Abstract:
An apparatus includes a force sensor circuit and a controller. The force sensor circuit includes first, second, third, and fourth electrodes disposed on a substrate. The first and second electrodes extend through first and second cells of a row of cells. The third and fourth electrodes extend through third and fourth cells of a column of cells. The first electrode occupies more area in the first cell than in the second cell. The second electrode occupies more area in the second cell than in the first cell. The third electrode occupies more area in the third cell than in the fourth cell. The fourth electrode occupies more area in the fourth cell than in the third cell. The controller detects a force and a position of the force based on signals communicated by the force sensor circuit.

Claim (Index 31):
A force sensor comprising:\n a substrate; a first electrode disposed on the substrate, the first electrode extending through first and second cells of a row of cells, and the first electrode occupying more area in the first cell than the first electrode occupies in the second cell; a second electrode disposed on the substrate, the second electrode extending through the first and second cells, the second electrode occupying more area in the second cell than the second electrode occupies in the first cell; a third electrode disposed on the substrate, the third electrode extending through third and fourth cells of a column of cells, and the third electrode occupying more area in the third cell than the third electrode occupies in the fourth cell; and a fourth electrode disposed on the substrate, the fourth electrode extending through the third and fourth cells, the fourth electrode occupying more area in the fourth cell than the fourth electrode occupies in the third cell.
