A transparent electrode member has a transparent electrode layer formed of a dispersion layer which includes a matrix and conductive nanowires dispersed therein to provide an optical adjustment region including a conductive portion having a first dispersion density and an optical adjustment portion having a second dispersion density smaller than the first dispersion density. The transparent electrode layer includes a plurality of first and second electrodes each having the optical adjustment region, and a first wire provided between and electrically connecting two adjacent first electrodes. A region of an insulating layer is formed between the first wire and the second electrodes, and between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The first wire and a part of the first electrodes in a vicinity of the first wire are formed of a non-adjustment region of the dispersion layer including the conductive portion while lacking the optical adjustment portion.

A differential pressure measurement range is widened and differential pressure can be measured particularly during low differential pressure. A first spool facing a space in a high pressure side is lighter than a second spool facing a space in a low pressure side in a state where a magnet is provided. Urging force of a first elastic member that urges the first spool toward the space in the high pressure side is smaller than urging force of a second elastic member that urges the second spool toward the space in the high pressure side, and the first elastic member and the second elastic member are disposed in series.

A trigger arrangement for a scanning system can include a sealed housing configured to support a scanning device, a trigger, and an actuation device configured to control functionality of the scanning device. A first magnet can be positioned outside of the sealed housing and can be configured to be selectively moved by the trigger. A second magnet configured to be repelled by the first magnet can be positioned inside of the sealed housing. A connecting member that supports the second magnet can be configured to transfer force from the second magnet to the actuation device. Some configurations can provide tactile feedback to a user when the trigger is used.

The invention relates to an actuator device for change of state of an electronic-control apparatus for underwater use and a system for underwater use comprising the combination of a said actuator device with an electronic-control apparatus for underwater use. The actuator device for change of state of an electronic-control apparatus for underwater use comprises a main body designed to be associated in a stable way with at least part of said apparatus. A peculiarity of the invention is that it comprises, associated with the main body, magnetic-field generator means that interface, in the operating position of the actuator device, with reed-technology sensor means of said apparatus for sending electrical information to means for management and control of the apparatus that are designed to change the state, in particular the state of supply of the apparatus, said management and control means being electrically associated with a supply circuit of the apparatus, which comprises at least one power-supply battery, for the possible opening or closing of the circuit.

A rotary input device includes a base, a cover, a column, one or more first magnets, one or more second magnets, a plurality of magnetic sensors, and a signal processing circuit. The cover includes a cap portion and a side wall vertically extending from the cap portion. The column surrounded by the side wall includes a first end for connecting to the base and a second end for connecting to the cover. The first magnet surrounds the column and is configured on the cover. The second magnet surrounds the first magnet and is configured on the base. The magnetic sensors are configured on a lateral surface of the column and coupled to the signal processing circuit.

A magnetic electrical switch apparatus includes: a switch assembly that includes: a switch body housing including a stationary contact; a shaft configured to move relative to the switch body housing, the shaft including: a moveable contact; and a first magnet; and a movable support member including a second magnet. The moveable contact and the first magnet are configured to move with the shaft. Moving the movable support member moves the second magnet relative to the first magnet, and a magnetic interaction between the second magnet and the first magnet moves the moveable contact relative to the stationary contact to thereby change a state of the switch assembly.

A method for assembling an electro-permanent magnet (EPM) key assembly of an information handling system may comprise disposing a pair of scissor plate mounts framed onto a base contact assembly upward through a cap support plate opening within a cap support plate comprising a printed circuit board with pressure sensors to record keystrokes for mounting the EPM key assembly, operably connecting the base contact assembly to the cap support plate, disposing a ferromagnetic flange operably coupled to rotate with at least one scissor plate about a hinge downward through the cap support plate opening, operably connecting the pair of scissor plates to the base contact assembly such that each of the pair of scissor plates may rotate away from one another in the presence of downward force on a key cap, and situating the key cap atop the pair of scissor plates.
