Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for sensing comprising:
a computer; and
a plurality of printed electronic diodes and printed mechanical sensing elements connected to the computer, each mechanical sensing element made from two layers of printed conductive material and one or more layers of mechanical sensing material, which is printed between the two layers of conductive material, and having conductive traces, each printed diode is disposed between one side of conductive material and the mechanical sensing material, the plurality of printed electronic diodes detect mechanical signals applied to the plurality of mechanical-sensing elements and that provide corresponding values through the conductive traces to the computer, at least one of the plurality of printed diodes is in contact with one of the plurality of sensing elements so each sensing element has at least one of the plurality of printed diodes connected to one of the plurality of sensing elements.
