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 proximity sensor block diagram Capacitive proximity sensors use two metal electrodes or plates to generate a high-frequency electrostatic field.

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 ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

The motion-control market continues to grow and so does the need for sensor controls that help guide it. The advances of smart motion systems will trickle down into several different markets. Smart ...

Kinematic sensing for displacement and velocity vectors is in high demand in manufacturing, transportation, robotics, mapping and so on. Current technologies for these vector measurements are based on ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

A capacitance sensor has been developed for measuring the protrusion of fastener heads. The capacitance sensor is easily integrated into an automated rivet installation system. The sensor is capable ...

April 24, 2009 Automatic faucets are a good idea, they're convenient, hygienic and big water savers, but many of us who've encountered these "smart taps" in public washrooms would be familiar with the ...

Capacitive-touch sensors can detect a finger touch by measuring capacitive changes on the touch pad. Currently, the most popular form of capacitive-touch sensors relies on a microprocessor and ...
