@Rob: I have no idea. I tried to get some extra information on the web but no luck on that yet....

@Longinus: I heard about another great invention for that... It was called 'knife' I think. :-)

It's a really interesting technique. I found this:

"The system induces an electrical signal onto the blade and then monitors that signal for changes. The human body has a relatively large inherent electrical capacitance and conductivity which cause the signal to drop when a person contacts the blade. Wood has a relatively small inherent capacitance and conductivity and does not cause the signal to drop.
