Interfacial force sensor with force-feedback control [PDF]
International Technical Digest on Electron Devices, 2002 A novel interfacial force microscope capable of measuring the forces between two surfaces over the entire range of surface separations, up to contact, has been developed. The design is centered around a differential capacitance displacement sensor where the common capacitor plate is supported by torsion bars.

Electronic detection of surface plasmon polaritons by metal-oxide-silicon capacitor
APL Photonics, 2016 An electronic detector of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is reported. SPPs optically excited on a metal surface using a prism coupler are detected by using a close-coupled metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) capacitor. Incidence-angle dependence is explained by

External Force Estimation for Telerobotics without Force Sensor [PDF]
, 2014 This paper establishes an approach to external force estimation through the use of a mathematical model and current sensing, without employing a force/torque sensor. The advantages and need for force feedback have been well established in the field of telerobotics.
