The goal of the capacitive liquid sensor is to measure the change in capacitance or charge between two metal plates depending on the material between them, making it safe to use with any liquid. The ...

[Andy] needed a new set of locks for his tool cabinets at work, but not wanting to carry around another key (or to remember a combination!) he decided to throw this little hack together — solenoid ...

[Andrew & Deborah O’Malley] were tapped to created an interactive exhibit. The mission was to show that social problems take continual support from a lot of people before they can be solved. The piece ...

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 ...

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 ...

Silicon Labs has introduced the TouchXpress family of fixed-function controllers that are claimed to provide the fastest, easiest way to add low-power capacitive touch interfaces to embedded designs.

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

Inherently noncontacting capacitive sensors hold a charge differential and register when passing objects alter it. Either one metal plate generates and Inherently noncontacting capacitive sensors hold ...
