The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

Liquid-level sensing is used in consumer electronics appliances like washing machines to detect the detergent level. The sensor technolo­gy has progressed to such an extent that refrigerators can now ...

Ever wondered how a touch-sensitive screen works? The answer is capacitive sensing, which can detect the presence of your finger through the protective glass sheet and doesn't require any pressure.

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 ...

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 ...

New York, United States, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capacitive pressure sensors are able to recognize variations in a material's dimensions brought on by pressure applied to the outside and ...

NEWARK, DEL, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global capacitive sensor market is poised for significant expansion, with sales projected to rise at a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6 ...

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 ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...
