This application note describes briefly important factors for the usage of the PCF8883 and PCA8886 sensor devices. Sensor devices, or capacitive proximity switches in particular, is always a ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the launch of the new CD34 Series liquid level capacitive sensors. The CD34 Series is designed to detect water-based liquids through non-metallic walls, i.e. plastic ...

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 ...

Capacitive proximity sensors allow sensing of metal and non-metal objects through insulating materials such as wood or plastic and are often used to sense fill levels of liquids or powders. New lower ...

Now that we have discussed the theory about the sigma-delta modulator, let us design a simple proximity sensor that will detect an approaching hand and switch on an LED. A 0.5 mm 2 wire, 10 cm long, ...

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 ...

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.

A fingerprint can serve as identification to access locked doors and more, but current scanners can be duped with fake or even similar fingerprints. That may change soon, thanks to a collaborative ...

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 ...
