Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

Liquid-level sensing based on capacitive sensors comes with its own challenges. It’s like absolute capacitance sensing. Unlike touch detection, the absolute value of the liquid level needs to be ...

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 ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

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 ...

Simple, low cost and low consumption devices are required in medical applications. In Dr. Luis Moreno-Hagelsieb's laboratory, aluminum oxide interdigitated capacitors have been developed and ...

Engineers developing heavy equipment such as tractors, cranes, wood chippers, and construction equipment need to include incline sensors and indicators—both to ensure that workers do not operate the ...
