摘要： One type of capacitive sensing apparatus has a sensing element that includes a first portion and a second portion adjacent opposite edges of a sensing region. Signals from the first and second portions are combined. Another type of apparatus includes: a first sensing element including first and second portions; a second sensing element including third and fourth portions; and a third sensing element including fifth and sixth portions. The first, third and fifth portions form a first pattern, and the second, fourth and sixth portions form a second pattern. The patterns are bilaterally symmetrical about a median of a sensing region. In another type of apparatus, an electrical conductor coupled to a first sensing element passes through a gap in a second sensing element. An electrical conductor coupled to the second sensing element is dimensioned such that a capacitive coupling to the second sensing element is compensated for the gap.

摘要： One embodiment in accordance with the invention includes a two-dimensional capacitive sensor apparatus. The two-dimensional capacitive sensor can include a first sensing element having varying width, a second sensing element having varying width, and a third sensing element having varying width. Additionally, the first sensing element, second sensing element, and third sensing element are substantially parallel to a first axis. Furthermore, each of the first sensing element, second sensing element, and third sensing element can be located such that they are not required to overlap each other to determine a first location along the first axis of a two-dimensional space. Moreover, the first sensing element, second sensing element, and third sensing element can have a cumulative width that is substantially constant.
