NEWARK, Del, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global capacitive proximity sensor market registered an astonishing CAGR of 7.5% in the historical period between 2018 and 2022. The global ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

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.

Innovative capacitive proximity sensors are revolutionizing energy management practices by cutting power consumption in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and renewable energy installations.

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 ...

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 ...
