Capacitive displacement sensor’s touch-free nature makes it ideal for fragile surfaces and high-speed machinery.

Of course, we all know that capacitors are conceptually two conductors separated by a dielectric of some sort. But outside of air-variable capacitors you normally don’t see them looking like that. For ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Another passive two-terminal electrical component is the capacitor. It is formerly known as a condenser and is capable of storing energy in the form of an electrostatic charge that produces a ...
