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 surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a shaft, a sensing array and a fluid detection circuit. The sensing array is positioned within the shaft. The fluid detection circuit is electrically coupled to the sensing array, and is configured to determine when a fluid originating from an environment external to the shaft is present within the shaft.

An inhibitor switch is provided. The inhibitor switch includes a housing having a rotor accommodation space and a Hall element accommodation space, a rotor disposed in the rotor accommodation space, and a magnet disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor. A Hall element is disposed in the Hall element accommodation space and spaced apart horizontally from the magnet with a sensing surface facing an outer circumferential surface of the magnet. Further, the inhibitor switch include a cover configured to block an opening of the rotor accommodation space to prevent the rotor from being released.

A system comprises an industrial enclosure, a first magnetic control and a second magnetic control. The industrial enclosure has a cover with an outer surface. The second magnetic control is nested within the first magnetic control, and the nested magnetic controls are secured to the outer surface of the cover of the enclosure.

A magnetic induction switch has a base; a mounting cavity is arranged in the base; an induction circuit board is arranged in the mounting cavity and a Hall induction element is provided; a rotating cover is rotated on the base and is provided with at least two positioning points on the rotating path; the magnet is provided in the rotating cover, and the position of the magnet relative to the Hall induction element changes during the rotation of the rotating cover so that the induction circuit board generates control signals; the magnetic induction switch of the invention is waterproof, avoids hidden trouble existing in the ignition of the mechanical switch, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient manufacture.

A rotary switch device for a vehicle includes a rotary dial module including a plurality of sensors, a material configured to react to a magnetic force, and a base module that generates a magnetic force greater than or equal to a threshold value to enable the rotary dial module to be attached to the base module and transmits detection results from the plurality of sensors included in the rotary dial module to an electronic device inside the vehicle when the rotary dial module is attached to the base module.

A control wheel includes a casing, a wheel ring, a first magnetic element, a pivotal shaft and a second magnetic element. The casing includes an accommodation structure and a concave structure. The accommodation structure includes a base. The wheel ring is disposed within the accommodation structure. The wheel ring is exposed outside through the accommodation structure and the concave structure. The pivotal shaft is disposed within the wheel ring and connected with the base of the accommodation structure. The wheel ring is rotatable relative to the pivotal shaft. The first magnetic element is disposed within the wheel ring. The second magnetic element is disposed within the base of the accommodation structure. The first magnetic element of the wheel ring and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted by each other. Consequently, a rotating speed of the wheel ring is decreased.

A manual control for an electronic apparatus includes a manually activated rocker actuator mechanism coupled to a magnet source. The magnet source is in a rest position relative to a Variable Hall effect sensor device when the rocker actuator mechanism is in a rest position. A variable output signal from the sensor device is substantially at a minimum value when the magnet source is in the rest position relative to the sensor device. The magnet source is in a maximum position relative to the sensor device when the rocker actuator mechanism is in a maximum position. The variable output signal is substantially at a maximum value when the magnet source is in the maximum position relative to the sensor device.

The invention relates to a human-machine dialogue device (1), characterized in that it comprises: a housing comprising a docking station having: a universal human-machine dialogue assembly, each universal human-machine dialogue assembly comprising at least one display unit and at least one sensor device, a universal actuation device, the docking station being arranged to receive, without distinction, removably and interchangeably: a first modular unit (2c) having a display interface, a second modular unit (2a) having a pushbutton-type control interface, a third modular unit (2b) having a rotary button-type control interface.

A Hall-effect universal control button for a man-machine interface includes a base adapted for mounting on the interface, and a plurality of manually actuable and interchangeable control modules. Each control module is mountable on the base and includes a bipolar magnet. The base includes at least one sensor to detect a magnetic field of the magnet.
