Abstract:
An electrode of a touch position sensing panel has a light-transmitting conductor and an auxiliary conductor connected to the light-transmitting conductor.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a touch sensor has a first edge and a second edge approximately perpendicular to the first edge. The touch sensor includes a first plurality of electrodes approximately parallel to the first edge, a second plurality of electrodes approximately parallel to the second edge, and a first plurality of nodes. Each of the first plurality of nodes are formed by a capacitive coupling between an electrode of the first plurality of electrodes and an electrode of the second plurality of electrodes. The touch sensor further includes a third plurality of electrodes and a second node formed by the third plurality of electrodes. Each of the third plurality of electrodes form a portion of the second node by a self-capacitance coupling. At least one of the portions of the second node is positioned in-between at least two of the first plurality of nodes.

According to one embodiment, a touch sensor has a first edge and a second edge approximately perpendicular to the first edge. The touch sensor includes a first plurality of electrodes approximately parallel to the first edge, and a second plurality of electrodes. Each of the second plurality of electrodes has a spine that is approximately parallel to the second edge and a plurality of conductive elements that are approximately parallel to the first edge and in physical contact with the spine. At least one electrode of the second plurality of electrodes is adjacent to the second edge. The touch sensor further includes a plurality of nodes. Each node is formed by a capacitive coupling between an electrode of the first plurality of electrodes and an electrode of the second plurality of electrodes. The capacitance of each node is approximately the same.

Abstract:
A product display includes an elongated member having at least one channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the length of the member, a product support engaged with the elongated member, and a product divider engaged with the elongated member. At least one of the product support and the product divider is at least partially received within the channel. The product support and the product divider are independently movable relative to one another along the length of the elongated member to adjust the respective positions of the product support and the product divider relative to the elongated member.
Abstract:
A spring fastener, which comprises two engagement springs in opposite sides of the fastener. Each engagement spring has an engagement portion comprising a hindrance portion, which increases considerably the removal to insertion force ratio as compared to such ratio when the engagement portion does not have the hindrance portion, thus permitting very easy insertion into, with considerably more difficult removal of the fastener from the slot of a panel.

Abstract:
A hybrid design between manual and electric toothbrush technology with a mechanical rotation or manual brushing action. Brush or polishing units on the toothbrush head are rotated and counter rotated many times when activated by a spring loaded lever but when the lever is locked, the toothbrush allows a conventional manual operation. Permutations of rotary or rectangular brush or polishing units can be used on the same head. The brush units consist of bristle clusters surrounded by a ring of elastomeric nodes suspended over a cavity which moulds to teeth contours. The brush unit design is also shown applied to a manual toothbrush handle. The force applied to the lever allows variable rotation, and when slowly rotating, the bristles on the brush units can search into deep contours of teeth and gum surfaces especially at difficult to reach rear corners of teeth, rather than skipping over them at high speed.
