A controller is capable of controlling an asset or target in physical and/or virtual three-dimensional space using a single hand by generating control inputs in four or more degrees of freedom while also limiting cross-coupling (unintended motions). The controller includes a first control member is configured to be gripped in a user's single, second control member is disposed on or near a top end of the first member movable with at least one degree of freedom independently of the movement of the first control member, and a third control member positioned on the first member for displacement by one or more digits of the user's single hand and coupled with the second member to move in opposition to movement of the second control member.

A control stick includes a control portion, a first electrical contact portion and a second electrical contact portion. The control portion has plural first moving contact points, the first electrical contact portion has a control board and plural first static contact points corresponding to the first moving contact points respectively, and a gap exists between the first moving contact point and the respective first static contact point. The first static contact points are electrically connected with the control board. When the control portion swings towards one of the first moving contact points, the first moving contact point is contacted and conducted with the first static contact point. This control stick is capable of achieving the control of a multiple of variables to meet the requirements of controlling a multiple variable in some occasions.

A varistor type multi-directional input device, including an upper cover, a base, a rocker assembly, a reset assembly, an electrical component, a switch elastic piece and a terminal assembly. The conductive elastic piece of the electrical component is mounted in a cavity surrounded by the upper cover, the base and the varistor. The rocking bar is operated to swing the eccentric wheel of the upper rocker arm or the lower rocker arm, and the surface pressure of the varistor is different due to the different deformation of elastic piece caused by the change of the height of the eccentric wheel in the axial direction, so that the varistor outputs different resistance values to achieve control of the screen cursor. The present disclosure is provided with a rocker arm seat which is matched with the upper rocker arm and the lower rocker arm.

In a multi-directional input device, an upward convex spherical trapezoidal portion is provided at a lower end of an operation shaft projecting downward of a lower arm, a receiving portion for the upward convex spherical trapezoidal portion is provided in a case, the receiving portion has a receiving surface configured with a spherical surface having a radius of curvature identical to a radius of curvature of a spherical zone of the upward convex spherical trapezoidal portion, the receiving surface against which the spherical zone of the upward convex spherical trapezoidal portion is pressed downward by a compression coil spring, and the operation shaft is supported to be rotatable around the center of curvature of the receiving surface.

A pointing device includes: a substrate; an operation member that is provided tiltably with respect to the substrate, and includes a protrusion protruded from one of an inner wall and an outer wall; and a rotation member that is provided rotatably on the substrate, and includes a hole which the protrusion enters when the rotation member overlaps the operation member; wherein the rotation member rotates in conjunction with the operation member when the protrusion contacts an edge of the hole according to rotation of the operation member, wherein the hole is formed in a range in which the protrusion is movable by tilt of the operation member.

The present invention relates to the field of remote control technologies, and provides a remote control, including: a body, a first rocker device, a processor, and a signal transmission device. A first joystick component of the first rocker device may move in parallel relative to the body. The processor is connected to the first rocker device, and when the first joystick component moves in parallel relative to the body, the processor generates a remote control instruction, where the remote control instruction is used to control a movable object to move in a horizontal plane of the movable object. The signal transmission device is connected to the processor, and used to receive the remote control instruction generated by the processor, and send the remote control instruction to the movable object. In the remote control of the present invention, when the first joystick component moves in parallel relative to the body, the processor generates a remote control instruction, where the remote control instruction is used to control the movable object to move in a horizontal plane of the movable object, and the parallel moving direction of the first joystick component may be set to correspond to the moving direction of the movable object in the horizontal plane of the movable object, so that the operation of the remote control is intuitive and simple.

A wearable electronic device includes a body defining an aperture therethrough, sized and shaped to receive a digit of a user. The wearable electronic device may include a processor housed in the body and an input device at least partially extending from an outer surface of the body to receive input from another digit of the user. The input device has an actuating surface that is movable between a first position and a second position. Movement of the actuating surface between the first position and second position provides an input to the processor. The wearable electronic device includes a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send electronic transmissions to an external electronic device, the electronic transmissions corresponding to the inputs received from the user, and a power source for providing power to the processor, the input device, and the transmitter.

Devices for controlling movement of aerial buckets via hydraulic systems. Each hydraulic system has valves that control movement of the aerial bucket. A control head of the device has a joystick that is moveable and encoders that detect movement of the joystick. A valve actuator manifold of the device is coupled between the control head and the hydraulic system and supports valve actuators moveably coupled to the valves. Servo drive systems supported by the valve actuator manifold are coupled to the valve actuators and are controllable to move the valve actuators. A processor module of the device is in communication with the encoders and the servo drive systems. The processor module controls the servo drive systems based on input from the encoders such that moving the joystick controls movement of the aerial bucket.
