A Capacitance Humidity-Sensing Transducer
IEEE Transactions on Components, Hybrids, and Manufacturing Technology, 1979Recent improvements in the design of humidity-sensing transducers and the materials used in their construction have minimized many of the past limitations. A new capacitance humidity sensor is described that has a design, construction, and material composition that impart a unique combination of properties.

Capacitive proximity sensing hardware comparison
2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON), 2019In this paper, different hardware solutions for proximity sensing are reviewed. The purpose of the review is to find the most accurate sensing method with the option to process raw data and to extend the system beyond one sensor. During the research proximity sensing system, derived from commercially available solutions, have been made.

Bioinspired flow-sensing capacitive microphone
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaInspired by the auditory systems of small animals, such as spiders, the tachinid fly, Ormia ochracea, and mosquitoes, a novel low-noise, flow-sensing capacitive MEMS microphone capable of sensing acoustic particle velocity is introduced. Unlike conventional microphones that have a diaphragm for sensing sound pressure, this design consists of a thin ...

High SNR Capacitive Sensing Transducer
2006 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2006This paper describes a high signal-to-noise ratio capacitive sensing transducer with high power efficiency and high area efficiency. The circuit is an example of capacitive circuit and is based on a capacitive feedback charge amplifier. 78.6dB SNR in audio band is achieved with less than 0.5 /spl mu/W power consumption by making use of a floating-gate ...

Three-phase capacitive position sensing
2010 IEEE Sensors, 2010We present a novel sensing scheme for capacitive position sensors based on physical and electrical modifications of traditional sensing arrangements. In addition to improved sensitivity, this “three-phase” sensing scheme enables a purely electrical method for post-process compensation of fabrication tolerances that can be implemented in the signal ...

Capacitive Sensing of Glucose in Electrolytes Using Graphene Quantum Capacitance Varactors
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2017A novel graphene-based variable capacitor (varactor) that senses glucose based on the quantum capacitance effect was successfully developed. The sensor utilizes a metal-oxide-graphene varactor device structure that is inherently compatible with passive wireless sensing, a key advantage for in vivo glucose sensing.

Variable Geometry Capacitive Probes for Multipurpose Sensing
Research in Nondestructive Evaluation, 1989A capacitive array for robotic proximity and feature sensing has been designed, modeled, and tested. The basic probe consists of alternating metallic strip electrodes. One set of strips makes up the drive plate. The other set consists of tiny receivers. Both sum and differential modes of operations are used to allow one to detect proximity and features,
