Built using polymer waveguides embedded in silicone, the technology could transform robotics, prosthetics, and next-gen ...

Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

A water-tolerant design offers a higher level of safety in white-goods applications, and it's cost-effective to boot. Capacitive touch sensors have made homes i n scores of MP3 players and mobile ...

This is a very simple touch sensor switch that is build with the 555 timer IC. You just need to touch the metal plate and the relay gets energised and is kept in this state for about 100 seconds, then ...

We are probably all familiar with this: if you want to quickly type a message on your smartphone, you sometimes hit the wrong letters on the small keyboard – or on other input buttons in an app. But ...

Zytronic, the supplier of rugged projected capacitive touch sensor technology, has added force sensing to its sensor range which will allow systems to differentiate between a soft and hard touch.

Carclo's hopes that 2012 will be a "transformational" year have been boosted by developments relating to a subsidiary operating in the touch sensor sector. The Ossett plastic components manufacturer ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...
