There is a wide need for position, motion, and proximity sensing using low power for various applications. Capacitive, inductive, and Hall effect sensors are among the approaches for today’s low-power ...

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 ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Waymo has been granted a patent for an apparatus that includes a lens assembly, image sensor, actuator, and capacitive position sensor to adjust the position of the image sensor along the optical axis ...

Capacitive touch interfaces have become increasingly popular for button and slider interfaces used for input control. The performance of a slider or button under changing environmental conditions is ...

A sensor is a very crucial part of any measurement gear. It gathers information from the physical parameters and environment and gives an electrical input to the structures. Among the broad range of ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

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 ...
