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 ...

Reliable sensing in an automobile can make a trip that much more enjoyable. Something as simple as a reliable door closure indicator can remove distractions while driving, or better yet, quickly ...

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 ...

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 ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Design of the laser speckle exposure system. Schematic representation of the laser speckle exposure system, comprising the UV laser, shutter, beam expander, mirror, convex lens, engineering diffuser, ...

"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 ...

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 ...
