NB: Notice that some words in the transcript have been CAPITALIZED. They demonstrate the use of present (-ing) and past (-ed) participles to reduce a subordinate clause, which in Czech corresponds to the obsolete "přechodník". However, in English, these constructions are quite frequent, especially in technical English. Take advantage of seeing them here in a technical context.

Touch screens have become ubiquitous. They´re used on vending machines, gaming , directories and almost every mobile phone on the . With this ever- surge of touch technology, it´s rather easy to miss the many uses and variations in touch screens and how each configuration actually works. Here are a few of the more common types of touch screens available on the market today.
Projected Capacitive
DESIGNED for full multi-touch capabilities, this touch screen technology goes beyond the traditional zoom, pinch, expand and rotate functionality, OFFERING an interactive tool of resolvable touches at less than -millisecond speed. The anti-stiction glass surface enhances simple and advanced gestures even with nitro, latex, or vinyl gloves.
Resistive
This technology features a glass pen with a uniform resistive and a thick polyester conductive sheet separated by small dots. When the screen is pressed with a finger or stylus, the conductive coating on the polyester makes electrical contact with the coating on the glass, thus REGISTERING the touch. Resistive touch screens are extremely resilient to and tear, MAKING them a good choice for high- applications.
Infrared
Infrared touch technology doesn´t on an overlay or a substrate to a touch, so it cannot physically wear out, thus ENSURING a long product life cycle. POSSESSING superior optical and excellent gasket sealing , an infrared tough screen is ideal for harsh industrial and outdoor kiosks.
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)
Surface Acoustic Wave touchscreens work by using ultrasonic waves to detect touch and the location of the user´s input. SAW touchscreens have a sensitive touch ; they recognize the touch location and the amount of applied. BEING an all-glass design, the light transmission of surface capacitive touch screens display-view ability and reduces eye fatigue. This type of touch screen is ideally suited for rugged industrial or military applications.
