Abstract: A projected capacitive touch sensor includes a sensor grid. The sensor grid includes one or more electrically conductive rows arranged in an at least partially transparent row layer. The sensor grid includes one or more electrically conductive columns arranged in an at least partially transparent column layer that is spaced apart from the row layer. The projected capacitive touch sensor includes a border region that surrounds at least a portion of the sensor grid. The border region includes a wired bus region that includes a row bus that extends from the one or more electrically conductive rows and a column bus that extends from the one or more electrically conductive columns. The projected capacitive touch sensor includes one or more connectors that are electrically connected to the row bus and the column bus. The wired bus region is configured to fold over an edge of a borderless display.

Abstract: A capacitive touch sensor is described. The touch sensor includes a sensor grid that includes a trace that has a trace start point and end point, is electrically conductive between the trace start point and the trace end point, is formed in one or more pairs of trace cells that each include a first trace cell and a second trace cell that is rotationally symmetrical to the first trace cell. The trace start point and the trace end point define a trace axis. A trace direction is defined from the trace start point to the trace end point. A trace-perpendicular direction is defined as being perpendicular to the trace direction. A segment of the trace that is formed in the first trace cell includes a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion, a fifth portion, a sixth portion, a seventh portion, and an eighth portion.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter refers to a method and device for low latency multipoint control and detection applied to, for example, a capacitive grid. The grid includes or consists of a series of conductive microfilaments, placed between two transparent plates or layers, arranged in interconnected rows and columns forming a matrix. The electromagnetic field reading enables the detection of objects which are in the vicinity of or in contact therewith. The disclosed subject matter shows high sensitivity enabling the detection of electrically-loaded air and/or vapour, more specifically the detection of intensity, direction and location of an expelled air or vapour mass, also providing a simultaneous touch detection. The disclosed subject matter is useful in boosting interaction capacities between systems and users, the invention being also possibly applied in detection/interaction systems (either simultaneous, or not).
