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 ...

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 ...

There are generally two types of accelerometers currently available—capacitor-based and thermal versions—and both are microelectromechanical devices (MEMS). So what’s the difference between the two?

KT Series capacitive touch sensitive sensors are designed to be used as machine start/stop buttons in the industrial automation, mobile and building automation industries. The sensors provide a ...

For countless individuals across the globe, Ramadan fasting constitutes a profound and sacred time. However, abstaining from food and drink from sunup to sundown, especially in hot conditions, can ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

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 touch-sensing user interfaces are replacing mechanical buttons in products across consumer, medical and industrial segments. However, with the advent of touch-sensing user interfaces, ...
