Industrial Design is the central driving force behind creating and improving most of today's consumer electronic products. In the mid-market handset industry, user interface improvement is a critical ...

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 ...

Capacitive sensing as a user input medium is no longer a fringe technology relegated to select products. It is now a mature technology employed in thousands of products and millions of units.

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

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 ...

Take a quick look at most older appliances, consumer products, and even medical devices of just a few decades ago and you’ll see their user front panels are covered with traditional, protruding ...

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 ...

A touch/proximity sensing solution from ON Semiconductor – the LC717A30UJ high dynamic range capacitance-to-digital converter – uses mutual capacitance to detect changes in capacitance down to ...

University of Bath researchers have created a lactic acid sensor using double-layer capacitance created when a particular sensitive molecule is attached to a graphene-like porous electrode structure ...
