Patent number: 8382357Abstract: A light-transmissive substrate includes an arrangement of penetrations extending from one surface of the substrate toward another surface of the substrate. The penetrations are configured to attenuate or inhibit transmission of light through the substrate from one side of the arrangement of penetrations to the other side of the arrangement of penetrations.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: TouchSensor Technologies, LLCInventors: Deron Stambaugh, Anthony Russo

Patent number: 8212639Abstract: A haptic feedback system includes movable and static portions coupled by one or more magnetic fields that serve to retard movement of the movable portion with respect to the static portion so as to provide haptic feedback when the movable portion is moved relative to the static portion. A magnet associated with one of the movable and static portions reacts with structure associated with the other of the movable and static portions so as to provide haptic feedback when the movable portion is moved with respect to the static portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: TouchSensor Technologies, LLCInventors: John North, Deron Stambaugh

Publication number: 20100259497Abstract: A user interface includes a user interface substrate and an associated integrated sensing electrode and backlight mask in the form of an opaque material having an aperture or otherwise light-transmissive portion therein. The integrated sensing electrode and backlight mask is positioned between the user interface substrate and a light source, such that indicia in the form of the aperture is visible at a surface of the user interface substrate when the light source is illuminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2010Publication date: October 14, 2010Applicant: TOUCHSENSOR TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Andrew Livingston, Mark Burleson, Deron Stambaugh

Publication number: 20100253653Abstract: A virtual knob interface includes a substrate, a virtual knob associated with the substrate, and a number of touch sensors associated with the substrate and with the virtual knob. The virtual knob and touch sensor are configured and arranged such that the touch sensors detect manipulation of the virtual knob by a user. The knob can be removable from the substrate. Features can be provided to disable control of a device or function controlled by the knob when the knob has been removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2010Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: TOUCHSENSOR TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Deron Stambaugh, Mark Mathews, Mark Burleson

Patent number: 7692933Abstract: A stand-off having a flange and a projecting portion extending from the flange is integrated with a first substrate, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB), by forming a hole in the PCB, inserting the projecting portion of the stand-off through the hole, and attaching a second substrate to the first substrate with the flange therebetween. The flange can be at least partially received by a relief formed in one of the substrates or in an aperture in an adhesive layer between the two substrates. The stand-off can be further secured to the PCB using one or more of adhesives, interference fit techniques, snap-assembly features, and other applicable techniques. Alternatively, the stand-off can be attached to a substrate using a sliding snap feature or sliding interference fit. An attachable component can be attached to the projecting portion of the stand-off.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: TouchSensor Technologies, LLCInventors: Donald Mueller, Deron Stambaugh, Anthony Russo
