A sealed electrical contact system includes at least one male electrical contact with at least one annular flange and a male conductive contact. At least one female electrical contact includes a receptacle and a female conductive contact disposed in the receptacle. The at least one annular flange is configured to contact an inner surface of the receptacle when the male conductive contact contacts the female conductive contact and closes a circuit.

An example container includes a plurality of package segments, each having a respective conductive lead that is interrupted when its package segment is opened. The container includes a signaling source configured to provide two signals that are distinguishable from each other. A presence of one or both of the signals on a shared return line indicates whether one of the package segments has been opened.

A motor-driven surgical instrument that may comprise (i) a movable drive member that is driven in a first direction when the electric motor operates in a first direction and that is driven in a second direction when the electric motor operates in a second direction. Movement of the drive member causes movement of the movable component of the end effector, and (ii) a motor control circuit connected to the motor for controlling the motor. The motor control circuit may comprise a switching circuit that, upon actuation, reverses the direction of the motor from the first direction to the second direction. The switching circuit may be actuatable separately through each of: (i) actuation of a movable actuator of the switching circuit through movement of the drive member at least in the first direction; and (ii) manual actuation by a user of the surgical instrument.

A safety switch arrangement with a safety switch and an actuator associated with it. Moreover, a locking unit is provided for, by means of which the actuator is locked in a latched position. The safety switch has an auxiliary unlocking unit that has a mechanically actuatable actuating element. An actuation of the actuating element is implemented only with a transmission element as a positioning movement for the locking unit.

A stabilization apparatus of an elevator car includes: a base fixedly mounted with respect to the elevator car; an upper swing arm and a lower swing arm disposed in parallel basically, first ends thereof being pivotably fixed to the base; a guide rail friction member capable of generating, with the guide rail, a frictional force for keeping static with respect to the guide rail, and having a first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft for being connected to the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm respectively; and a damper having at least one end connected to the upper swing arm or the lower swing arm, wherein the damper is configured to at least partially prevent the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm from relatively swinging, with the first connecting shaft and/or the second connecting shaft as a swinging pivot.

The disclosure makes an insulating component and a sensor bracket to be an integrally molded article, simplifies the manufacturing process and cuts down the cost. A sensor holder and a sensor bracket made of a resin are made to be an integrally molded article, wherein the sensor holder inside which a pair of electrodes are arranged, and the sensor bracket made of a resin which holds the sensor holder and is attached to a tailgate. During an operation of filling a molten resin to a cavity, a part of the sensor holder is melted by the molten resin, and thus integrating the sensor holder and the molten resin, therefore, the two components can be structurally and firmly integrated. Accordingly, a touch sensor unit which endures long-term use can be obtained.

A pinch detection switch includes a pressure sensing structure including at least one linear pressure sensing member with multiple conductor wires spaced apart from each other in an inner side of a tubular elastic body, and a tubular cover member to be attached to an end on a forward side in a moving direction of a movable body, and which is formed with a hollow portion which receives the pressure sensing structure. The pressure sensing structure includes a coating member which covers the at least one linear pressure sensing member, and which faces an inner surface of the hollow portion at both its ends in a width direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the movable body and an extending direction of the cover member. A position in the width direction of the at least one linear pressure sensing member in the hollow portion is defined by the coating member.

A cable lock (10), including: a cable (16), for locking an object (26) thereby; a first, being the internal peripheral electric conductor (54B), surrounding the cable (16); a peripheral insulating layer (22), surrounding the first peripheral electric conductor (54B); a second, being the external peripheral electric conductor (54A), surrounding the peripheral insulating layer (22); and an electrical circuit (62), for alerting (56) once any region (58A) of the second peripheral electric conductor (54A) electrically contacts an adjacent region (14A) of the first peripheral electric conductor (54B), by crossing the peripheral insulating layer (22), thereby a blade (28) pressing on the second peripheral electric conductor (54A) induces the electrical contact of the second peripheral electric conductor (54A) with the first peripheral electric conductor (54B), thereby the electrical circuit (62) alerts (56) prior to cutting the cable (16).
