The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

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 ...

Due to their ability to detect most types of materials, capacitive sensors must be kept away from non-target materials to avoid false triggering. For this reason, if intended targets contain ...

Another common fingerprint scanner type used today is the capacitive scanner. While these types of sensors were once common on the back of smartphones, they’re now commonly embbedded within side ...

Ltd. (TOKYO:6981) (ISIN:JP3914400001) (hereinafter "Murata") has developed newly capacitive type MEMS pressure (barometer) sensor (2.3 x 2.6 mm typ.). Samples and pre-production quantities will be ...

But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how capacitive soil moisture sensors work simply, clearly, and concisely. He also shows, with a short ...
