Summary: An efficient and inexpensive method has been proposed to produce high-quality graphene dispersions for spray-coating flexible electrodes and assembling touch screen prototypes, overcoming environmental issues associated with hazardous solvents. The combination of liquid-phase exfoliation with shear-mixing and tip sonication techniques in cyrene produces high-concentration graphene inks. The resulting electrodes exhibit low sheet resistance, high optical transmittance, high signal-to-noise ratio, and multi-touch functionality, showcasing the potential integration of LPE-graphene in commercial flexible electronics.

Summary: The study compared different numeric keypad designs and found that circle and square buttons outperformed the vertical rectangle button in completion time, accuracy, and satisfaction. Square and circle buttons in 15 mm size led to improved efficiency and decreased error rate. The 3 mm spacing was significantly better than 0 mm spacing for task completion time.

Summary: This article presents a ten-digit chipless radio frequency identification (CRFID)-based numeric keypad that operates on touch event sensing principle. The keypad uses passive frequency-domain (FD) technique and consists of ten circular resonator rings, each resonating at a specific frequency within the 400-MHz band to uniquely identify a digit. Identification is done by decoding radar cross section (RCS) response. The proposed CRFID keypad sensor tag, built using a Rogers substrate, is considered a promising solution for future automated cities and IoT systems.

Summary: This study compares three list scrolling gestures on a mobile phone: sliding to scroll, moving a regular scrollbar, and scrolling through alphabetic index. It finds that scrolling through alphabetic index is the fastest regardless of target locations. The study also reveals that sliding to scroll has shorter reaction time for near-reaching targets, but longer reaction time for far-reaching targets. The evaluation scores of alphabetic index increase over time, while those of sliding to scroll decrease. The different rating patterns before and after the task are attributed to fatigue and emotional changes. This study provides insights into users' mental models for three list scrolling gestures and their implications for future gesture design.

Summary: This research examines the impact of key location in a QWERTY soft keyboard on touch performance and user satisfaction during two-thumb key entry on a smartphone. Results indicate that task completion times are significantly longer in peripheral zones (p < 0.0001), while subjective satisfaction ratings are higher in the center area of the QWERTY layout (p < 0.0001). Touch error frequencies do not show statistical significance among the zones (p = 0.3195).
