Abstract: Disclosed is, among other things, a storage system for a razor or razor cartridge that may contain at least one exposed sharp edge of a blade. The system may include a blade cover component that may attach to the razor or razor cartridge such that the at least one exposed sharp edge of the blade is covered. The storage system may also include a container and an insert that may be removably placed within the container or may be attached to the container. The insert may include at least one slot that may be fitted to at least a portion of the razor or razor cartridge. For example, the razor cartridge may contain a storage connection component that may be fitted to the size/shape of the slot. In this way, the razor cartridge may be stabilized by inserting the storage connection component of the razor cartridge into the slot. Also, the container, insert, or blade cover component may be constructed using recycled or biodegradable material.

Abstract: Described is a razor with a removable cartridge. The cartridge may attach to a handle magnetically or via another fastening technique, and may include a rigid mechanical structure that may not obstruct any water flowing through the cartridge when rinsing it. This may improve rinsing away clogs around the blades, hair, lotions, or other items, which may reduce the effectiveness of the razor and potentially lead to issues such as razor burns or razor rash.

Abstract: Described is a razor with a removable cartridge. The handle may be ergonomically designed, and the cartridge may be held in place with magnetic components, which may be situated around the periphery of the cartridge or may be configured in a Halbach array arrangement.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with non-uniform patterns are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes. The first set of electrodes intersect the second set of electrodes to form a unit cells each corresponding to an intersection of a pair of electrodes comprising one electrode from the first set and one electrode from the second set. At one of the second set of electrodes includes a non-uniform conductive pattern including a first region being located at the intersection of the respective unit cell and a distal region being at a location within the respective unit cell that is farther away from the intersection than the first region. The first region includes a first conductive surface area and the distal region includes a second conductive surface area that is greater than the first conductive surface area.

Abstract: Embodiments of a capacitive sensor array may comprise a plurality of large sensor electrodes and, for each of the large sensor electrodes, a first plurality of small sensor electrodes each capacitively coupled with the large sensor electrode, and each conductively coupled by one of a first set of routing traces to one of a first set of conductors located in a first edge region, and a second plurality of small sensor electrodes capacitively coupled with the large sensor electrode and conductively coupled by a second set of routing traces to a second set of conductors in a second edge region. The first set of routing traces is located in a first routing channel and the second set of routing traces is located in a second routing channel, where the first and second routing channels are located along different sides of the large sensor electrode.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of adaptive resolution circuits are described. One apparatus includes an input node coupled to a capacitance sense pin coupled to an electrode of a sense array and a capacitance-sensing circuit coupled to the input node and comprising an integrator configured to measure a capacitance with a first resolution. An adaptive resolution circuit is coupled to the capacitance-sensing circuit and the input node and is configured to selectively modify an integration capacitance of the integrator to set the integrator to measure the capacitance with a second resolution.

Abstract: Embodiments of a capacitive sensor array may comprise a large sensor electrode and a plurality of small sensor electrodes, including a first small sensor electrode, a second small sensor electrode, and a third small sensor electrode. The large sensor electrode and the plurality of small sensor electrodes may be formed from a single layer of conductive material. The first small sensor electrode may be located on the same lateral side of the large sensor electrode as the second small sensor electrode, may be consecutive with the second small sensor electrode in a spatial order of the small sensor electrodes along a longitudinal axis of the large sensor electrode, and may be located on an opposite lateral side of the large sensor electrode from the third small sensor electrode. For each small sensor electrode of the plurality of small sensor electrodes, at least a portion of the small sensor electrode may be located between two interior points of the large sensor electrode.
