    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may take the form of an electromagnetic actuator that produces a haptic output during operation. Generally, an electromagnetic coil is wrapped around a central magnet array. A shaft passes through the central magnet array, such that the central array may move along the shaft when the proper force is applied. When a current passes through the electromagnetic coil, the coil generates a magnetic field. The coil is stationary with respect to a housing of the actuator, while the central magnet array may move along the shaft within the housing. Thus, excitation of the coil exerts a force on the central magnet array, which moves in response to that force. The direction of the current through the coil determines the direction of the magnetic field and thus the motion of the central magnet array.

    Abstract: A stylus is disclosed. The stylus includes a shaft; a conductive tip at a distal end of the shaft; and control circuitry coupled to the conductive tip and configured to generate a modulated signal at the conductive tip to identify the stylus. The stylus can also include a switch coupled between the conductive tip and the shaft. The control circuitry can be further configured to control the switch to modulate a conductive path between the conductive tip and the shaft to generate the modulated signal.

    Abstract: An active stylus is disclosed. The stylus (200, 700) includes an electrode at a tip (202, 702) of the stylus; and powered circuitry (206, 706) coupled to the electrode and configured for capacitively coupling the electrode with a capacitive touch sensor panel. The powered circuitry can further include drive circuitry (204) configured to output a drive voltage at the electrode and/or sense circuitry (704) configured to sense a voltage received at the electrode.

    Abstract: Stylus orientation detection is disclosed. In an example, the orientation of a stylus relative to a contacting surface, e.g., a touch panel, can be detected by detecting a capacitance at one or more locations on the stylus relative to the surface, and then using the capacitance(s) to determine the orientation of the stylus relative to the surface. In another example, the orientation of a stylus relative to a contacting surface, e.g., a touch panel, can be detected by first detecting the orientation of the stylus relative to a reference, detecting the orientation of the contacting surface relative to the reference, and then calculating the orientation of the stylus relative to the contacting surface using the two detected orientations.
