Abstract: A touch sensor includes a first area and a second area; first electrode units comprising a plurality of first touch electrodes arranged in a first direction and electrically connected to one another and located in the first area; second electrode units comprising a plurality of second touch electrodes arranged in a second direction and electrically connected to one another and located in the first area; and a first electrode pattern comprising a first portion located in the first area and electrically connected to one of the first electrode units that is adjacent thereto, and a second portion extended from the first portion to the second area, wherein a width of the first electrode pattern in the first direction is less than a width of the first touch electrodes in the first direction and is greater than half the width of the first touch electrodes.

Abstract: Some implementations include electronic devices having space efficient component configurations. In some instances, an electronic device may include an electronic display, a light source, and a lightguide having one or more reflective surfaces. This disclosure describes, in part, configurations of these and other components that create opportunities for efficiently using space associated with the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a disk drive coupler for reducing particulates in a disk drive. In some embodiments, the disk drive includes a first component having a top surface and a bottom surface, the first component defining an aperture with an interior surface between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a channel on at least one of the top surface, the bottom surface, and the interior surface. In some embodiments, the disk drive coupler includes a fastener configured to be received within the aperture and is configured to secure the first component to a second component. The channel is configured to permit the drawing of air from at least one of the aperture, the top surface, and the bottom surface of the first component before and after the fastener secures the first component to the second component.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel optical recording medium which is a multi-layered body comprising: (a) a substrate disk of a transparent material; (b) a first protective layer formed on one surface of the substrate disk; (c) a recording layer formed on the first protective layer, which is made from a material capable of causing a change in the optical properties in response to light or heat; (d) a second protective layer formed on the recording layer; (e) a transmissivity-controlling layer formed on the second protective layer, which is made from a material capable of reversibly and continuously causing a change in the optical properties in response to light or heat at a speed higher than the speed of changes in the recording layer; and, optionally, (f) a third protective layer formed on the transmissivity-controlling layer. Method and apparatus for recording of signals and reproduction of recorded signals by using the above defined optical recording medium are also disclosed.
