A machine tool includes at least one handle housing having at least one switching unit with at least one ratchet element arranged on the at least one handle housing and at least one bearing unit, which is provided to support the at least one ratchet element at least movably relative to the at least one handle housing. The at least one bearing unit includes at least one lever drive unit, which is provided in order to enable a uniform stroke motion over an entire operating surface of the at least one ratchet element during an actuation of the at least one ratchet element.

A present disclosure relates to a switch assembly for a vehicle. The switch assembly comprises a housing, a carrier assembly, a base assembly, and an actuator. The carrier assembly is positioned at a top end of the housing. A knob has a protrusion extending downwardly through an opening of an intermediate member. A carrier has a first cutout to accommodate the protrusion of the knob and a second cut-out to movably accommodate a first biasing member. The base assembly comprises a base member and a microswitch supported by the base member and connected to terminals placed within the base member. The actuator is defined with a cam profile configured to allow a displaceable member to displace on the cam profile between a first end and a second end of the actuator.

An electrical device such as, for example, a battery-powered electrical switch is disclosed. The battery-powered wireless switch includes one or more mechanisms arranged and configured to provide simplified access for servicing (e.g., replacing) the batteries located within the wireless switch. In one embodiment, the wireless switch is arranged and configured so that the batteries may be accessed by reconfiguring the wireless switch from a first closed position to a second opened position to access the batteries. Thus arranged, removal of the wireless switch from a wall-box or a surface of a wall is not required, the user may only need to remove the wall-plate in order to reconfigure the wireless switch. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the wireless switch is pivoted from the first position to the second position to provide access to the batteries.

A haptic-enabled device having a haptic actuator, a movement sensor, and a control circuit is presented. The control circuit determines a drive signal for the haptic actuator based on desired movement for a haptic effect and based on a model that describes transient behavior of the haptic actuator. The control circuit further measures movement output by the haptic actuator based on the drive signal being applied to the haptic actuator. The control circuit determines a movement error that indicates a difference between the measured movement and the desired movement, and adjusts the drive signal based on the movement error to generate an adjusted drive signal. The adjusted drive signal is applied to the haptic actuator to generate the haptic effect. Numerous other aspects are provided.
