This is a very simple touch sensor switch that is build with the 555 timer IC. You just need to touch the metal plate and the relay gets energised and is kept in this state for about 100 seconds, then ...

Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of ...

Imagine a bulletproof iPod. It’s possible with new touch sensors that use resonant sound instead of capacitance. • Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a ...

The success of the capacitive sensor scroll wheel used in devices such as the iPod has caused other consumer product development teams to evaluate capacitive sensors to enhance the user interface and ...

Promising to make mobile devices more user-friendly and energy-efficient, the SFH7740 and SFH7741 surface-mount proximity sensors use distance measurements to detect a device’s operating status ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

NEW YORK, May 28 (UPI) -- New technology soon could transform all objects in a room into touch-sensitive remote control devices, even if they do not run on electricity, French scientists told United ...
