Editor's Notes
The MLS is composed by a group of electrodes alternating between the so called Transmitters and receivers, here we analyze as an example a transmitter and receiver pair. The Transmitter electrodes is activated with a certain voltage and if a wetting and conducting layer covers also the receiver electrode, the amount of current that flows is proportional to the layer thickness.
