Abstract:
An apparatus for liquid sensing includes a drive electrode and a sense electrode disposed on a substrate in a side-by-side relationship. A dielectric layer overlies the sense electrode. A shield electrode disposed on the dielectric layer overlies the sense electrode. The shield electrode is driven to the same potential as the sense electrode. A controller coupled to the drive electrode and the sense electrode provides an excitation signal to the drive electrode and detects capacitance between the drive electrode and the sense electrode.

Claim (Index 15):
The sensor of  claim 1  further comprising an additional shield electrode overlying said drive electrode and spaced therefrom by an intervening insulating layer.
