Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

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.

Sponsored by IDT: Thanks to the advances made in inductive position sensing, the technology is carving new paths in automotive design and leaving its optical and capacitive cousins in the dust.

Guest columnist Helen Francis, product marketing manager at Atmel Touch Technology, says that capacitive touch can be used as a proximity sensor In recent years, capacitive touch technology has ...
