A display screen assembly is provided. The display screen assembly includes a display screen, a first light source, a light conducting member, a receiving element, and a processor. The display screen includes a display region for displaying images and a non-display region surrounding the display region. The light conducting member faces the display region. At least one first light source faces at least one surface of the light conducting member. The at least one first light source is configured to emit a detection signal to the light conducting member. The light conducting member is configured to diffuse the detection signal to allow the detection signal to pass through the display region, to interact with a detection object to form a target signal. The receiving element is disposed in the display region and configured to receive the target signal.

A capacitive imaging glove includes electrodes implemented throughout the capacitive imaging glove and drive-sense circuits (DSCs) such that a DSC receives a reference signal generates a signal based thereon. The DSC provides the signal to a first electrode via a single line and simultaneously senses it. Note the signal is coupled from the first electrode to the second electrode via a gap therebetween. The DSC generates a digital signal representative of the electrical characteristic of the first electrode. Processing module(s), when enabled, is/are configured to execute operational instructions (e.g., stored in and/or retrieved from memory) to generate the reference signal, process the digital signal to determine the electrical characteristic of the first electrode, and process the electrical characteristic of the first electrode to determine a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode, and generate capacitive image data representative of a shape of the capacitive imaging glove.

An electromagnetic measuring probe device for measuring a thickness of a dielectric layer of a circuit board and a method thereof are disclosed. The circuit board has at least one dielectric layer, at least two conductive layers and a test area. The test area has a test pattern and a through hole. The electromagnetic measuring probe device has a probe-measuring unit, an external conductive element, plural magnetic powder groups, and a maintaining unit. The probe-measuring unit has a transparent tube and an internal conductive pin. The external conductive element electrically connects with the test pattern. The conductive layers and the internal conductive pin generate a magnetic field while the probe-measuring unit enters into the through hole. The magnetic powder groups magnetically attracted are gathered to positions corresponding to thickness-range positions of the conductive layers and held by the maintaining unit, thus a gap between the two dielectric layers is obtained.

A target configured to be used with a position sensor for sensing a position of the target is described. The target includes at least one elongated conductive loop structure for allowing eddy currents to flow therein and configured to affect a magnetic field received from the position sensor in a preferred direction along the at least one elongated conductive loop structure.

An angle sensor of a tape feeder includes a magnetic body that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of a sprocket, a magnetic sensor that outputs a detection signal corresponding to the angle of the magnetic body with respect to the feeder main body, and an angle calculating section that performs offset processing for adjusting an origin of the detection signal using a preset offset value, gain processing that adjusts the magnitude of the detection signal using a preset gain value, and that calculates the angle of the magnetic body based on the adjusted detection signal. The control device performs correction processing for correcting at least one of the offset value or the gain value based on the detected signals outputted from the magnetic sensor.
