Touch Signature Technologies
AlSentis® HSS™ … you define your touch signature needs and we provide the touch solutions …
AlSentis® HSS™ Touch Technology is...
- Reliable – Defining Touch Signatures eliminates inadvertent actuations
- Efficient – One electrode and chipset can allow several new features, including gesture recognition, 2-touch and z-touch
- Customizable – High levels of water immunity available with dual electrode and complimentary chip versions
- Simple – The need for characterizing (or tuning) a system and software are virtually eliminated for easy implementation
- Complex – Touch Signature technology means monitoring several variables to distinguish between a finger, water, electrical noise, etc, as well as different touch motions defined by you
- Flexible – The same touch feel is maintained through varying substrate thicknesses with or without a glove
- Resistant – Unaffected by corrosive liquids, oil, water, dirt & most contaminants, moisture & humidity or ambient air pressure

AlSentis® HSS™ TRZ

A - Field: The AlSentis® HSS™ ASIC senses changes in the electromagnetic field (EMF) above its electrode
B - TRZ: Touch Recognition Zone is the area in which several variables are measured to recognize true Touch Signature events
C - Substrate: Touch signatures can be sensed through flat or curved dielectric substrates, such as glass, plastic, wood and fabric
D - Sensor: Single electrode designs can sense Touch Signature events including gloved touches, gestures, and 2-touches through changing substrate thicknesses. Our double electrode designs add a high level of water immunity.
