Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

Designing with high-fidelity capacitive proximity sensors requires careful consideration of mechanical design, sensor placement/design, and end-application operating environments. Careful evaluation ...

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 ...

Reliable sensing in an automobile can make a trip that much more enjoyable. Something as simple as a reliable door closure indicator can remove distractions while driving, or better yet, quickly ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SMK Corporation (TOKYO:6798) has developed a touch controller equipped with proximity and hover sensing functions with a maximum proximity sensing distance of 100mm and maximum ...

Ken-ichi Nomura (Researcher) and Hirobumi Ushijima (Leader, also Deputy Director of the research center), the Advanced Surface Processing Team, the Flexible Electronics Research Center (FLEC; Director ...

One of the backbones to the success of any automated process is the accuracy to which one can detect and measure the various elements involved. Whether the process requires precise measurement and ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
