Abstract: A capacitive touch panel is tested for the presence or absence of short and open circuits in drive and sense lines without the use of a tool that touches the surface of the panel. During a first stage of testing, drive lines of the touch panel are sequentially driven while the remaining drive lines are floated. Sense lines are read to indicate whether a driven drive line is shorted to an adjacent drive line, an open circuit, or coupled to a sense line that is an open circuit. During a second stage of testing, drive lines are driven while alternate sense lines are floated or enabled. The signals on the enabled sense lines are acquired to indicate whether the enabled sense lines are shorted to adjacent sense lines. This second stage can be repeated, switching the roles of the sense lines, to determine the locations of short and/or open circuits.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for discovering communication devices. The method includes broadcasting, with a first communication device, a message that can be detected by one-hop neighbors. The first communication device listens for data indicating that it has at least one two-hop neighbor, and constructs and stores a list of its one-hop and two-hop neighbors. In addition, the method may also include selecting a subset of the set of one-hop neighbors such that all of the two-hop neighbors of the first communication device can be reached by the first communication device through the subset of one-hop neighbors. Then the selected subset is stored on a list on the first communication device. Next, the first communication device broadcasts to one-hop neighbors in the selected subset, the data indicating that a one-hop neighbor is part of the selected subset. The method also allows the discovery of multi-hop neighbors by utilizing the selected subset.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for an extensible robotic device with artificial intelligence and receptive to training controls. In one implementation, a modular robotic system that allows a user to fully select the architecture and capability set of their robotic device is disclosed. The user may add/remove modules as their respective functions are required/obviated. In addition, the artificial intelligence is based on a neuronal network (e.g., spiking neural network), and a behavioral control structure that allows a user to train a robotic device in manner conceptually similar to the mode in which one goes about training a domesticated animal such as a dog or cat (e.g., a positive/negative feedback training paradigm) is used. The trainable behavior control structure is based on the artificial neural network, which simulates the neural/synaptic activity of the brain of a living organism.

Abstract: A capacitive touch panel includes sense electrodes arranged next to one another and drive electrodes arranged next to one another across the sense electrodes. The drive electrodes and the sense electrodes define a coordinate system where each coordinate location comprises a capacitor formed at a junction between one of the drive electrodes and one of the sense electrodes via mutual capacitance between the electrodes. The drive electrodes are configured to receive a first signal from a driver coupled with the drive electrodes for powering the drive electrodes to sense passive input to the capacitive touch panel at each coordinate location. Passive input can also be sensed via self-capacitance of the capacitive touch panel sensors. The drive electrodes and the sense electrodes are configured to receive a second signal from an active stylus to sense active input to the capacitive touch panel at each coordinate location.
