Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for a single or multi-dimmer system having improved reliable connectivity between a dimmer assembly and a switch or between two or more dimmer assemblies.

An exemplary embodiment of a load control device with a light indicator is disclosed. The load control device may include an actuator assembly and a light source. The actuator assembly may include a frame, a light pipe, and an actuator having two surfaces. The light pipe may be arranged within the actuator and include first and second legs. The first leg may extend towards the first surface, and the second leg may extend towards the second surface. When the actuator is in a first position, the light source may be optically aligned with one of the first and second legs; and, when the actuator is in a second position, the light source may be optically aligned with the other of the first and second legs. When the light source is illuminated, the light pipe may direct the light towards the respective surface of the actuator.

A vehicle switch device has a selection switch having an operation part that, when operated, selects at least one of a plurality of driving target vehicle components mounted on a vehicle, and an operation switch that is separately operable from the selection switch, and drives the selected driving target vehicle component when operated. The operation switch has a single holding operation knob that swings so as to have a front portion thereof pushed down or pulled up. The single holding operation knob is structured to allow a palm of a hand to be placed on an upper face thereof, and fingers of the hand other than a thumb to be placed on the front portion. The operation part is disposed on a side face of the holding operation knob.

Disclosed are a capacitor rocker device and a remote control. The capacitor rocker device includes a shell, a rocker arm assembly, a rocker assembly, two capacitor assemblies and a control assembly. Each capacitor assembly includes a first electrode sheet, a second electrode sheet and a third electrode sheet. A first facing distance is provided between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet to form a first capacitor, and a second facing distance is provided between the first electrode sheet and the third electrode sheet to form a second capacitor. The rocker assembly is configured to push the rocker arm to swing and drive the swing member to swing within the first facing distance and the second facing distance, and a capacitance value of the first capacitor and a capacitance value of the second capacitor change with the swing of the swing member.

An input device includes housing; operation nob; cam member swingable in a direction intersecting with pivoting direction of operation knob, and performing swinging as first movement in response to operation knob pivoting in first angular range and performing swinging as second movement succeeding first movement in response to operation knob pivoting in second angular range; substrate; first switch on substrate, switched on in conjunction with first movement of cam member; and second switch on substrate, switched on in conjunction with second movement of cam member. When operation force is ceased, operation knob is automatically restored by restoring forces from first and second switches. Input device includes: first actuator to be slid in conjunction with first movement of cam member to push first switch perpendicularly to substrate; and second actuator to be slid in conjunction with second movement of cam member to push second switch perpendicularly to substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle door switch actuating apparatus (100). The apparatus includes an actuating element (104) having an actuating surface (110), a mechanical switch (112), and a mechanism for transferring a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (110) onto the mechanical switch (112) in order to flip the mechanical switch (112). The mechanism includes: a first component (102) on which the mechanical switch (112) is fixed at least in the switching direction; and a lever (120) pivotally supported about a pivot axis (124) relative to the first component (102) or the first component group and connected to the actuating element (104) via a first bearing on a first side (111) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is supported on the first component (102) or the first component group via a second bearing on a second side (113) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is flexibly configured such that, when manual pressure is applied to the actuating surface (110), it flexibly bends, thereby causing a change in the distance between the first bearing and the second bearing, in particular a shortening or lengthening of the distance, and thus causes the lever to pivot about the pivot axis (124). The mechanical switch (112) is arranged such that, by pivoting the lever, the mechanical switch (112) is flipped. The lever (120) extends substantially parallel to the first side (111) of the actuating surface (110).
