Patent number: 10200033Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a first mesh of conductive material covering an area corresponding to at least a portion of the touch sensor. The first mesh includes a number of mesh cells. Each of the mesh cells has a number of vertices. Each of the vertices has a substantially randomized location within an inner portion of one of a number of polygons. The polygons collectively and contiguously covers the area corresponding to at least a portion of the touch sensor. One or more dimensions of the polygons is based at least in part on a pre-determined distance threshold between one or more pairs of opposing vertices. The apparatus also includes a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium coupled to the touch sensor and embodying logic that is configured when executed to control the touch sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Atmel CorporationInventors: Neerja Saran, Heather Atkinson, Kevan Doyle
