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 ...

This sensor incorporated a magnet in order to convert the silk motion into an electronic signal. As an alternative to using a magnet, Miles set out to create a capacitive sensor.

The capacitive sensors market is poised for significant expansion as industries continue to embrace smart, touch-enabled, and proximity-sensing solutions. With advancements in sensor ...

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

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.

3M Touch Systems announces the commercial availability of a new polyester-based projected capacitive touch screen solution. MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors from 3M are ideal for high-volume ...

Rather than relying on motion activated Infrared sensors which have a tendency to cut out mid-rinse, these taps utilize a capacitive omni-directional sensing zone around the spout which the ...

The sensor is capable of measuring the protrusion of a fastener head relative to the skin surface, even in the presence of corrosion protective films used on the aircraft skin surface during ...

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 ...
