Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

In Part I of this series, we explored the differences between user interfaces based on mechanical buttons and those utilizing capacitive touch sensors. In Step 1 we discussed the look and feel of a ...

Capacitive Tactile Sensor Market Expected to Reach $10.68 Billion by 2031-Allied Market Research The growing adoption of touch-based displays and increasing demand for consumer electronics are driving ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the metrics needed to monitor the success of blood-vessel surgery is blood flow and pressure through the repaired vessel, but measuring that parameter brings many obvious challenges. A team of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Applications such as Point Of Sale (POS) devices and keypads for secure door locks are required to be tamper resistant. If these devices are tampered with, then there are possibilities for theft of ...

From Disney World to the smartphone in your pocket, fingerprint scanners have become commonplace these days. Even budget phones sport the tech, sometimes alongside other biometric unlocking options ...
