decision to deploy or suppress the airbag in the event of an accident. Unique The Bend Sensor Technology The Bend Sensor consists of a single thin (.005 ), flexible plastic film coated with a proprietary coating. This coating can also be used on other materials such as metals. When the sensor is bent, the coating separates into many micro cracks that open and close to the degree the sensor is bent. The opening and closing of cracks causes a measurable change in resistance. In short, The Bend Sensor is a variable resistor that changes as it is bent. Electronic systems connect to the sensor and measure with fine detail the amount of bending or movement that occurs. The single layer design eliminates many of the problems associated with conventional sensors such as dust, dirt, liquids, and heat and pressure effects. The The Bend Sensor product allows for the measurement of mechanical movement, air flow, water flow, or even vibration. In addition, it has been tested to over 35 million cycles without failure. It can be used as a range of motion sensor, or as a very durable, very reliable switch in most harsh environments. Copyright 2015 Flexpoint Sensor Systems Page 5 of 6 www.flexpoint.com
