  • Publication number: 20250068285
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a touch sensitive display with optical touch sensors that are insensitive to the presence of moisture. The optical touch sensors may include light sources and light detectors. Light illuminator and detector angular filters (e.g., masks, baffles) can be employed to limit the illumination and receive angles of emitted and detected light to minimize false object detection. In some examples, light illuminator and detector masks and baffles can be formed during the photodiode component fabrication process. Interference filters may be included over the light sources and/or the light detectors to improve discrimination between a user's finger and water, and may have a greater transmission for light at a first incident angle that is greater than the critical angle of the water/cover interface than at a second incident angle that is less than the critical angle.

  • Patent number: 5223319
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a nonwoven wiper having an oil capacity greater than about 500 percent by weight of oil to the weight of the web. The wiper includes a nonwoven web of fibers having at least one raised surface area which area has an aperture through the web. The fibers generally adjacent the aperture are substantially unconsolidated, i.e., not compacted together or fused.The disclosure also deals with a method of forming such a nonwoven wiper. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a nonwoven web; b) providing a nip roller arrangement including a first roller having a plurality of unheated pins and a second roller having a plurality of corresponding orifices; and c) passing the web through the nip roller arrangement to form a plurality of raised surface areas on the web with each of the surface areas defining an aperture where the fibers generally adjacent the aperture are substantially unconsolidated.
