Abstract: An electronic device includes a pressure sensor and a processor. The pressure sensor is disposed within an interior volume of the electronic device and configured to generate a time-dependent sequence of measurements related to a force applied to the electronic device. The processor is configured to characterize, using at least the time-dependent sequence of measurements, a venting state of the interior volume. In some embodiments, the electronic device may also include a capacitive force sensor disposed to detect distortion of the interior volume. A second time-dependent sequence of measurements related to the force may be generated by the capacitive force sensor, and used by the processor to characterize the venting state of the interior volume.

Abstract: A touch screen or touch sensor panel can detect touches by conductive objects (e.g., fingers) and an active stylus and can mitigate noise in the sensed stylus signal from multiple noise sources. In some examples, the touch sensor panel includes a plurality of touch electrodes that can be used to sense touch data indicative of a proximate conductive object and to sense stylus data. The stylus data can include noise from one or more sources, for example. In some examples, the electronic device uses the touch data to determine a characteristic of one of the sources of noise and the stylus data to determine another characteristic of the source of noise and one or more characteristics of another source of noise. After modeling the noise, the electronic device can remove the noise from the stylus data to improve the accuracy of the stylus scan.
