Abstract: A force-sensitive touch sensor detects location and force of touches applied to the sensor. Movement of an object touching the force-sensitive touch sensor correlates to movement of a pointer on a display device. Varying levels of force applied to the force-sensitive touch sensor are interpreted as different commands. Objects displayed on the display device can be manipulated by a combination of gestures across a surface of the force-sensitive touch sensor and changes in force applied to the force-sensitive touch sensor.

Abstract: A hardware enabled interpolating sensor allows for anti-aliased acquisition of data. Electrodes coupled with resistive material are disposed on either side of a transducer material, such that an impinging signal varies the electrical characteristics of the transducer material. A controller scans the electrodes and analyzes the variation in the electrical characteristics to generate data. Based upon the known characteristics of the resistive material, an interpolated image is generated from the data which is inherently anti-aliased. Additionally, an interpolating display comprising electrodes disposed on either side of an emission material is described, which allows for emission regions of varying intensity, area, and so forth.

Abstract: Components such as touch sensors, antennas, and so forth may use arrays of elements to form operational components. Disposition of such an array between the user and a display device, pre-printed image, and so forth may result in moiré patterns or other unpleasant visual distractions. Visually consistent arrays utilize conductive mesh regions which are less visible than larger individual conductors. Non-conductive regions may be formed within an otherwise conductive mesh by introducing breaks in the conductive elements comprising the mesh. Additionally, in some implementations the non-conductive regions provide additional mechanical support.
