摘要:
An instruction inputting device detects input operations in the XY plane and in a rotational direction on a hemispherical input operation surface. Four detection electrodes insulated from each other are formed at 90° intervals around the Z axis of the hemisphere, on the surface of a spherical crown-shaped insulator. Surface areas of each of the detection electrodes decrease moving toward an apex P on the Z axis and moving in a circumferential direction away from the positions at which the 90° intervals are formed. As a result, the surface areas of the detection electrodes facing an object to be detected for causing the input operation differ depending on the positioning of the object, thereby causing differences in the floating capacitances of the detection electrodes which are sensed by a circuit portion of the device.

Electronic circuit for the detection of a capacitive variation on two distinct contact capacitors, (C1, C2), comprising means able of squaring the signals generated by a conventional pulse generator and filtered by two filters (R1, C1-R2, C2), wherein the respective capacitors (C1, C2) are the same said contact capacitors which are connected to a respective terminal to a common ground (G); said means are also able to generate respective signals formed of trains of squared pulses, to compare said two signals and to provide an output signal depending on the result of said signals comparison. Said output signal depends on the phase difference between the pulses of said two trains of squared pulses.

The invention provides an antitrap protection system for a moving system. The antitrap protection system comprises a capacitor system, with a first electrode device, which comprises a first and a second electrode, and a second electrode device, which comprises a third and a fourth electrode; an LC oscillating circuit formed by the first electrode device and an inductance; a signal generator for charging the first electrode device and the second electrode device with an adjustable frequency and amplitude; and a capacitor for coupling the signal generator with the first electrode device and the second electrode device; whereby the signal provided by the signal generator and the signal present at the LC oscillating circuit form a first indication for an approach of an object to the electric field of the first electrode device, and the signal provided by the signal generator and the signal tapped at the fourth electrode form a second indication for an approach of an object to the electric field of the second electrode device.

A sensor unit is configured to have an insulating case covering a mobile phone, a conductive substrate provided on the inner surface of the case, and a sensor electrode fixed on the surface of the conductive substrate. When a part of the human body of a user, such as a finger or a hand of the user, touches the surface of the case, a detection unit detects a change in capacitance provided between the human body and the conductive substrate. When it is determined that the user has touched the mobile phone, an activation signal is output and the operation mode of the mobile phone is set to a normal power mode in which power is automatically supplied. With this configuration, the operability of the mobile phone can be improved.

A touch sensing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor (13), a flip-flop (16), and a microcontroller unit (17). The sensor is connected to one of input of the flip-flop for receiving electricity signals from an object that touches the sensor. The MCU respectively supplies two AC signals at two outputs thereof to two inputs of the flip-flop. The flip-flop outputs a first type output signal at the output thereof when the sensor not being touched. When being touched, the sensor receives electricity signals from an object, and causes a delay of an AC signal to be inputted to the input of the flip-flop to which the sensor is connected, the delay of the AC signal to be inputted to the input of the flip-flop further causes the flip-flop to output a second type output signal at a output thereof. The MCU detects a change of the output signals of the flip-flop from the first type output signal to the second type output signal and accordingly identifies a touch on the sensor.

摘要:
A touch responsive power control system in which the majority of the signal processing functions are achieved through digital circuitry and includes a controllable pulse generator responsive to the change in capacitance caused by a human touch at a touch sensitive control point of the device to be regulated. The magnitude of the change in capacitance caused by the human touch is encoded in the form of the number of pulses contained in a pulse train or a series of pulse trains over a selected time period. The number of pulses is counted and digitally compared with a stored count. If the present count is different from the stored count, the stored count is adjusted and an error signal proportional to the difference between counts is supplied, after a sufficient interval, to a load driver which adjusts the power level supplied to the load from an electrical power source.
