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 ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

Proximity sensors sense the proximity of a conductive object. For many applications, we are particularly interested in sensing human hand/fingers. There are different technologies to implement ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
