A foot pedal for controlling a medical device, in particular a dental device, including a housing with a housing base, a cover element which is mounted so as to be vertically displaceable with respect to the housing base along an actuating direction and so as to be inclinable with respect to the housing base, a first switch for initiating a first functionality on the medical device and a second switch for initiating a second functionality on the medical device, and an actuating device which is vertically displaceable along the actuating direction and which actuates the first switch during a movement in the actuating direction within a first height offset section and actuates the second switch within a second height offset section, the actuating device being configured in such a way, in that it is in a first state in the first height offset section and in a second state in the second height offset section, wherein the foot pedal being configured such that, at a predeterminable angle of inclination of the cover element the actuating device is always arranged within the first height offset section.

An irreversible power switch which is operational from the outside after lamination of laminated communication device and the like, includes a substrate, electrodes disposed on the substrate, a brittle member disposed so as to face the electrodes and apart from the electrodes and a conductive adhesive portion disposed on the brittle member at a side to face the electrodes thereof. The electrodes and the conductive adhesive portion are irreversibly and electrically bonded by brittle fracture of the brittle member under the external pressing force in the thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

The present disclosure relates to a switch assembly for a motor vehicle component, including: an electronic basic body for arranging a contact member; an actuating member for actuating the contact member; a web associated with the actuating member, including a web portion with a web stop; a flexible switching mat having a basic portion for arranging the actuating member and the web; an operating member having an operating portion with an operating stop and an operating counter-stop disposed opposite to the web stop; a support member connected to the basic body or the switching mat having a support portion with a support counter-stop that contacts the operating stop in a non-actuated state of the switch assembly; wherein the web provided on the basic portion is arranged to be spaced apart from the actuating member provided on the basic portion, wherein the web encloses the actuating member at least partially.

A force-sensitive input device includes a circuit board, plural keys, plural force sensing modules and a display module. When one of the plural keys is pressed down, the corresponding force sensing module senses a magnitude of a pressing force and generates a corresponding sensing signal to the display module. According to the magnitude of the pressing force, the display module is in a corresponding displaying mode. Consequently, the user realizes the magnitude of the pressing force.

A push switch includes a substrate including a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged on an upper surface of the substrate; a resilient member arranged on the first electrode over the second electrode of the substrate; and a light-transmitting member including a crosslinked product of a chain olefin-cyclic olefin copolymer. The light-transmitting member covers the resilient member from above and includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a peripheral side surface between edges of the upper surface and edges of the lower surface of the light-transmitting member, and a periphery of the lower surface of the light-transmitting member. The periphery may be fixed on the substrate.

An input device with an adjustable force level is provided. The input device includes a circuit board and a key structure. The key structure includes a key body, a casing and a pressure-adjustable elastic receptacle. The pressure-adjustable elastic receptacle is partially or completely accommodated within the casing and sustaining the key body. When the key body is moved downwardly, a resisting force to resist the key body is provided by the pressure-adjustable elastic receptacle and the force level of the resisting force is adjusted by the user. When a force with the force level is applied to the key body by the user, a switch of the circuit board is triggered.

A silent input module includes a silent mouse device. The silent mouse device includes a casing, a silent switch and a control unit. The control unit is disposed within the casing and in communication with the silent switch. When the silent switch is triggered, the control unit generates a control signal, and a vision unit provides a vision feedback according to the control signal. A silent feedback unit is disposed within a computing device. The computing device is in communication with a silent mouse device. The computing device includes a processing unit. After a silent switch of the silent mouse device is triggered to generate a switching signal to the processing unit, the silent feedback unit allows a vision unit to provide a vision feedback.
