Additionally, the capacitive sensors used can detect through solid materials without performance degradation.
Size and spacing of the capacitive sensor are both very important to the sensor's performance.
A stylus designed for resistive touchscreens will not register on capacitive sensors.
That they have a problem with passive ones is basically unfixable, as capacitive sensors do not provide the required resolution.
One of the more common applications of capacitive sensors is for precision positioning.
This error can be eliminated by using two capacitive sensors to measure a single part.
Using capacitive sensors to test assembly line parts can help to prevent quality concerns further along in the production process.
An electromagnetic diaphragm is a form of capacitive sensor used on an electronic stethoscope.
However, unlike capacitive sensors, this sensor technology is not susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage.
In July 2010, Ruwido launched a new design of the model, with the development of a capacitive sensor.
