Capacitive sensors, on the other hand, can be isolated from the water itself, and thus sense the levels without being subject to such degradation. [Magnus] pairs the off-the-shelf capacitive ...

The working principle of digital calipers is mysterious enough that we’d never think to dismantle, much less improve them, right? Well, think again, as [Limi DIY] retrofits the processing ...

Tactile pressure sensors are used to detect the pressure distribution between a sensor and a target. They are often used as robot grippers or flat tactile arrays. Flexible sensors can be molded to ...

Capacitive proximity sensors use the face or surface of the sensor as one plate of a capacitor, and the surface of a conductive or dielectric target object as the other. The capacitance varies ...

We make and develop novel 3D-printed tactile sensors and hands, such as the award-winning 3D-printed tactile fingertip (Tac Tip). We write the algorithms that make the robots function. We apply ...

Capacitive touch sensors are used either as buttons or on touchscreens. They work by sensing the electrical properties of the human body instead of pressure and generally they don't work with a ...

The iPhone 16 has been available for almost a month now. These are nine exclusive camera features iPhone 16 users can take ...

Haptic technologies deliver feedback through the sense of touch – from simple vibration alerts all the way to immersive tactile interactions. In 2024, the largest market for haptics is in smartphones ...

The thickness is calculated by offsetting two opposing capacitive sensors. In contrast to tactile measuring principles, the ...

Salahuddin and Datta found that, under certain conditions, the use of ferroelectric materials leads to a negative capacitance (that is, the voltage of the capacitor decreases as charge is added).

Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but ...
