One capacitive-sense array includes a repeating pattern having a first conductive element with a first polygon shape and a first width defined along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; a second conductive element having a second polygon shape and a second width defined along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; a third conductive element having the first polygon shape and the first width defined along a fourth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; and a fourth conductive element having the second polygon shape and the second width defined along a fifth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.

Abstract: A capacitive sensor array may include a plurality of row sensor electrodes and a column sensor electrode capacitively coupled with each of the plurality of row sensor electrodes to form a plurality of unit cells. For each row sensor electrode, a unit cell that is associated with the column sensor electrode and the row sensor electrode comprises an area where a capacitance between the column sensor electrode and the row sensor electrode is greater than any other capacitance between the column sensor electrode and a different row sensor electrode. The capacitive sensor array further includes a first plurality of dummy electrodes, where each of the first plurality of dummy electrodes is capacitively coupled with the column sensor electrode and two adjacent row sensor electrodes of the plurality of row sensor electrodes.

Abstract: Techniques for designs of single-layer touch sensors are described herein. In an example embodiment, a device comprises a sensor array. The sensor array comprises first plurality of electrodes and second plurality of electrodes that are interleaved without intersecting each other within a touch-sensing area in a single layer on a substrate of the sensor array. A first electrode (of the first or second plurality) comprises at least two shaped portions. The two shaped portions may be disposed across at least a portion of a given second electrode from each other, or may be disposed between two or more portions of the given second electrode. The two shaped portions of the first electrode are routed in different directions on the substrate and are coupled to each other outside of the touch-sensing area of the sensor array.

Abstract: A sensor array that has first electrodes, second electrodes and third electrodes formed from a single layer of conductive material and interleaved without intersecting one another, in which each first electrode is coupled with at least one of the second electrodes via a mutual capacitance. Some of the third electrodes are disposed between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. All electrodes are interleaved without intersecting one another.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with interleaving sense elements are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a repeating pattern of conductive elements disposed along a first axis. The repeating pattern includes a first conductive element comprising a first polygon shape with a first width defined along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and a second conductive element that is electrically coupled to and co-planar with the first conductive element. The second conductive element includes a second polygon shape with a second width defined along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis. The repeating pattern also includes third and fourth conductive elements that are electrically coupled to and co-planar with the first and second conductive elements. The third conductive element includes the first shape and the fourth conductive element includes the second shape.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with interleaving sense elements are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed adjacent to the first electrode in a first axis. The capacitive-sense array comprises a sensor pitch in the first axis. The first electrode includes a first sense element including a first shape and a first interleaving sense element that interleaves with a first portion and a second portion of the second electrode to extend a first dimension of the first electrode to be greater than the sensor pitch in the first axis. The second electrode includes a second sense element including the first shape and a second interleaving sense element that interleaves with a first portion and a second portion of the first electrode to extend a second dimension of the second electrode to be greater than the sensor pitch in the first axis.

Abstract: Systems and methods and techniques are disclosed for determining the position and size of an object touching a touch-sensitive display. One embodiment may comprise a set of reference templates—where each reference template is a model and/or data associated with a reference object of a given size. The reference templates may be determined on a priori basis—possibly created during a training phase for the touch display system. The training phase may be performed by stepping an object across a touch display and noting its actuation signal—while the modeling step may be performed by calculating actuation signals based on a model of objects of a given size. With an actual object, its position and size may be determined, calculated and/or estimated by solving a set of inverse finger response functions—e.g., as a set of over-determined linear equations.

Abstract: The invention allows video cameras in night clubs, so people can see the action from the Internet and pick which club to go to. It keeps club goers from wasting gas, driving from club to club only to find that they don't like the atmosphere.
