Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel probe for reliable detection of crack/defect in a conductive target. This probe is realized by combining the eddy current and capacitive sensing techniques.

Capacitance sensing probes have been in use for a number of years in the airframe assembly industry for characterizing diameters in straight and tapered fastener holes. A new type of capacitance probe ...

A frequent beginner project involves measuring soil moisture levels by measuring its resistance with a couple of electrodes. These electrodes are available ready-made as PCBs, but suffer badly from ...

Abstract: Precision agriculture is a potential candidate for enhancing productivity and conserving water resources. In particular, irrigation activities can be optimized by collecting soil conditions ...

The FDA’s 2004 guidance on process analytic technology (PAT) created a sub-industry focused on “reducing production cycle times by using on-, in-, and/or at-line measurements and controls.” GEN ...
