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 ...

ON Semiconductor Corporation has introduced a highly integrated capacitance-to-digital converter IC that will speed the implementation and reduce the component count of electrostatic capacitance touch ...

Sony has been on the patent path for quite a while now. Their most recent iteration is a controller that can deform and return to its original shape while providing feedback and monitoring inputs. As ...

The Touch panel microcomputer R8C/33T group contains a hardware peripheral (SCU:sensor control unit) that monitors the ”touch” of the human body by measuring the stray capacitance generated between ...

Expanding the B6TS capacitive touch-sensing IC family are eight- and 16-channel LF versions that promise significant reductions in development time. The devices measure floating capacitance through ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

BINGHAMTON, NY - As part of ongoing acoustic research at Binghamton University, State University at New York Distinguished Professor Ron Miles has created a workable sensor with the least possible ...

Electronic sensors are critical devices that convert physical, chemical or biological stimuli into electrical signals, enabling measurement and control across a vast range of applications. Recent ...

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 ...
