Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
From synchrotron light sources to long-term space missions, nanopositioning specialist Queensgate is eyeing niche markets and extreme operating conditions for its NC series of nanosensors Tough enough ...
AMS has announced a configurable capacitive sensing front end which allows speed and resolution to be traded to optimise designs. Called PCap04, it can capture and digitise 50,000 times per second at ...
