A switch device includes an operation switch including a switch knob formed integrally with a recess configured to allow a finger to be inserted. The operation switch includes a detector configured to detect a change in a physical amount caused by operation of the switch knob.

A switch module includes an outer shell, a button and a bracket. The button is disposed to the outer shell. The button has a base board. One side of a bottom surface of the base board is recessed in the upward direction to form an avoiding groove. A rear of the bottom surface of the base board protrudes in the downward direction to form a driving pillar. The bracket is disposed under the button. A top surface of the bracket is recessed in the downward direction to form an accommodating groove. A top surface of a bottom wall of the accommodating groove is defined as a stopping surface. The driving pillar projects beyond the stopping surface. A front end of the top surface of the bottom wall of the accommodating groove is recessed downward to form an avoiding plane.

A static mitigation end cap for an architectural covering is provided. The covering may include a head rail having an end cap. The end cap may include a housing extending along a longitudinal length of the head rail and defining a chamber. The end cap may include a printed circuit board received within the chamber and configured to control a motor assembly operatively connected to the at least one end cap. The end cap may include an actuation member slidably coupled with the end cap for selective engagement with the printed circuit board.

An input device is provided to supply multiple input from a button. The input device may include a first switch and a second switch. The input device may further include a slide button on a surface of the input device. The slide button may actuate the first switch when the slide button slides along a first direction substantially parallel to the surface of the input device. The slide button may actuate the second switch when the slide button slides along a second direction substantially parallel to the surface of the input device. The input device may further include a third switch. The slide button may actuate the third switch of the input device when the slide button is pressed towards the surface of the input device.

An apparatus adapted to prevent unintended seat adjust switch actuation in a vehicle side impact or crash includes a wall, having a window, a seat adjustment switch behind the wall, an actuator connected to the seat adjustment switch and extending through the window and a stop adapted to limit displacement of the actuator when the actuator is displaced inboard toward the wall. That stop may be carried on one of the wall or the actuator. A new and improved seat assembly is also disclosed.

A switch device includes an operation switch including a switch knob formed integrally with a recess configured to allow a finger to be inserted. The operation switch includes a detector configured to detect a change in a physical amount caused by operation of the switch knob.

Electrical switch devices are installed at in-wall electrical boxes of a building. Each device features a switch module with multiple electrically controlled switches for respective connection of multiple load circuits. A control panel with a user interface is mountable over the electrical box and is connected or connectable to the switch module. A communications transceiver of each device is operable to transmit and receive communications to and from each of the other devices. The control panel has a touch-screen display, and is configured to display virtual on-screen switches, including at least one virtual switch whose output is assigned to a respective one of the electrically controlled switches of the other devices. The at least one virtual switch at one device is thereby operable to control at least one load at another of said devices. User selected names are assignable to the switches, and used to label the virtual switches.

A static mitigation end cap for an architectural covering is provided. The covering may include a head rail having an end cap. The end cap may include a housing extending along a longitudinal length of the head rail and defining a chamber. The end cap may include a printed circuit board received within the chamber and configured to control a motor assembly operatively connected to the at least one end cap. The end cap may include an actuation member slidably coupled with the end cap for selective engagement with the printed circuit board.

A plurality of nodes installed throughout a building each include a wall-mounted unit supported by an in-wall electrical box, a connection inside said in-wall electrical box between the wall-mounted unit and the building's mains-power wiring system, and a power line communications transceiver for communication with the other nodes through the mains-power wiring system. The nodes includes respective speakers, and are operable in a music playing mode in which music data is streamed over the mains-power wiring system to two or more nodes in different rooms of the building for simultaneous audio playback therein. The wall mounted unit includes a panel mounted over the in-wall electrical box and a plurality of light sources positioned to emit light from perimeter edges of the panel to provide a wall illumination effect on the wall surface surrounding the control panel and the electrical box.
