Synaptics' capacitive sensing technology consists of an array of conductive metal electrodes covered by an insulating layer that protects the electrodes from wear. Analog circuitry measures the changes in capacitance that occur as a user's finger moves around the wheel's surface, pinpointing the finger's location at any given moment with accuracy in excess of 1/1000th of an inch (Fig. 1). Synaptics has some fundamental patents in this area (mentioned in 10K above).
