An embodiment is directed to a sealed tailgate handle assembly having a housing and a circuit board positioned in the housing. A switch is positioned in the housing and is configured to complete an electrical circuit path on the circuit board. Resin material encompasses the circuit board, with the resin material configured to seal the connection between the circuit board and the switch. An inner cover is movable between an initial position and a second position. A resilient member extends between the inner cover and the resin material. An outer cover has a deformable upper wall. Upon an application of a force to the upper wall, the inner cover is moved from an initial position to the second position, causing the inner cover to engage the switch, causing the switch to complete an electrical circuit path on the circuit board to release a tailgate

Provided is an input device including; a capacitance sensor that has an operation panel to which a detection electrode is fixed, and a capacitance detection circuit, to detect contact of a finger with the operation panel and slide operation with the finger; a push switch that is provided on a back face side of the operation panel to detect push operation on the operation panel; and a control circuit that is connected to the capacitance detection circuit and the push switch. The control circuit outputs a signal of causing a window W to perform manual opening and closing operation when the slide operation with the finger is detected, and outputs a signal of causing the window W to perform automatic fully opening and closing operation when contact of the finger with each of upper and lower end portions of the operation panel is detected and push operation on the operation panel is detected within a predetermined period of time after the contact is detected.

Electrodes Ex and regions of top plate opposed to electrodes Ex constitute switches SWx that have capacitances varying when the regions of top plate are depressed from top plate toward electrodes Ex. Depression detection circuit calculates the capacitance change amounts of switches SWx indicating changes of the capacitances from a reference value. Depression detection circuit calculates the maximum value and sum of the capacitance change amounts of switches SWx. When the capacitance change amount of at least one switch SWx exceeds threshold TH_EDGE and a situation in which the ratio of the maximum value to the sum is equal to or greater than threshold COMP_LEVELx has lasted for the number of repetitions in SW_DET_COUNT, depression detection circuit determines that the switch having the maximum value of the capacitance change amount is in a depressed state.

An accessible pedestrian pushbutton station. The station includes an articulating rear mounting structure to facilitate accurate positioning of the station on either a curved or flat surface. Additionally, slots in the rear mounting structure allow for minor positional adjustments during installation. The crossing direction arrow is easily repositioned on the front of the station without disassembling the housing. After removing the screw-mounted arrow, the plunger can be turned clockwise or counter-clockwise using only a flat-head screw driver. The plunger is balanced between oppositely biased springs. The spring-balanced plunger indirectly actuates an offset piezo bender using a flexible spring actuator and a second, offset stem bumper. This protects the piezo bender from direct pressure and potential damage. The station includes an internal speaker and the housing includes bilateral sound vents to project the sound emitted by the speaker. Baffles may be inserted in one or both of the sound vents.
