Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods of using light transmission thought compressed living tissue to detect force. Transmission of light through living tissue such as a finger is affected by how much the tissue is compressed, for example by the finger being pressing on a surface. Light is introduced into the tissue, passes through the tissue, and a sensor receives the light exiting the tissue. The compression of the tissue can be determined using various characteristics of the received light, such as the light intensity, as determined based at least partly on sensor readings.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for calibrating an apparatus configured to determine an amount of force applied by living tissue, the method comprising:\n sensing a first light level though the living tissue in an uncompressed state; sensing a second light level through the living tissue in a compressed state; and computing a correlation between an amount of force applied by the living tissue, the sensed first light level, and the sensed second light level.
