Mobase Electronics Co. Ltd. announced a strategic partnership with UltraSense Systems. Mobase will adopt the UltraSense TouchPoint Q TapForce HMI controller in its latest solid-surface infotainment button bars for Korean and other global automakers in production later this year, with further collaboration using UltraSense CapForce HMI controllers. UltraSense [2]TouchPoint Q [3]'s patented QuadForce architecture is a breakthrough in force-sensing technology for automotive by using a MEMS piezoelectric process to etch four microscopic strain sensors into each TouchPoint controller, which provides the benefits of: Immunity to low and high temperature sensitivities.

Resilience against mechanical and aging stresses compared to other force-sensing technologies. Instant robustness to capacitive touch systems. Calibratable force thresholds that may be tuned for the requirements of each use case.
