A capacitance module may include a set of electrodes, a controller in communication with the set of electrodes, and memory in communication with the controller. The memory may include programmed instructions that cause the capacitance module, when executed, to perform a calibration, the calibration including prompting a finger input, storing a finger attribute of a finger capacitance measurement associated with the finger input, prompting a palm input, storing a palm attribute of a palm capacitance measurement associated with the palm input, and determining an unprompted palm input by consulting at least one of the stored finger attribute and the stored palm attribute.

Determining an unprompted input

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.

Tilt determination

Systems and methods directed at removing HCN from an FCC process flue gas (and/or generated in the catalyst system reactions themselves) such that the final HCN output is satisfactory; while, in so doing, avoiding undesirable levels of other pollutants contained in that exhaust gas such as NOx. A system includes an assembly having a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit generating a flue gas with HCN and NOx and a catalyst device placed in the flue gas line to remove HCN and NOx. The catalyst device having one or more SCR catalytic articles, as in one free of platinum group metal material (PGM) or a dual functioning SCR catalyst with PGM, or a combination of each. The assembly can be provided with an ammonia supplier and optionally an H2O supplier with associated injection for supply into the flue gas upstream of a catalytic article(s).

A capacitance system may include a housing of the electronic device; the housing defining a cavity; a pressure capacitance reference fixed to the housing; a capacitance module disposed deposed within the cavity; a pressure electrode incorporated into the capacitance module where the pressure capacitance reference is detectable with the pressure electrode of the capacitance module.

Pressure capacitive reference fixed to a housing

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.

A capacitance sensing module may include a capacitance sensor; a pressure sensor in mechanical communication with the capacitance sensor; a processor and memory; programmed instructions stored in the memory to cause the processor, when executed, to determine, with the capacitance sensor, a location of a user input; determine, with the pressure sensor, a pressure value of the user input applied to the capacitance sensor; and determine whether the pressure value exceeds a non-uniform actuation threshold value where the non-uniform actuation threshold value is based, at least in part, on the location of the user input on the capacitance sensor.

Non-uniform pressure actuation threshold value

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.

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.

A media sharing and communication system, including a recording mechanism that records a desired portion of media upon activation by a first individual user, a first user transmitter/receiver that transmits the portion of media and a message generated by the first individual user regarding the portion of media to a second individual user and is capable of transmitting a message to a second individual user, a confirmation mechanism that confirms that the second individual user is authorized to view the portion of media and a notification mechanism that notifies the first individual user if the second individual user is not authorized to receive the portion of media, and a second user transmitter/receiver that receives the portion of media and voice message upon authorization of the second individual user, wherein the systems are capable of receiving and executing voice commands. A method of sharing portions of media.
