  • Patent number: 9772722
    Abstract: A method can include determining an initial position of an object with respect to a sensing region formed by a plurality of sensors and having a core region bounded by at least one edge; if the initial position is proximate to the edge and a size of the object was previously calculated, determining a final edge position of the object using the previously calculated object size; and if the initial position is proximate to the edge and the size of the object was not previously calculated, determining a size of the object.

  • Patent number: 9360972
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a sensing area including a sensor matrix, a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is coupled to a first sensor of the sensor matrix and is configured to be coupled to a sensing module. The second conductor is coupled to a second sensor of the sensor matrix and is configured to be coupled to the sensing module. In embodiments, the first sensor consumes a first area, the second sensor and a length of the first conductor reside within a second area that is smaller than or equal to the first area consumed by the first sensor, and the length of the first conductor is routed between an edge of the sensing area and the second sensor.
