Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a first mesh of conductive material covering an area corresponding to at least a portion of the touch sensor. The first mesh includes a number of mesh cells. Each of the mesh cells has a number of vertices. Each of the vertices has a substantially randomized location within an inner portion of one of a number of polygons. The polygons collectively and contiguously covers the area corresponding to at least a portion of the touch sensor. One or more dimensions of the polygons is based at least in part on a pre-determined distance threshold between one or more pairs of opposing vertices. The apparatus also includes a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium coupled to the touch sensor and embodying logic that is configured when executed to control the touch sensor.
Bailey had struggled for decades with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, said his 38-year-old daughter, Heather Atkinson of Bradenton, Fla. She said her father had built a successful yard business and a house, but lost both to the alcoholism that made her and her sister stop seeing him.
Bailey has since relocated to a nursing home to be treated for bipolar disorder and alcoholism. One daughter came to visit him earlier this month. The other, Heather Atkinson, says she now speaks to her father daily.
