Liquid-level sensing is used in consumer electronics appliances like washing machines to detect the detergent level. The sensor technolo­gy has progressed to such an extent that refrigerators can now ...

In Part 1 of this article, we explained popular liquid-level sensing methods and their limitations. We also delved into why capacitive-sensing techniques are superior to traditional methods used for ...

Described as being immune to noise and easy to deploy, the flat-pack BCF10 capacitive sensor for level applications has the ability to detect liquids with high concentrations of chlorides such as ...

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 ...

NR260 Level Sensor, an IP68 protected capacitive level sensor, is ideal for monitoring de-ionised water in fuel cells, and for monitoring aggressive liquids in the chemical industry. The sensor is ...

Compact, economic and quick to install, SICK’s CQF16 capacitive level sensor has been developed to provide a universal, non-contact solution wherever the fill level of water-based liquids must be ...

Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

There are generally two types of accelerometers currently available—capacitor-based and thermal versions—and both are microelectromechanical devices (MEMS). So what’s the difference between the two?

For countless individuals across the globe, Ramadan fasting constitutes a profound and sacred time. However, abstaining from food and drink from sunup to sundown, especially in hot conditions, can ...
