The supercapacitive behavior of polyaniline/MnO2-carbon black (PANI/MnO2-CB), MnO2-CB nanocompositesand CB was studied. MnO2-CB made by the in situ direct coating method to deposit MnO2 onto CB; then PANI coating was coated on it. Morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform...

This article presents a software tool to automatically generate the mathematical model of capacitive MEMS gyroscopes in a symbolic form. After describing the operational principle of a specific one-axis gyroscope with capacitive drive actuators and capacitive sensors, a mathematical concept is presented that allows for the systematic description of a certain class of capacitive MEMS gyroscopes....

For more than two decades, capacitive sensing has played a prominent role in human-computer interaction research. Capacitive sensing has become ubiquitous on mobile, wearable, and stationary devices—enabling fundamentally new interaction techniques on, above, and around them. The research community has also enabled human position estimation and whole-body gestural interaction in instrumented en...

Projected capacitive touch panels have been widely used in many mobile application systems such as smartphones and tablet PCs. We fabricated projected capacitive-type touch sensors using printed circuit boards. It has equivalent parasitic capacitive loads with a 10” touch panel. In this paper, we discuss projected capacitive touch technologies and their highperformance touch controllers. We int...

In this paper modeling of capacitance and sensitivity for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor is presented. In capacitive sensor the sensitivity is proportional to deflection and capacitance changes versus pressure. Therefore first the diaphragm displacement, capacitance and sensitivity of sensor with square diaphragm have been modeled and then simulated using finite element method (FEM).  It can b...

This paper is focused on a novel design of stepped diaphragm for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor used in tire pressure monitoring system. The structure of sensor diaphragm plays a key role for determining the sensitivity of the sensor and the non-linearity of the output.First the structures of two capacitive pressure sensors with clamped square flatdiaphragms, with different thicknesses are inv...

In this work, a 3D capacitive coupling structure employing periodic pattern was used for application to miniaturized on-chip passive components on MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit). Unlike conventional periodic structure, the characteristic impedance of the 3D capacitive coupling structure was hardly dependent on frequency. Using the 3D capacitive coupling structure, RF passive com...

Low noise position measurement is fundamental for space inertial sensors, and at present the capacitive position sensor is widely employed for space inertial sensors. The design for the possible suppression of the front-end electric noises for a capacitive sensor is presented. A prototype capacitive sensor with 2×10−6pF/Hz1/2 at frequency above 0.04 Hz is achieved and further improvements are d...

Capacitive biosensors belong to the group of affinity biosensors that operate by registering direct binding between the sensor surface and the target molecule. This type of biosensors measures the changes in dielectric properties and/or thickness of the dielectric layer at the electrolyte/electrode interface. Capacitive biosensors have so far been successfully used for detection of proteins, nu...
