The user interface of personal electronics has become critical to the success of the product. Capacitive touch sensing has become the user interface technology of choice. Designers face challenges ...

Electromechanical switches are simple, cheap, and widely available (Fig. 1). However, they’re also plagued with a number of disadvantages, including wear with repeated use, and the potential for ...

The capacitive touch human-machine interface (HMI) is a critical aspect of modern electronics. It is how we interact with our devices, making it an integral part of wearables, smart home products and ...

Capacitive touch technology has made tremendous inroads into a wide range of applications since its introduction to the market. Touch technology began with resistive touch screens used in the first ...

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 ...

You’ve probably encountered some faulty touchscreens that required multiple touches, applying more pressure each time, just to register an entry. That’s because early resistive touchscreen ...
