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 paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

Norwood, Mass. — Advanced sensing technology in Analog Devices, Inc.'s programmable 14-channel capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) for handheld consumer applications is said to enable touch ...

Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...

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 ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...
