Title: Sensor panel for locating a load

Abstract: A sensor panel for sensing the location and/or shape of a load superimposed on one face of the panel includes a plate consisting essentially of an electrically conductive material varying in electric conductivity in response to a pressure applied in the direction of plate thickness. Two groups of transversely spaced conductors elongated in respective common directions perpendicular to each other are secured to the two faces of the plate in electrically conductive contact.
