Abstract: A scanning operation is performed to measure a first capacitance of a first sensor arrangement located proximate a capacitive sensor that corresponds to a function of a device. In response to the first capacitance not exceeding a first threshold, the scanning operation measures a second capacitance of the capacitive sensor to create an output used to control the function of the device. In response to the first capacitance exceeding the first threshold, operation of the scanning operation is modified to skip measuring of the second capacitance or to refrain from transmitting the output to a host of the device for controlling the function.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are a rearward-mounted bow sight for use with a bow, such as a compound bow, a bow having a rearward-mounted sight, and a method for mounting a bow sight rearwardly of a bow's riser. The bow has a front side facing away from a user of the bow and a rear side closer to the user of the bow while the user is holding the bow in a shooting position. The bow sight includes a front side and a rear side, such that when the sight is mounted on the bow's riser, the front side of the sight housing is facing the user of the bow while the user is holding the bow in the shooting position, and the rear side of the sight housing is facing away from the user of the bow in the shooting position.
