The present application discloses a pressure switch which includes a tube structure, a pressure transmitting assembly, a microswitch, and corrugated sheets. The pressure transmitting assembly disposed inside the tube structure includes a guide rod with a piston, and a fluid chamber providing working pressure is defined between the piston and a fluid inlet. The microswitch is disposed at another end of the tube structure away from the fluid inlet and can be actuated by the guide rod. The corrugated sheets are fixed inside the tube structure and stacked on the piston structure so as to form a sealing and pressure transmitting interface for the pressure switch. Therefore, the pressure switch has good sealing property, good buffering capacity, and enhanced mechanical response rate with the corrugated sheets and is suitable for precision pressure measurement and control in an environment with high pressure and high frequency vibration.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

Applicant has created systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling the power supply of a vacuum cleaner motor. The systems and apparatuses include pressure taps to detect a pressure differential within a vacuum cleaner, a float that adjusts depending on an amount of liquid stored, and a power switch that toggles based on the pressure differential created by the position of the float. Alternatively, the float can be replaced by an air chamber so that the pressure differential is created by liquid rising above the volume of air trapped in the chamber. The method can include interrupting the current supplied to an electrical circuit of a power switch based upon a pressure differential created within the vacuum. By controlling the power supply to a vacuum cleaner motor based on a pressure differential created by the amount of liquid stored within the vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner can automatically disable the vacuum cleaner's motor as the vacuum approaches its maximum liquid capacity.

A tactile switch on a mobile electronic device having a housing is provided. The tactile switch is comprised of a pressure sensitive interface on an exterior portion of the housing, a switch mechanism, and at least one pathway coupled to the pressure sensitive interface and extending from the pressure sensitive interface to the switch mechanism. The switch mechanism is at a remote location from the pressure sensitive interface. The pathway is formed in an interior portion of the housing. The tactile switch further includes a viscous fluid substantially filling the pathway. The tactile switch is configured such that when pressure is applied to the pressure sensitive interface, the viscous fluid exerts pressure on the switch mechanism, causing the switch to make an electrical contact.

A key assembly configured to an electronic device is provided. The key assembly includes a switch component and a flexible button. The switch component is disposed in a case of the electronic device. The flexible button has a pressing portion, a shaft portion, at least one water-resistant portion and an actuating portion. The pressing portion is exposed from the case. The shaft portion connects the pressing portion and the actuating portion, and passes through a through hole of the case. The water-resistant portion is connected to the shaft portion and covers the through hole. The actuating portion is located in the case and aligned to the switch component. When a force is applied to the pressing portion, the pressing portion produces compressive deformation and makes the actuating portion produce expensive deformation to actuate the switch component.
