But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how capacitive soil moisture sensors work simply, clearly, and concisely.

A capacitance proximity sensor most often used for industrial automation is mounted in the wooden base. He just calls it “an NPN capacitive sensor” without mentioning part number but these are ...

Meanwhile, a capacitance sensor measures the electrical charge in the leaf. Water conducts electricity differently than the leaf material, and the sensor can read that.

Three devices including a quad Schmitt Trigger and a Flip-Flop make a proximity sensor.

Valve tries to one-up Oculus Touch with five-finger “Knuckles” VR controller Capacitive sensors and palm-circling grip let you throw up some virtual horns.

August 2, 2007 Alps Electric has completed development of the industry’s smallest (4.8mm long x 4.8mm wide x 1.8 mm high) capacitance type pressure sensor to detect absolute pressure. The sensor ...

The type of capacitive sensor utilized in smartphone screens is capable of assessing a user's current hydration level, via a press of a finger ...

Three years ago, Biogen published a method, using capacitance sensors from Aber Instruments, for correlating “online” (also known as inline) capacitance VCC values with much easier-to-obtain ...

When applied to pharmaceuticals, the term “off-label” suggests the (frequently discovered) practical and beneficial uses for a drug that are different from the one it was originally developed for.

Scientists in China have developed a new strategy that could significantly improve the performance of chemical sensors used ...
