Among its many uses, it can be utilised for:</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li><strong style="font-size:11.0pt;">Detection </strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">– for example, a washing machine could conceivably detect if someone accidentally left change in their trouser pockets.</span></li><li><strong style="font-size:11.0pt;">Control</strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> – because of the unique sensitivity of inductive sensors, they could be used in the creation of precision controls.</span></li><li><strong style="font-size:11.0pt;">Input</strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> – rather than have distinct metal keypad with buttons, a flat metal surface with an inductive sensor could perform the same function; this approach implies less parts to go wrong.</span></li><li><strong style="font-size:11.0pt;">Measurement</strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> – these sensors can be used to detect conductive materials in an area or on a person. </span></li></ol><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: sensing, inductive_sensing_challenge, input, detection, control, measurement, inductive</div>
