Appl. No.:

10/629414

Inventors:

Stephen McNally - Vancouver WA, US
Robert M. Yraceburu - Camas WA, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

B41J 2/01

US Classification:

347104, 271193

Abstract:

Representative embodiments provide for a controller for use with a capacitive mat, the controller configured to selectively electrically energize a first node of the capacitive mat in response to an input. The controller is further configured to wait for a first predetermined period of time, and to electrically energize a second node of the capacitive mat after the first predetermined period time. A method of the present invention provides for controlling a capacitive mat, the method including receiving an input, (and electrically energizing a first node of the capacitive mat at a first predetermined potential. The method also includes waiting for a first predetermined period of time, and electrically energizing a second node of the capacitive mat after the first predetermined period of time. ) This repeats the scenario stated in lines 5–7. The abstract only mentions one of the three methods.
