Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

Capacitive sensors are typically cost-effective and deliver low-power performance features aligned with today’s trends for consumer and industrial applications. Capacitive sensors are cost effective ...

Liquid-level sensing based on capacitive sensors comes with its own challenges. It’s like absolute capacitance sensing. Unlike touch detection, the absolute value of the liquid level needs to be ...

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 ...

An inclination or tilt sensor provides angular-tilt information relative to gravitational force. This information can then be used to change the characteristics of the device. For example, tilt ...

Candle clocks were once an easy way to build a clock without using complex mechanical devices: just observe how quickly a thin candle burns down, mark an identical candle with periodic gradations, and ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

The company’s latest dual-axis inclinometer sensors for angular tilt detection feature compact rectangular housings and mount at ±10?, ±45?, ±60?, and ±85? angles. The components measure angular tilt ...

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 ...
