A forage harvester comprising an edge sharpness detection device for detecting a degree of edge sharpness of a cutting mechanism is disclosed. The cutting mechanism comminutes a stream of harvested material, with a material inflow area being defined where the cutting blades interact with the shear bar to comminute the harvested material. The edge sharpness detection device excites one or more magnetic circuits, with the respective magnetic circuit being closed by the respective cutting blade during rotation of the cutter drum once one of the cutting blades passes the magnetic assembly (positioned outside of the material inflow area). The edge sharpness detection device detects the magnetic flux in the respective magnetic circuit and, based on a detected change, determines a degree of edge sharpness of the respective cutting blade. Further, the magnetic flux of the magnetic circuit may be guided lengthwise in the cutting blade at least along a longitudinal section of the respective cutting blade.

Disclosed herein is a detection device including a sensor substrate including strain sensors arranged on a rectangular flexible substrate at fixed intervals in a longitudinal direction. A curvature radius between a pair of adjacent strain sensors is calculated on a value from a preceding strain sensor of the pair of adjacent sensors. When a start point node is defined as a position of a first strain sensor at one end of the strain sensors, a relative position of each of the strain sensors is determined by sequentially adding the relative positions. When the first and second strain sensors overlap, positions of the first and second strain sensors are considered identical on relative space. A position of each strain sensor is corrected based on a difference between a calculated position of the second strain sensor determined by sequentially adding the relative positions and actual position of the second strain sensor.

A curvature radius measurer, an electronic device and a manufacturing method for the curvature radius measurer are provided. The curvature radius measurer is adhered to a panel. When the panel is pressed, the panel can be bent and deformed, and strain sensing resistors are deformed therewith, thus causing change of electrical characteristics of a curvature radius measurement circuit. The electrical property is only determined by the curvature radius of the panel, and the corresponding electric signal is obtained through the curvature radius measurement circuit, that is, the curvature radius of the panel at a pressed position can be accurately detected.
