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 ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

A new study reveals a scalable way to manufacture soft capacitive sensors, improving customization and performance for applications in wearable and robotic systems.

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 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 ...

Engineers developing heavy equipment such as tractors, cranes, wood chippers, and construction equipment need to include incline sensors and indicators—both to ensure that workers do not operate the ...

How to build a circuit that converts capacitance into a pulse train. Test results of the circuit design. The circuit in Figure 1 allows you to convert capacitance into a pulse train by using a ...

Some sensors output a processed analog signal that is linear with respect to the physical quantity being measured. Some perform quantization as well and provide a digital output. Though it is easy to ...
