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 ...

The touch sensor can be constructed using a small piece of a printed circuit board ( two small tracks with a 2 mm distance between each other ) . This circuit is powered using a 12 volts DC power ...

To achieve this invisibility the touch sensor circuit lines must be printed in sizes smaller than 5 microns. To give you a comparative example a human hair is 40 to 120 microns wide.

TEST CIRCUIT AND PCB One example of a water-tolerant touchsensing system is based on Cypress Semiconductor’s CY8C21434 PSoC chip . 2 This design includes three touch sensors that are labeled ...

So far the circuit layout of a multi-touch sensor has been similar to graph paper. The wires run horizontally, vertically, and parallel to each other.

Capacitive touch sensing allows for triggering the sensor without actually physically touching one’s lips to the electrodes, which [Nathan] did by putting a clear plastic layer over the PCB traces.

But if you were looking for even more proof that Apple is at least exploring the idea of a bezel-less iPhone with a Touch ID sensor built into the screen, there you have it.

This sensor sends signals through the second component -- a flexible electronic neuron. The touch sensor and electronic neuron are improved versions of inventions previously reported by the Bao lab.

A sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away without needing to touch them physically has been developed. It could provide a ...
