 atmosphere. Neutron flux varies based on altitude. Specifically, the neutron flux is attenuated at lower altitudes, but increases at higher altitudes. For example, the neutron flux is about three and a half times higher in a mountainous region such as Denver, Colo. when compared to a location at sea level. Furthermore, neutron flux is significantly higher at aircraft altitude when compared to the neutron flux at sea level. Aircraft altitude is typically about 40,000 feet (12,192 meters) on average, but varies based on various factors such as, but not limited to, the type of aircraft, weight, the length of the flight, and atmospheric conditions.
Due to advances in technology, hardware circuits for aviation applications may now utilize smaller semiconductors that also include faster switching rates. However, these semiconductors tend to be more susceptible to the radiation effects that are normally experienced at aircraft altitude when compared to older legacy systems. This may cause one or more single event upsets, which changes the value of a bit in a transistor. For example, the value of a bit may be switched from 0 to 1, which may comprise various data calculations performed by the circuit. Accordingly, there exists a need to mitigate the effects of radiation on flight control hardware circuits. Input devices including proximity sensor devices (e.g., touchpads or touch sensor devices) are widely used in a variety of electronic systems. A proximity sensor device typically includes a sensing region, often demarked by a surface, in which the proximity sensor device determines the presence, location and/or motion of one or more input objects. Proximity sensor devices may be used to provide interfaces for the electronic system. For example, proximity sensor devices are often used as input devices for larger computing systems (such as opaque touchpads integrated in, or peripheral to, notebook or desktop computers). Proximity sensor devices are also often used in smaller computing systems (such as touch screens integrated in cellular phones). Proximity sensor devices may be used to detect finger, styli, or pens.
These input devices often include sensing modules with many connections to ICs (e.g., touch ICs). These many connections are costly and occupy valuable space in the input device. 1. Field of the Invention

For exercise, the neutron flux density is about three and a one-half prison term higher in a cragged region such as Denver, Colo. when compared to a location at sea horizontal surface. Furthermore, neutron flux is importantly higher at aircraft elevation when compare to the neutron flux at sea level. Aircraft elevation is typically about 40,000 feet (12,192 meters) on average, but varies based on assorted factors such as, but not limited to, the type of aircraft, weight, the length of the escape, and atmospheric conditions. 
 Due to advances in technology, hardware circuits for aviation applications may now utilize smaller semiconductors that also include faster switching rates. However, these semiconductors tend to be more susceptible to the radiation consequence that are normally experienced at aircraft altitude when compare to old legacy systems. This may cause one or more individual event upsets, which changes the value of a bit in a transistor. For case, the value of a bit may be switched from 0 to 1, which may comprise various data calculations perform by the circuit. Accordingly, there exists a need to extenuate the effects of radiotherapy on escape control hardware circuits.

A proximity detector device typically includes a sensing region, often demarked by a surface, in which the proximity detector device determines the presence, location and/or motion of one or more stimulation objects.

For example, proximity sensor devices are often used as input signal devices for larger calculation systems (such as opaque touchpads integrated in, or peripheral to, notebook or background computers). Proximity sensor devices are also often used in smaller computing systems (such as touch screens integrate in cellular earphone). Proximity detector device may be used to detect finger, styli, or pens.
