A fingerprint sensor includes an array of fingerprint sensing elements; analog-to-digital (A/D) converters having a controllable range; a scanner to perform sequential A/D conversions of predetermined ones of the array of fingerprint sensing elements; and a range determining and setting circuit for controlling the range of the A/D converters based upon prior A/D conversions to thereby provide enhanced conversion resolution. A plurality of A/D converters are preferably used for simultaneously converting analog signals from a corresponding plurality of fingerprint sensing elements. The A/D converters may include at least one reference voltage input for permitting setting of first and second points of the range. The range scale determining and setting circuit may generate a histogram based upon prior A/D conversions. In addition, the range scale determining and setting circuit may set a default range for initial ones of the fingerprint sensing elements.

A finger biometric sensor may include a finger biometric sensing layer having an upper major surface and at least one sidewall surface adjacent thereto. The finger biometric layer may be for generating signals related to at least one biometric characteristic of the user's finger when positioned adjacent the first major surface. The finger biometric sensor may also include a piezoelectric transducer layer coupled to the at least one sidewall surface of the finger biometric sensing layer and a plurality of electrically conductive layers coupled to the piezoelectric transducer layer to define transducer electrodes. At least one of the electrically conductive layers may also cooperate with the finger biometric sensing layer for sensing the at least one biometric characteristic.

A fingerprint sensor package includes a fingerprint sensing integrated circuit within a housing and comprising a plurality of electric field sensing electrodes and processing circuitry connected thereto. At least one external electrode is carried by the housing for finger contact. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit is provided within the housing and is connected to the at least one external electrode. An isolation circuit is connected to the at least one line of the processing circuitry for external connection. The external electrode and ESD circuit, as well as the line isolation circuit protect the integrated circuit against damage by voltage transients, such as ESD. The at least one external electrode may include first and second external electrodes. The first electrode may be connected to the electrostatic discharge circuit. The processing circuit may further comprise a wake-up circuit for selectively powering predetermined circuit portions responsive to sensing finger contact with the second external electrode.

In one aspect, a system for lighting an under-sink storage space defined beneath a sink may generally include a waste disposal positioned within the under-sink storage space that is in fluid communication with the sink. The waste disposal may include a motor and a cutter system for processing water and waste discharged from the sink. In addition, the system may include a light source associated with the waste disposal that is configured to illuminate at least a portion of the under-sink storage space. Moreover, the system may be configured such that the light source and the motor are electrically connected to a common electrical circuit.

A demand side management control system and method for altering power consumption on an electrical device during specified periods of time (e.g., peak energy demand periods). The system includes a memory to store two or more power consuming function profiles corresponding to the one or more power consuming functions associated with the electrical device. The system also includes at least one processor coupled with the memory. The processor is programmed to receive a peak energy demand signal and access the power consuming function profiles associated with the electrical device. The processor identifies, based on the received peak energy demand signal, the one of two or more power consuming function profiles to be implemented in the electrical device. Finally, the processor periodically disables or operates at a reduced power level at least one power consuming function according to the identified power consuming function profile.

A fingerprint sensor package preferably includes a fingerprint sensing integrated circuit in a housing, and a circuit substrate comprising first and second portions connected together. The first portion is within the housing and mounts the fingerprint sensing integrated circuit, and the second portion is flexible and extends outwardly from the housing for facilitating electrical connection to the fingerprint sensing integrated circuit from external to the housing. Each portion of the circuit substrate preferably includes at least one insulating layer and at least one electrical conductor thereon. Accordingly, the package can be made relatively compact and electrical interconnections are facilitated by the second portion or extension of the circuit substrate. In one embodiment, the first and second portions are integrally formed together. In this embodiment, the first portion is also flexible.

A system includes a meter, one or more sensors, a room air conditioner (RAC) comprising one or more power-consuming features/functions and a controller configured to control the one or more power-consuming features/functions. The system further includes an accessory computing device coupled with the RAC, the meter, and the one or more sensors. The accessory computing device is configured to receive and process a signal, and in response to the signal, instruct the RAC to operate in a particular operating mode. The particular operating mode may be an energy-management mode.
