This article describes a new “Capacitance-to-Time Conversion” (CTC) method called “Capacitive TurboSensing” (CTS). CTS is a high-performance, low-cost capacitive sensing method based on the principles ...

Capacitive-touch sensors can detect a finger touch by measuring capacitive changes on the touch pad. Currently, the most popular form of capacitive-touch sensors relies on a microprocessor and ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitive sensors are common in today’s consumer electronics, since they are used in many touchscreen applications. Most of the ...

Today’s homes and workplaces are increasingly pervaded by smart appliances, which are designed to be attractive and reliable, and ideally should support interactions that are as easy and rewarding as ...
