As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

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 ...

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 ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

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 ...

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 ...

Sponsored by IDT: Thanks to the advances made in inductive position sensing, the technology is carving new paths in automotive design and leaving its optical and capacitive cousins in the dust.

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...
