Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

A team from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a novel thumb-shaped touch sensor capable of resolving the force of a contact, as well as its direction, over the ...

Infineon has augmented touch sensing and liquid level sensing it a new series of MCUs. Devices in the 4000T family have hardware and software to implement: enhanced capacitive touch sensing, inductive ...

Microchip enables designers to integrate inductive touch-sensing functionality within existing application code in a single standard 8-, 16- or 32-bit PIC® microcontroller (MCU) or 16-bit dsPIC® ...

Liquid metal sensors developed in the US have the potential to restore a sense of touch to prosthetic hands. The human fingertip has over 3,000 touch receptors that largely respond to pressure, ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Imagine a bulletproof iPod. It’s possible with new touch sensors that use resonant sound instead of capacitance. • Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) (TOKYO: 4902) (ISIN: JP3300600008) is going to show, as technology showcase, prototype of metal mesh transparent conductive film by inkjet ...
