Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for capacitive proximity sensors of vehicle doors. An example vehicle includes an outer surface layer, sheet metal for providing rigidity, a low dielectric layer, and a capacitive sensor. The capacitive sensor includes a receiving layer positioned between the outer surface layer and the low dielectric layer and the sheet metal that functions as a transmitting layer. The low dielectric layer separates the receiving layer and the sheet metal.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle comprising:\n a door including:\n an outer surface layer; \n sheet metal for providing rigidity; \n a low dielectric layer; and \n a capacitive sensor including:\n a receiving layer positioned between the outer surface layer and the low dielectric layer; and \n the sheet metal that functions as a transmitting layer, \n wherein the low dielectric layer separates the receiving layer and the sheet metal, \n wherein the low dielectric layer includes ribs that define air pockets positioned between the receiving layer and the sheet metal.
