ABSTRACT:
A displaceable member moves in an operational zone over a sense system that includes a spatial arrangement of sense electrodes and at least one drive electrode. A conductive coupling element of the displaceable member capacitively couples signals from the at least one drive electrode to ones of the sense electrodes underlying the conductive coupling element. A measurement system generates measurement signals indicating amounts of overlap between the conductive coupling element and ones of the sense electrodes. A processing system produces from the measurement signals an output signal with information conveying motion measures corresponding to absolute positions of the conductive coupling element in the operational zone. At least one regional sense electrode may include discrete electrically conducting sensing elements distributed across a respective region of the operational zone. The drive electrode may include discrete electrically conducting sensing elements interspersed among the sensing elements of the at least one regional sense electrode.
