The goal of the capacitive liquid sensor is to measure the change in capacitance or charge between two metal plates depending on the material between them, making it safe to use with any liquid. The ...

[Andy] needed a new set of locks for his tool cabinets at work, but not wanting to carry around another key (or to remember a combination!) he decided to throw this little hack together — solenoid ...

[Andrew & Deborah O’Malley] were tapped to created an interactive exhibit. The mission was to show that social problems take continual support from a lot of people before they can be solved. The piece ...

In the grand scheme of things, one millimeter may not seem like a lot, but in the smartphone arms race toward ever-slimmer devices, measurements like that matter. Synaptics, best known for building ...

“Interactive Fish Tank” is an installation that explores new, wet boundaries in touch-based interfaces. Developed in 2011 by Manuela Donoso and Crys Moore, Masters candidates at NYU’s Interactive ...

Capacitive sensing and imaging techniques have emerged as versatile and high‐resolution tools in the field of non‐destructive evaluation (NDE). By detecting variations in dielectric properties, these ...

New AS8579 capacitive sensor uses novel technique for fool-proof, hands-on detection design Enables sensing placement within the steering-wheel industry’s first completely reliable solution for ...

[Credit: Treehouse Projects] Whether you know it or not, you probably use a capacitive touch screen every day. Smartphones utilize the capacitive touch-sensing technology to interact with human skin ...
