Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

Capacitive sensors are typically cost-effective and deliver low-power performance features aligned with today’s trends for consumer and industrial applications. Capacitive sensors are cost effective ...

Capacitive sensing provides a robust alternative to traditional mechanical switches. However, some applications cannot accommodate the physical implementation of a printed circuit board directly under ...

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 ...

Capacitive displacement sensors span a wide range of resolution, from the touchscreen sensors which can only detect displacement as a binary state, all the way to the sensors in semiconductor fabs ...

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 ...

The FDA’s 2004 guidance on process analytic technology (PAT) created a sub-industry focused on “reducing production cycle times by using on-, in-, and/or at-line measurements and controls.” GEN ...

Stumbling around YouTube, we found what has to be the lowest-tech method of producing a touchpad to make a capacitive touch keyboard, and we just had to share it with you. If you’re afraid of spoilers ...
