Anyway, the way I understood that article, they were saying they used 4 layers of screen, instead of 2, to get the multitouch solution they were using. (Which is basically like having two resistive screens fused together.) Obviously, more technical details than that, but that was the general idea as I understood it. I may have read it wrong though....
Capacitive multi touchscreen usually uses 200-240 sensible points (capacitors) and theorically can relieve one contact about at every 5mm (on 4" screen).
But they can relieve multi contacts in parallel so then software interpolation or other software methods increase the effective resolution but I doubt they can be pixel precise (above all on screen with 240 or more dpi) as resistive touchscreen are claimed

Four layer is refered to Stantum screen ?
Because Fujitsu solution is four wires (so a normal resistive touchscreen) and not four layers

PS
I doubt that a single accelerometer can precisely emulate a gyro.
I have partially read some complicated articles that claims to make gyro emulation using two accelerometers and even so is it is a poor/imprecise emulation
