  • Publication number: 20260018150
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and techniques are described for providing improved multi-axis capacitive touch sensing. An example method includes facilitating the operation of a set of multi-axis capacitive touch sensors based on a sensor measurement phasing procedure. The example method further includes executing a hybrid velocity-noise rejection procedure that comprises determining whether a touch input has occurred with respect to a respective multi-axis capacitive touch sensor, as well as determining a velocity of the touch input. The example method further includes executing a touch input location detection procedure that comprises determining a location of the touch input and generating, based on one or more of the velocity of the touch input or the location of the touch input, a set of control signals. The example method further includes providing the set of control signals to one or more electronic devices to facilitate the control of the one or more electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20090032547
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a three button actuated pill holder/dispenser are provided. Such a pill holder/dispenser may include a housing comprising a plurality of apertures, a top button and two side buttons. In response to actuation of the top button, a pill may be dispensed from the pill holder/dispenser. Preferably, the two side buttons, which may project through the apertures, lock the top button, such that the top button may only be actuated when the two side buttons are depressed. Alternatively, some other sequence of the buttons may be implemented to cause a pill to be actuated. Additionally, the pill holder/dispenser may be packaged in a sealable package.

  • Publication number: 20090032546
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a pill bottle including an internal and external sleeve are provided. A pill bottle according to the invention may include an external sleeve and an internal sleeve. The internal sleeve preferably includes a cavity for holding pills. The external sleeve is slidably coupled to the internal sleeve. The external sleeve may include a groove and the internal sleeve may include a projection that may slide within the groove. The groove may prevent substantial rotation of the external sleeve with respect to the internal sleeve by preventing a substantial rotational of the projection with respect to the groove.
