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 ...

The motion-control market continues to grow and so does the need for sensor controls that help guide it. The advances of smart motion systems will trickle down into several different markets. Smart ...

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 ...

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

A capacitance sensor has been developed for measuring the protrusion of fastener heads. The capacitance sensor is easily integrated into an automated rivet installation system. The sensor is capable ...

"These new products are a great example of the kind of innovation that is possible with our new kind of capacitive sensors," said Barbara Barclay, CEO of Somalytics, in a statement. "We look forward ...

PISeca™ capacitance displacement gauges perform high-precision, non-contact measurements of position, length or vibration against any kind of electrically conductive target. PISeca™ capacitance gauges ...

April 24, 2009 Automatic faucets are a good idea, they're convenient, hygienic and big water savers, but many of us who've encountered these "smart taps" in public washrooms would be familiar with the ...
