Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 18:
19. A method for adhering a capacitive sensor to a capacitance reference surface, comprising:
applying an adhesive to one side of either the capacitive sensor or the capacitance reference surface, such that the adhesive is disposed between the capacitive sensor and the capacitance reference surface;
moving the capacitive sensor and capacitance reference surface towards each other with the adhesive between them; and
applying a suction force through at least one suction opening defined in the capacitance reference surface when moving the capacitance sensor and the capacitance reference surface towards each other;
wherein air is suctioned through the at least one suction opening in the capacitive sensor;
wherein the suctioning of air through the at least one suction opening has the function of reducing the amount of air bubbles between the capacitive sensor and the capacitive reference surface.
