Abstract: A device may include a first set of electrodes; a second set of electrodes transversely oriented from the first set of electrodes; and a processor and memory, where the memory has programmed instructions to cause the processor, when executed to: activate a first portion of electrodes in the first set, measure a first resulting capacitance from activating the first portion of electrodes with at least some electrodes of the second set, activate a second portion of electrodes in the second set, and measure a second resulting capacitance from activating the second portion of electrodes with at least some electrodes of the first set.

Abstract: Touch sensor systems and methods are disclosed including a radio frequency antenna that can be placed on or very near the touch pad. The touch pad sensor includes a patterned shielding that shields the touch pad sensor from back-side signals and has opening that are large enough to allow radio frequencies to pass through the touch pad sensor.

Abstract: A computing device may include a keyboard, a switch in mechanical communication with an underside of a key arranged in the keyboard, a processor, a transmit line electrically connected to the processor, a sense line electrically connected to the processor, and the transmit line and the sense line are selectively connectable through the switch when the key is depressed, memory in communication with the processor, and programmed instructions stored in the memory that, when executed, cause the processor to identify changes in capacitance from the sense line when the key is not depressed, identify a hand gesture performed proximate the keyboard based on the changes in capacitance, and execute an action based on at least one the identification of the hand gesture.

Abstract: A portable electronic device may include a battery assembly and a battery swell detection unit in proximity to the battery assembly. The battery swell detection unit may include an electrode, a dome made of an electrically conductive material positioned between the battery assembly and the electrode, a processor, and memory having programmed instructions that cause the processor, when executed, to detect battery swelling based on a depression of the dome.
