Compared to common non-contact measurement techniques, capacitive displacement measurement is characterized by extreme precision and measurement stability. In contrast to conventional sensors, ...

New AS8579 capacitive sensor uses novel technique for fool-proof, hands-on detection design Enables sensing placement within the steering-wheel industry’s first completely reliable solution for ...

Waymo has been granted a patent for an apparatus that includes a lens assembly, image sensor, actuator, and capacitive position sensor to adjust the position of the image sensor along the optical axis ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

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 ...

When applied to pharmaceuticals, the term “off-label” suggests the (frequently discovered) practical and beneficial uses for a drug that are different from the one it was originally developed for.

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 ...

A sensor is a very crucial part of any measurement gear. It gathers information from the physical parameters and environment and gives an electrical input to the structures. Among the broad range of ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...
