Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

Most printed electronics applications rely on some kind of ink formulated with conductive nanomaterials (read more: "Conductive nanomaterials for printed electronics applications"). Researchers have ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Today’s homes and workplaces are increasingly pervaded by smart appliances, which are designed to be attractive and reliable, and ideally should support interactions that are as easy and rewarding as ...

HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, today announced the TouchChip TC series of capacitive fingerprint sensors has been awarded Level 1 certification by independent ...

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday issued Apple a patent for a touch pad that removes the traditional "clickable" integrated button, replacing it with four or more force sensors and an ...

Today Synaptics has unveiled a new touch pad in the form of the Forcepad, and has entered the keyboard market with the launch of its ThinTouch keyboard which has been designed for Ultrabook computers.

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...
