To address the resource-competing issue between high sensitivity and wide working range for a stand-alone sensor, development of capacitive sensors with an adjustable gap between two electrodes has ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

Interfacing to MEMS transducers, such as those that sense acceleration, pressure, altitude, humidity, rain, level and gas, e2v's CPIC2.0 ic has been designed to ease the process of sensor data ...

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 ...

Force measurement sits at the heart of modern engineering. Robots that handle fragile parts, aerospace systems that can't ...

Fabrication of single crystal diamond capacitive pressure sensor is presented. Firstly, the single crystal diamond cantilever beam was formed on HPHT diamond substrate by using selective high-energy ...

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 ...

How to create an application-optimized thin force sensor. How the sensor was integrated with a standard RFID IC. The various tests run for accuracy and range under different scenarios. Some ...

Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

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 ...

From synchrotron light sources to long-term space missions, nanopositioning specialist Queensgate is eyeing niche markets and extreme operating conditions for its NC series of nanosensors Tough enough ...
