ZMDI has expanded itsfamily of capacitive-sensorsignal-conditioningdevices with the wide-dynamic-rangeZSSC3123 IC. The chipdelivers 14-bit resolution and0.25% accuracy over a rangeof sensor ...

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 ...

There are generally two types of accelerometers currently available—capacitor-based and thermal versions—and both are microelectromechanical devices (MEMS). So what’s the difference between the two?

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how ...

Bio-inspired design for photosensitive perovskite-based capacitors could enable light sensors that respond only to movement. (Courtesy: Pixabay) A new type of sensor that closely mimics how the human ...
