Stuff that sticks to the sides of the container makes accurate level measurements difficult. The LMT Series from ifm efector specifically addresses this problem for viscous media and powders in food and beverage processing tanks and pipes. High frequency (MHz) capacitive spectrum profiling technology enables the sensor to ignore foam and deposit build-up and differentiate […]

2010 Embedded Systems Conference Chicago Exhibitor: Microchip Technology Touch Screen Sensing
Held in conjunction with Sensors Expo, I found an interesting sensor application in the exhibits at the 2010 Embedded Systems Conference Chicago. Cassandra Backus from Microchip Technology explained the company’s mTouch projected capacitive touch (PCT) screen sensing technology. With a higher resolution than resistive technology, the PCT approach has found its way into many of […]
