The model 720 is a low-cost, compact capacitance vacuum gauge (CVG) based on the companyÕs variable capacitive sensor design. It produces a 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 10 Vdc output that is linear with ...

Often, it's necessary for a sensor system to compute the ratio of two capacitors. Doing so re-duces the transducer's sensitivity to dielectric errors from such ...

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 ...

August 2, 2007 Alps Electric has completed development of the industry’s smallest (4.8mm long x 4.8mm wide x 1.8 mm high) capacitance type pressure sensor to detect absolute pressure. The sensor can ...

It is not straightforward to design the layout for capacitive sensors and still achieve a 5:1 SNR in the end system. This is further complicated when using an MBR device where developers don’t have ...

Imagine a bulletproof iPod. It’s possible with new touch sensors that use resonant sound instead of capacitance. • Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a ...

If you have a project in mind that requires some sort of gesture input or precise movements, it might become a nettlesome problem to tackle. Fear this obstacle no longer: a team from the Wyss ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...
