摘要： Two different sets of electrodes in a touch sensitive device are formed to produce an electric field gradient from one end of the electrodes to the other end when opposite ends of the electrodes are driven with different voltages. A signal measuring cycle is performed by alternately driving the ends of one set of electrodes, while using the other set of electrodes to receive signals. The roles of the sets of electrodes are then reversed, such that the set that was driven is now used to receive signals from the other set of electrodes. Reference signals may be obtained by driving both sides of one set of electrodes, and then both sides of the other set of electrodes. The signals obtained are then used to determine the touch position on the touch sensitive device.

摘要： Apparatus and methods are described for selecting which of a plurality of simultaneously activated keys in a keyboard based on an array of capacitive sensors is a key intended for selection by a user. Combinations of keys which are commonly activated simultaneously when a user intends to select a single key are identified and associated with the single keys most likely to give rise to the identified combinations during normal use of the keyboard. In use, an observed combination of simultaneously activated keys is compared with predefined combinations of keys corresponding to those identified as being commonly activated simultaneously. If the combination of activated keys matches one of the predefined combinations, the most likely intended key associated with the matched one of the predefined combination of keys is taken to be most likely intended key.

摘要： An apparatus for testing the integrity of a conductive element (8) on a substrate (4) is described. The apparatus comprises a ground electrode (14) coupled to a system reference potential (18) and adjacent to the conductive element so as to provide a capacitive coupling between the conductive element and the ground electrode (14); a drive channel (D) operable to apply a drive signal to the conductive element at a first location; a test electrode (16) adjacent to the conductive element at a second location so as to form a capacitive coupling between the conductive element and the test electrode (16) in the region of the second location; and a sense channel (S) operable to measure a component of the drive signal coupled to the test electrode.

摘要： A two-dimensional position sensor is formed by drive electrodes (52) and sense electrodes (62, 64, 66) both extending in the x-direction and interleaved in the y- direction. The sense electrodes comprise several groups, two of which co-extend in the x-direction over each different portions of extent in the x-direction. The drive and sense electrodes are additionally arranged to capacitively couple with each other. In use, drive signals are applied to the drive electrodes and then the resultant sense signals received from the sense electrodes measured. The position of a touch or stylus actuation on the sensor is determined in the x- and y-directions as follows, m the x- direction, the position is determined by an interpolation between sense signals obtained from co-extending pairs of sense electrodes, and in the y-direction by interpolation between sense signals obtained from different sequences of drive signals applied to the drive electrodes.
