ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,429,985, issued on Sept. 30, was assigned to ALSENTIS LLC (Holland, Mich.).

"Simultaneous time domain differential sensing and electric field sensing" was invented by David W. Caldwell (Holland, Mich.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for determining a touch input are provided. The systems and methods generally include measuring the peak voltage at an electrode over a measurement period and determining a touch input based on the peak voltage. The systems and methods can conserve computing resources by deferring digital signal processing until after a peak electrode capacitance has been sampled. The systems and methods a...
