LIGHT DIMMER WITH TOUCH-SENSITIVE CONTROL
A touch-sensitive dimmer, configured to be electrically coupled to an illumination load to adjust an illuminance of the illumination load. It includes a hollow body, a power source printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) disposed inside the body, a control PCBA, and a touch-sensitive display panel, touch-sensing components and a display element disposed on the control PCBA. The display element displays changes of illumination load adjustment modes based on trigger signals generated by the touch-sensing components. The touch-sensitive display panel includes touch keys which correspond to the touch-sensing components and a display window which corresponds to the display element, and is assembled with the control printed circuit board assembly. The touch-sensitive dimmer combines touch-sensing functions and display screen functions to achieve intelligent control. By incorporating a wireless communication module, the dimmer can further achieve remote by a remote control device.
Adapter assemblies for interconnecting surgical loading units and handle assemblies
A surgical instrument includes a handle assembly, a surgical loading unit, and an adapter assembly coupled therebetween. The adapter assembly includes a housing, an elongated body, a switch assembly, and a switch actuator. The elongated body extends distally from the housing and is configured to be coupled to the surgical loading unit. The switch assembly is disposed within the housing and configured to communicate that the surgical loading unit is coupled to the elongated body. The switch assembly includes a substrate, a switch mounted on the substrate, and at least one wire coupled to the substrate. The switch actuator is movably disposed within the housing and configured to actuate the switch upon engagement of the surgical loading unit with the elongated body.
