Abstract: A multitouch-capable touchscreen is realized in that a large number of pressure sensors are attached under a flexible surface and thus both the pressure distribution and also the deformation of the surface is measured. Local pressure maxima occur due to the flexibility of the surface material with associated deformation on contact. As several local pressure maxima can exist, it is thus also possible to identify a plurality of contacts simultaneously. It is possible from the strength of pressure and pressure distribution to determine the force that is used for pressing such that this information can also be used in the user interface. Such sensors can be produced very efficiently and inexpensively by printing an ink that changes its resistance under pressure onto PCB tracks designed as sensor surfaces. The PCB tracks and the sensor surfaces can also be printed out using an ink with as low a resistance as possible.

Abstract: A pressure sensor grid can comprise a plurality of bottom wires, arranged substantially parallel to each other and overlaid by a plurality of top wires arranged substantially perpendicular to the bottom wires. Each intersection of the top and bottom wires includes a pressure sensor. The sensor comprises a switching junction situated between the bottom wire and the top wire and a conducting channel extending through the switching junction from the bottom wire to the top wire. Pressure applied to the top wire causes an increase in conductance between the bottom wire and the top wire.

Abstract: A resistive multi-point touch device and method is disclosed. A plurality of wires intersect each other to form a plurality of intersecting regions. The intersecting wires are separated from each other by a plurality of insulating particles. First, suppressed intersecting regions are sensed, and then contact points on the suppressed intersecting regions are sensed based on the suppressed intersecting regions. Sensing of the suppressed intersecting regions is performed by first sensing suppressed wires, and then determining possibly suppressed intersecting regions based on the suppressed wires, and sensing suppressed intersecting regions based on these possibly suppressed intersecting regions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the electrical resistance of an electrical supply lead to sensor elements and concerns a sensor arrangement. The sensor elements are interconnected to form a sensor arrangement, and the electrical total resistance of the supply lead to the sensor elements is determined by effecting a measurement involving an electrical component. The electrical total resistance of the supply lead to the sensor elements is compared to a reference value, whereby the reference value is the value of the electrical total resistance of a reference component of the circuit arrangement and of its electrical leads. The reference value is also determined by effecting a measurement.
