Some accelerometers use MEMS capacitors etched on a chip to measure the magnitude and path of the acceleration vector. They're used to detect adjustments in acceleration, in tilt sensors, or to detect free fall, as sensors triggering airbag deployment, and in lots of different purposes. Some fingerprint sensors use capacitors. Moreover, a user can modify the pitch of a theremin musical instrument by shifting their hand since this modifications the effective capacitance between the person's hand ...

The cells that interpret data in regards to the environment may be both (1) a neuron that has a free nerve ending, with dendrites embedded in tissue that will obtain a sensation; (2) a neuron that has an encapsulated ending during which the sensory nerve endings are encapsulated in connective tissue that enhances their sensitivity; or (3) a specialised receptor cell, which has distinct structural elements that interpret a selected type of stimulus. The pain and temperature receptors in the dermi...
