Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An acoustic touch apparatus that utilizes the transfer of surface acoustic waves from one surface, through the touch substrate, to another surface to enable multi-touch capabilities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An acoustic touch sensor system having multi-touch capability, comprising: a substrate that is capable in a peripheral region to propagating surface acoustic waves along substrate surfaces and in a central region to permit top-bottom oscillation of the surface acoustic waves from the one of the surfaces to the other surface through the substrate, said substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a curved connecting surface formed between said top su…
