Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

Capacitive sensing finds use in all kinds of industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer applications. The popularity of this technology, especially in HID (human interface devices), has grown ...

Using metamaterials, light-driven additive manufacturing, and other techniques, researchers have created innovative pressure ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

The AS8580 launched by ams OSRAM adopts a robust capacitive sensing solution based on IQ demodulation technology, which can separate the measured capacitance into parasitic resistance/capacitance ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

Candle clocks were once an easy way to build a clock without using complex mechanical devices: just observe how quickly a thin candle burns down, mark an identical candle with periodic gradations, and ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...
