A touch-sensitive apparatus comprises a light transmissive panel, an illumination arrangement and a detection arrangement. The illumination arrangement is configured to couple light into the panel via an incoupling site such that the light propagates by total internal reflection in opposite top and bottom surfaces of the panel and such that an object touching the top or bottom surface causes a change in the propagating light. The detection arrangement comprises a light detector arranged to detect the change in the propagating light. A compact and robust incoupling site is defined by a sheet-like micro-structured surface portion which is fixedly arranged on one of the top and bottom surfaces and configured to transmit light having an angle of incidence that enables light propagation by TIR inside the panel.

The present invention is a new, original and novel one piece sleeping bag / backpack with rollers that is folded and contained in an attached pocket cavity enclosure, and when folded becomes a square pillow. In addition, there is an optional matching small pillow that fits inside one of the many pockets contained on the sleeping bag for the child to use for his / her head when laying in the sleeping bag. The rollers / wheels are small and can be made with the rollers sewn and permanently attached to the bottom of the sleeping bag. The rollers are also conveniently attached with the use of snaps or Velcro® so that they can be removed for the washing machine. However, that is not necessary because the wheels are so small it causes no problem in the washing machine if they were permanently attached. If the wheels are attached it causes no discomfort to the child as they are positioned in such a way that the child does not notice them while sleeping or resting. However, in the removable ones, the child will have the option to remove them if he / she chooses. The invention uses both because in some cases the smaller younger children stand the possibility of losing or misplacing the wheels if they are removed while they are sleeping, whereas the parent may like the idea of removing them for the wash.
