Abstract: A touch sensor system. The touch sensor system may include a touch sensor configured to provide an output in response to contact with a touch area, a controller coupled to the touch sensor and configured to provide a code representative of the output and a memory coupled to the controller. The memory may be configured to receive and store the code in a first time interval and to provide the code in a second time interval wherein the second time interval begins after the first time interval ends. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.

Abstract: A touch sensor assembly. The touch sensor assembly may include a housing, at least one touch sensor and a sensor cover. The sensor cover may identify a touch area associated with each touch sensor. The housing may form a water tight cavity for the sensor cover and the touch sensor when coupled to an housing cover. A raised dome may be provided, e.g. on the sensor cover or another element, to provided tactile feed back. LEDs may be provided for illuminating the touch areas and/or sensing ambient light. A controller may control the illumination level of the LEDs in response to sensed ambient light. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.

Abstract: A housing structure including a manually engageable handle for enabling a user to portably operate the device and a nosepiece portion disposed forwardly thereof. Extending rearwardly from the nosepiece portion is a magazine assembly which together with the nosepiece define a drive track therebetween. A fastener driving element is slidably mounted in the drive track. Power operated means for moving the fastener driving element are provided within the drive track moving the fastener driving element through successive operative cycles each including a drive stroke in one direction and a return stroke in an opposite direction. The magazine assembly includes a fastener stick receiving feed track and means for biasing a stick of fasteners in the feed track to move a leading fastener of the stick into the drive track to be driven therefrom during the drive stroke of the fastener driving element into a workpiece.
