Figure 7 provides the typical design flow for implementing capacitive sensing. Firmware (F/W) Development, Tuning, and Production Fine Tuning are the critical phases in the life cycle of a ...

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 ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

The brochure on capacitive nanometrology displacement sensors and electronics presents PI’s state-of-the-art systems and also features a tutorial on single plate and dual plate capacitive sensors and ...

"These new products are a great example of the kind of innovation that is possible with our new kind of capacitive sensors," said Barbara Barclay, CEO of Somalytics, in a statement. "We look forward ...

A newly granted patent from Apple refers to "hover sensitive devices" in addition to touch devices, possibly indicating that the company is looking beyond multi-touch in order to process input made ...

Capacitive-sensing buttons are emerging as a popular interface alternative to mechanical switches in many consumer electronics and “white goods” applications. However, designing a capacitive-sensing ...
