Liquid-level sensing is used in consumer electronics appliances like washing machines to detect the detergent level. The sensor technolo­gy has progressed to such an extent that refrigerators can now ...
Liquid-level sensing based on capacitive sensors comes with its own challenges. It’s like absolute capacitance sensing. Unlike touch detection, the absolute value of the liquid level needs to be ...
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 ...
Capacitive proximity sensors use the face or surface of the sensor as one plate of a capacitor, and the surface of a conductive or dielectric target object as the other. The capacitance varies ...
Electrical capacitance sensors detect and measure capacitance, which is the ability to store an electrical charge. Capacitive sensors are essentially oscillators, which open a capacitor that generates ...
Touted as an industry first, a new capacitive level sensor has been designed specifically for tubes and hoses. The TLS 100 has a clip-on mounting design that is said to reduce installation time from ...
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 displacement sensors span a wide range of resolution, from the touchscreen sensors which can only detect displacement as a binary state, all the way to the sensors in semiconductor fabs ...
When it comes to inductive and capacitive position sensors, each is built quite differently, meaning that each technology is suited to particular geometries and applications. When German scientist ...
