A surgical hub is disclosed. The surgical hub includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive image data from an image sensor, generate a first image based on the image data, display the first image on a surgical hub display coupled to the processor, receive a signal from a non-contact sensor, the signal indicative of a position of a surgical device, generate a second image based on the signal indicative of the position of the surgical device, and display the second image on the surgical hub display coupled to the processor.

A light device control apparatus is designed to pair with a traditional switch device that has a traditional switch for accepting a first user manual operation to control a target device connected to the traditional switch device with an electrical wire. The traditional switch device has a connecting structure. The light device control apparatus has an attaching device, a cover body, a replacement switch and a wireless controller. The attaching device is attached to the connecting structure of the traditional switch device. The wireless controller wirelessly controls the target device. The replacement switch and the wireless component are not overlapped to each other vertically with respect to the surface cover of the traditional switch device.

A retrofit switch apparatus is designed to pair with a traditional switch device that has a traditional switch for accepting a first user manual operation to control a target device connected to the traditional switch device with an electrical wire. The retrofit switch apparatus has a cover body, a control cover, a control decoder, and a wireless transmitter. The cover body covers the traditional switch device. The control decoder and the wireless transmitter are disposed in the cover body.

A bypass switching assembly includes a source terminal configured for connection to an electrical source; a load terminal configured for connection to a load; a switch including: a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, and an electrically conductive bypass element; and an interlock assembly including: an insulator configured to rotate; and a locking assembly configured to interact with the insulator to prevent movement or permit movement of at least one of the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element.

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a base assembly, a movable assembly that is movably supported by the base assembly, a structural assembly that is supported by the movable assembly, a plurality of electrical assemblies that are supported by the structural assembly, an actuating assembly configured to move the movable assembly relative to the base assembly, and a first electrical connector that is electrically connectable to the actuating assembly and the plurality of electrical assemblies. The apparatus also has a second electrical connector that is electrically connectable to a power source, and a switch assembly disposed on the second electrical connector. The first and second electrical connectors are electrically connected via one or more contact members that are movably disposed relative to the base assembly.

A variety of active cover plate configurations with prongs configured to contact side screw terminals of electrical receptacles are described. In one illustrative embodiment, an active cover plate includes a multi-gang face plate configured to be installed over a multi-gang light switch installation, the multi-gang faceplate including at least two apertures sized to accept a manually manipulatable element of switches in the multi-gang light switch installation. Prongs extend rearward from the multi-gang faceplate around at least one of the apertures.

A lighting device and system having a faceplate and a backplate. The faceplate or the backplate may have an arm or a set of arms having electrical conductors to connect or couple to the electrical contact points of an outlet, plug, or switch. The operational modes may be in an emergency lighting mode and a nightlight mode. The voltage source can be connected to a light source or sensor through the control circuit or the switch, and the light source may be activated based on the output of the sensor. A controller is connected to the sensor can send or receive wireless signals through a wireless module.

A switch module with a built-in structure of anti-surge and linkage disconnection, particularly to one that has an anti-surge instant expanding detaching device with a cocoon form protection structure, when an overvoltage occurs, the metal oxide varistor would instantly heat up or explode, and the expanded graphite is linear expanded by absorbing heat and forms a cocoon form protection structure that fill up the containing space like a spider web covering the metal oxide varistor to forms a flame proof layer, when the expanding volume of the expanded graphite reach the predetermined setting, the expansion provides a push force pushing the pushing element forcing the first connecting point detaching from the second connecting point and turning off the switch, and further achieving the effects of easy manufacturing and improving the stability and the accuracy.

The present invention discloses a universal switch interface includes a monitored switch having an ON mode and an OFF mode of operation visible through a screen display.

A sensor device which can be used, for example, for an operating device, for example of an electronic household appliance, in order to detect a movement and/or position of a first component relative to a second component. The first component can be moved about a or in the direction of an axis of movement along a movement path, includes a sensor electrode arrangement on the second component and a signal element on the first component opposite and at a distance to the sensor electrode arrangement. The signal element has electrically conductive sections and electrically non-conductive sections, as well as a sensor control system for inputting sensor signals and receiving measurement signals at/from the sensor electrode arrangement and an evaluation unit for determining a movement and/or position of the first component relative to the second component based on the measurement signals of the sensor control system.
