    Abstract: A device may include a capacitance sensor; an overlay positioned near the capacitance sensor, the overlay including a touch surface opposite to an underside of the overlay, where the underside is positioned near the capacitance sensor; a controller; memory in communication with the controller and including programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the controller to detect a proximity value of an object with a capacitance sensor, where a touch surface is located between the capacitance sensor and the object; determine a planar radial distance of the object away from a predetermined location on the touch surface; and change the proximity value based, at least in part, on the planar radial distance.

    Abstract: A touch sensor may include a substrate, a drive electrode on the substrate, a sense electrode on the substrate, and a deformable snap member disposed over the drive electrode and the sense electrode. The deformable snap member may include a deflectable metal material. When the metal material flexes from a resting position, a change in capacitance between the drive electrode and the sense electrode may be detectable.

    Abstract: A device may include a first set of electrodes, a second set of electrodes that is transverse the first set, and at least one connection between an electrode in the first set to an electrode in the second set by a high pass filter. The connected electrode(s) in the first set and the connected electrode(s) in the second set may form an antenna. The device may include a processor and memory. The memory may store programmed instructions which cause the processor, when executed, to transmit a wireless signal using the connected electrodes during a first time, and measure a capacitance signal using electrodes in the first set and electrodes in the second set during a second time.

    Abstract: A device may include a pressure sensor; a user interface including an input surface opposite to an underside of the user interface, where the underside is positioned near the pressure sensor; a controller; memory in communication with the controller and comprising programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the controller to detect a lower pressure input, simultaneously detect a higher pressure input, calculate a pressure differential between the lower pressure input and the higher pressure input, and move an object depicted in a display in communication with the controller based on the pressure differential.

    Abstract: A capacitance module may include a substrate, a set of electrodes formed on the substrate where a first generally linear electrode of the set may be aligned with a second generally linear electrode of the set; a controller in communication with the set of electrodes; and memory having programmed instructions configured to cause the controller, when executed, to measure a change in capacitance; and determine a tilt of an object in proximity to the substrate based, in part, on the measured change in capacitance.
