Rotational over travel protection for preventing over rotation of an object
A rotational over travel protection device for preventing over rotation of at least one of a cable, or a component operable with the rotational over travel protection device is provided. The device includes a housing, a rotatable shaft connected to the housing that can rotate relative to the house, and a triggering device supported in the housing and rotatable with the rotatable shaft. The device also includes a first and second rotational limit switch disposed in the housing. The switches are operable to be activated by the triggering device to arrest rotation of the rotatable shaft upon relative rotation of the rotatable shaft and the housing either a first or second rotation direction, respectively, at least 180 degrees from a zero position.
SEAT BELT ATTACHMENT/DETACHMENT DETECTION SWITCH
A seat belt attachment/detachment detection switch comprises: a printed circuit board including a circuit for detecting attachment/detachment of a seat belt; a movable plate configured to slidably move along with insertion of a tongue plate of the seat belt; a rotor including a lever coupled to the movable plate, the rotor being rotatably attached to the printed circuit board to rotate as the tongue plate is pushed into a buckle; and an electric brush attached to the surface of the rotor that faces the printed circuit board, the electric brush having leg parts that change a state of contact/non-contact with a conductive part of the circuit in accordance with a rotating state of the rotor.

System for adjusting pressure limits based on depth of the diver(s)
A depth selector or current depth provider for use by a variable speed air system. As a depth selector it is preferably in the form of a rotary switch on the user interface for the air system. The rotary switch can have 3 positions for maximum depth selections, such as, without limitation 15, 25, and 65 feet. Other depth values and number of depth selections provided can be used and all are considered within the scope of the disclosure. A microcontroller of the system reads the voltage from the voltage divider created by the rotary switch selection to determine which position the rotary switch is in. The microcontroller uses this information to set the upper and lower pressure limits for the dive.
