  "term": "Resistive",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Relating to a type of touchscreen technology that detects input from pressure applied to its surface. A resistive screen consists of two flexible, conductive layers separated by a small air gap; pressing them together completes a circuit at a specific point. Because they respond to pressure from a finger, stylus, or gloved hand, these screens are frequently used in industrial control panels and point-of-sale systems.",
