Abstract: Self capacitance touch circuits to cancel the effects of parasitic capacitance in a touch sensitive device are disclosed. One circuit can generate a parasitic capacitance cancelation signal that can be injected into touch sensing circuitry to cancel the parasitic capacitance. Another circuit can adjust the phase and magnitude of the parasitic capacitance cancelation signal based on characteristics of channels in the touch sensing circuitry so as to fine tune the parasitic capacitance cancelations. Another circuit can drive a guard plate and touch panel electrodes so as to cancel the parasitic capacitances between the panel and the plate and between the electrodes.

Abstract: A touch panel electrode structure for user grounding correction in a touch panel is disclosed. The electrode structure can include an array of electrodes for sensing a touch at the panel, and multiple jumpers for selectively coupling groups of the electrodes together to form electrode rows and columns that cross each other. In some examples, the array can have a linear configuration and can form the rows and columns by coupling diagonally adjacent electrodes using the jumpers in a zigzag pattern, or the array can have a diamond configuration and can form the rows and columns by coupling linearly adjacent electrodes using the jumpers in a linear pattern. In various examples, each electrode can have a solid structure with a square shape, a reduced area with an outer electrode and a physically separate center electrode, a hollow center, or a solid structure with a hexagonal shape.

Abstract: A touch controller can dynamically balance performance criteria, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds, with power consumption for touch sensitive devices. A touch controller can be configured to reduce power consumption by reconfiguring bank boundaries for an active mode scan so as to reduce the number of banks scanned with a banked active mode scan. Additionally or alternatively, the stimulation signal amplitude and integration time of the touch controller can be dynamically adjusted to balance performance criteria with power consumption. Default integration times and default stimulation signal amplitudes can be increased in higher-noise operating environments to raise SNR, and can be reduced to save power in lower-noise operating environments. Additionally or alternatively, the touch scanning rate of the touch controller can be dynamically adjusted to reduce power consumption of the touch sensitive device or to reallocate touch sensing frames to increase integration times and thereby SNR performance.

Abstract: A superheterodyne stylus signal receiver for detecting a stylus stimulation signal from a stylus is provided. The stylus signal receiver can be configured to convert the touch signal into an intermediate frequency signal having a frequency that is less than that of the touch signal. In some examples, a hardware-implemented I-phase demodulator can be used to convert the touch signal into the intermediate frequency signal. The receiver can be further configured to perform IQ demodulation on the intermediate frequency signal at the intermediate frequency signal's lower frequency. In some examples, the IQ demodulation can be performed in firmware.

Abstract: This relates to a monitoring system capable of measuring a plurality of vital signs. The monitoring system can include a plurality of sensors including, but not limited to, electrodes, piezoelectric sensors, temperature sensors, and accelerometers. The monitoring system can be capable of operating in one or more operation modes such as, for example: capacitance measurement mode, electrical measurement mode, piezoelectric measurement mode, temperature measurement mode, acceleration measurement mode, impedance measurement mode, and standby mode. Based on the measured values, the monitoring system can analyze the user's sleep, provide feedback and suggestions to the user, and/or can adjust or control the environmental conditions to improve the user's sleep. The monitoring system can further be capable of analyzing the sleep of the user(s) without directly contacting or attaching uncomfortable probes to the user(s) and without having to analyze the sleep in an unknown environment (e.g., a medical facility).
