An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.

A control module includes a frame structure, a touchpad assembly, a supporting element and a rotating shaft. The frame structure includes a first sheathing structure. The touchpad assembly is located over the frame structure. The supporting element is arranged between the frame structure and the touchpad assembly. The supporting element includes a supporting body a second sheathing structure. The rotating shaft is penetrated through the first sheathing structure and the second sheathing structure. A hinge structure is defined by the rotating shaft, the first sheathing structure and the second sheathing structure collaboratively. Due to the hinge structure, the touchpad assembly is swung along a fixed direction. While the touchpad assembly is pressed down, the second sheathing structure is swung relative to the first sheathing structure by using the rotating shaft as a pivotal shaft. Consequently, the touchpad assembly is swung stably, and the touch module is operated stably.

A knob switch device includes a knob portion and a control circuit portion. The control circuit portion is electrically connected to an encoder and at least one switching component. The knob portion includes a knob configured to control the encoder, and further includes a trigger mechanism configured to trigger the switching component. The knob drives the trigger mechanism to trigger the switching component by an axial movement. The knob transforms a change in a mechanical rotation angle into an electrical signal, and the functional mode of the intelligent closestool is switched by pressing or pulling the knob in the axial direction. In this way, the multiple functions of the intelligent closestool are flexibly controlled by using a single knob, and the knob switch device has a compact and small structure, thereby shortening the distance between a person and the intelligent closestool.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein relating to a momentary contact switch that can be both manually and electronically actuated. In some embodiments, an electronic module can be added to a manual momentary contact switch to enable electronic control. The momentary contact switch can be transitioned between first, second, and third electrical states based on the rotation of a shaft between first, second, and third rotational positions. Rotary arms are selectively engaged by pull arms connected to a master solenoid to selectively rotate the shaft from the first rotational position to the second and third rotational positions.

A surgical light including a light housing having at least one light source therein and a handle assembly extending from the light housing, with the handle assembly including a knob and a cover. The handle assembly is rotatably connected to the light housing. The cover covers the knob. Engaging the cover in a first mode and rotating the knob alters a first characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source. Engaging the cover in a second mode and rotating the knob alters a second characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source.

An adjustable keyboard includes a driving element, a first plate, a second plate and a plurality of keys. The second plate is disposed between the first plate and the keys, wherein the second plate has a plurality of key openings and the keys are respectively aligned with the key openings. The driving element is configured to drive the first plate to move, and thus a plurality of first guide portions on the first plate respectively push a plurality of second guide portions on the second plate so as to move the second plate and adjust the distance between each of the keys and the corresponding key opening.

The handle assembly is rotatably connected to the light housing. The cover covers the knob. Engaging the cover in a first mode and rotating the knob alters a first characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source. Engaging the cover in a second mode and rotating the knob alters a second characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source.

A single device operable as a controller with multiple functions includes a mounting member, a control member, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a processing unit. The control member can be pressed and rotated with respect to the mounting member. The first switch, the second switch, and the third switch are located on the mounting member. The processing unit is electrically connected to all the switches. The processing unit receives a first control signal from the first switch when the control member is pressed, a second control signal from the second switch when the control member is rotated clockwise, and a third control signal from the third switch when the control member is rotated counterclockwise.

An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.
