Temperature probe hubs
Temperature probe hubs are disclosed. An example temperature probe hub includes a housing and a control button. The housing includes a base. The base has a central portion, a peripheral portion bounding the central portion, and a filler extending between the central portion and the peripheral portion. The filler is configured to move the central portion relative to the peripheral portion in response to a compressive force applied to the filler. The control button is located within the housing. The control button is configured to be actuated in response to movement of the central portion of the housing relative to the peripheral portion of the housing.
Pressing device
A pressing device includes a base board, an upper board unit that is disposed over the base board, and an intermediate unit that is disposed between the base board and the upper board unit. The upper board unit includes a panel, a circuit board, and a tact switch. The intermediate unit includes a middle portion that corresponds in position to the tact switch, a surrounding frame member, and a plurality of interconnecting board members. When the upper board unit is pressed, at least one of the interconnecting board members is deformed, and the middle portion is driven to convert the tact switch from an initial state to a triggered state.
Operation input device
An operation input device includes an operation input unit that is configured to receive a tracing operation performed in a one-dimensional direction. The operation input unit includes a plurality of mechanical switches that are arranged side by side in an operation direction and each include an operation surface subjected to the tracing operation, the operation surface defining a curved surface along the operation direction.
Key structure
A key structure includes a keycap, a pedestal and an elastic element. The keycap includes a main body and a coupling shaft. The pedestal includes a key slot. The key slot has an upper part and a lower part. The coupling shaft is penetrated through the upper part of the key slot and movable within the key slot upwardly or downwardly. The elastic element is installed in the lower part of the key slot. After an external force applied to the keycap is released, the elastic element is elastically restored, so that the keycap is returned to an original position. At the same time, the buffering elements in the key slot interfere with the coupling shaft. Consequently, an ascending speed of the keycap is reduced, and a click sound generated from the collision between keycap and the pedestal is reduced.
Reaction force generating member and key switch device
A reaction force generating member includes: a first dome that gives a reaction force to an operation member according to the depression of the operation member; and a second dome that includes a hemispherical bowl part disposed inside the first dome, and a projection projecting downward from the center of the bowl part and depressing a switch disposed below the operation member.
Pressure sensitive keys
Pressure sensitive key techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes at least one pressure sensitive key having a flexible contact layer spaced apart from a sensor substrate by a spacer layer, the flexible contact layer configured to flex responsive to pressure to contact the sensor substrate to initiate an input, for a computing device, associated with the pressure sensitive key. At least one of the flexible contact layer or the sensor substrate are configured to at least partially normalize an output resulting from pressure applied at a first location of the flexible contact layer with an output resulting from pressure applied at a second location of the flexible contact layer that has lesser flexibility than the first location.
X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus
An X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus includes a table, an imaging system including an X-ray source and a detector, and an operation panel unit including a plurality of operation input units. The plurality of operation input units include an emergency stop unit and a stop state release unit. The emergency stop unit and the stop state release unit are provided separately from each other at different positions.
Key device and keyboard device
A key device includes a substrate, a key cap and a restoring member. The substrate includes a top surface and two pivot seats protruding on the top surface. The pivot seats are spaced from each other. Each pivot seat has an eave portion laterally extending from a top thereof. The eave portion has a bottom edge. The key cap is above the top surface. The key cap includes a side edge and two extending arms extending from the side edge. An end of each extending arm has a pivoting portion. The pivoting portions pivotally abut against the bottom edges of the eave portions respectively without contacting the top surface of the substrate. The restoring member is between the substrate and the key cap and abuts against a bottom of the key cap.
TEMPERATURE PROBE HUBS
Temperature probe hubs are disclosed. An example temperature probe hub includes a housing and a control button. The housing includes a base. The base has a central portion, a peripheral portion bounding the central portion, and a filler extending between the central portion and the peripheral portion. The filler is configured to move the central portion relative to the peripheral portion in response to a compressive force applied to the filler. The control button is located within the housing. The control button is configured to be actuated in response to movement of the central portion of the housing relative to the peripheral portion of the housing.
TEMPERATURE PROBE HUBS
Temperature probe hubs are disclosed. An example temperature probe hub includes a housing, a drain, and a probe jack. The drain extends through the housing. The probe jack is located within the housing in fluid communication with the drain. The drain is configured to remove fluid from the probe jack.
