A rotation operation input device that achieve downsizing and excellent durability while offering clear and good operation feeling. The rotation operation input device comprises detected portions which is provided concentrically with a rotation operation member about a rotation axis and rotates along with rotation of the rotation operation member, and a detection unit which detects the detected portions and a phase of the rotation operation member. The detected portions are provided at a predetermined interval along an outer edge of the rotation operation member, this outer edge is provided with a recess/protrusion part, the recess/protrusion part has recess parts each positioned between the detected portions and protrusion parts each positioned on each straight line connecting each detected portion and the rotation axis, and an urging member that urges the recess/protrusion part is provided on a side opposite to the detected portions across the recess/protrusion part.
Four-way switch including malfunction prevention structure
A four-way switch including a knob configured to be tilted in four directions to perform a switching operation in the four directions; a housing to which the knob is attached in a tiltable manner; a stopper formed on a surface of the housing so as to protrude by a predetermined height, the stopper being configured to limit a downward motion of the knob by contacting a portion of a lower surface of the knob while the knob is tilted; a guide protrusion formed on the lower surface of the knob so as to protrude by a predetermined length; and a guide groove portion formed on the surface of the housing so as to protrude by a predetermined height so as to face the guide protrusion, the guide groove portion including a recess portion having a structure that engages with the guide protrusion.
CONDUCTIVE PATTERN
A first conductive pattern according to the present disclosure includes a first land electrode and a second land electrode, in which at least a portion of the first land electrode is arranged in an inner portion of a first circle defined by a center point and a first radius, the second land electrode is arranged on a second circle defined by the center point and a second radius that is larger than the first radius to surround the first land electrode, the second land electrode is not arranged in the inner portion of the first circle, the first land electrode is not arranged on the second circle, and the first land electrode and the second land electrode are arranged on a third circle defined by the center point and a third radius that is larger than the first radius and is smaller than the second radius.
Control key assembly
A control key assembly including a button cover and a weight member is provided. The button cover has a first top surface, a bottom surface and a first assembling structure, wherein the first assembling structure is located on the bottom surface. The weight member has an arc surface and a second assembling structure, the arc surface and the second assembling structure are located on opposite sides of the weight member, wherein the second assembling structure is assembled with the first assembling structure, and the weight of the weight member is greater than the weight of the button cover.
Keyboard device and electronic apparatus
A keyboard device is provided with a base plate, a plurality of key tops, a membrane sheet, and a frame. The frame has a frame portion interposed between the key tops adjacent to each other and partitions each key top in a vertically movable state by the formation of a gap between the side surface of the frame portion and the side surface of the key top. The base plate has a notch portion at a position at least overlapping with a portion under the gap.
KEYBOARD DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

The frame has a frame portion interposed between the key tops adjacent to each other and partitions each key top in a vertically movable state by the formation of a gap between the side surface of the frame portion and the side surface of the key top. The base plate has a notch portion at a position at least overlapping with a portion under the gap.
Control Stick
A control stick includes a control portion, a first electrical contact portion and a second electrical contact portion. The control portion has plural first moving contact points, the first electrical contact portion has a control board and plural first static contact points corresponding to the first moving contact points respectively, and a gap exists between the first moving contact point and the respective first static contact point. The first static contact points are electrically connected with the control board. When the control portion swings towards one of the first moving contact points, the first moving contact point is contacted and conducted with the first static contact point. This control stick is capable of achieving the control of a multiple of variables to meet the requirements of controlling a multiple variable in some occasions.
Tool user interface ring
A user interface assembly that can be selectively attached to a housing of a tool, including mobile and handheld tools. The assembly can include a housing having an opening that extends through a first side of the housing. A user input device in the form of a rotatable and linearly displaceable control ring, which is housed in the housing, can extend within a portion of the opening such that the control ring is recessed from the first side of the housing. A display that can visually communicate tool information and selectable settings to the user can be positioned within the housing, and centrally located relative to a central bore of the control ring. The display, which can remain relatively static relative to a rotational displacement of the control ring, can be inwardly offset from a first side of the control ring, and thus also recessed within the housing.
OPERATION DEVICE, AND OPERATION METHOD AND OPERATION PROGRAM THEREOF
First and second reception units receive a setting instruction for a first correspondence relationship which is a correspondence relationship between a direction of a first operation performed on a touch-type operation unit and a movement direction in which a list image moves with respect to a screen in response to the first operation, and a second correspondence relationship which is a correspondence relationship between a direction of a second operation performed on a direction instruction key and a movement direction in which the list image moves with respect to the screen in response to the second operation. An information management unit sets the first correspondence relationship and the second correspondence relationship. A command output unit decides the movement direction of the list image with respect to the screen based on the first correspondence relationship or the second correspondence relationship in a case where the first operation or the second operation is performed. A display control unit moves the list image in the decided movement direction.
Secure remote actuation system
There is disclosed a secure remote actuation system that includes a network storing one or more acceptable inputs. The system also includes a central signal switch disposed inside an enclosure. The central signal switch stores therein the one or more acceptable inputs and user codes, which comprise a succession of the acceptable inputs. The system further includes a remote input receptor that, in turn, includes a user interface with a communication tilt plate that has a front side and a back side. The front side includes an outer touch surface. The back side includes electronic components mounted thereon, a raised center pivot and a plurality of spring loaded switches mounted thereon disposed around the periphery of the back side. As such, tilting the communication tilt plate by pressing proximate the periphery of the outer touch surface will activate two or more of the spring-loaded switches mounted on the back side of the tilt plate, thereby transmitting the one or more user codes. The system also includes a microcontroller for obtaining and comparing said one or more acceptable inputs to said one or more user codes. The system also includes a web application for receiving the one or more acceptable inputs and the user codes for a user. The web application is in electronic communication with the microcontroller and communicates information pertaining to recent user interactions with the secure remote actuation system to the user through the remote input receptor. The microcontroller obtains the one or more acceptable inputs from the network after the user begins to use the interface.
