A keyboard and a notebook computer with the keyboard are provided. The keyboard is installed on the notebook computer. The keyboard includes a membrane circuit board, a key frame, a key, a linking rod and a fixing plate. The linking rod is connected with the key frame. The fixing plate is disposed under the key frame. While the linking rod is rotated relative to the key frame to push the key frame, a position-limiting structure of the key frame is moved along a guiding structure of the fixing plate. Consequently, the key frame is limited to be moved in a first axial direction. Moreover, when the key frame is moved to a locked position at the same level with a keycap of the key, the keycap cannot be pressed down.

A contact has a flat surface and a side surface that is parallel to the flat surface. At least a part of the side surface is curved so as to swell. At least a part of the contact is able to be elastically deformed in parallel to the flat surface.

This invention makes reference to interrupter high voltage air-insulated telescopic disconnection switch with moving contact for supplying pressure, consisting of: a first male conductor comprising a first guide-positioner means internally coupled with such first male conductor via an intermediate section, a plurality of double-sided contact plates peripherally coupled with the intermediate section border; a second female conductor coaxially separated from the first male conductor comprising a second guide-positioner means internally coupled with such second female conductor by an intermediate section; a plurality of double-sided contact plates peripherally coupled with the intermediate section border; a moving conductor consisting of guide means internally coupled with such moving conductor by an intermediate support, being such conductor mobile and coaxially coupled with the interior of the first male conductor, where it moves to an open position, and is separated from the first male conductor and to a close position where such moving conductor causes a contact between the first male conductor and the second female conductor, by interacting among themselves to the first guide-positioner means of the first male conductor, the second guide-positioner means of the second female conductor and the guide means of the moving conductor; a plurality of contact plates peripherally coupled with the intermediate support border of the moving conductor, each of such contact plates having contact means for supplying pressure.

The utility model discloses a silent switch, which includes a base and an upper cover disposed above the base. The upper cover is combined together with the base to form an accommodation cavity, and a guide core is provided inside the accommodation cavity, which includes at least one upper silencing pad arranged at the upper portion of the inner side of the accommodation cavity, and at least one lower silencing pad arranged at the lower portion of the inner side of the accommodation cavity; The lower silencing pad buffers and silences the impact force of the guide core moving down, and the upper silencing pad buffers and silences the impact force of the guide core moving up and resetting. The silent switch provided by the utility model realizes the silencing effect when pressing down and springing up to reset.

Pressure sensitive key techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes at least one pressure sensitive key having a flexible contact layer spaced apart from a sensor substrate by a spacer layer, the flexible contact layer configured to flex responsive to pressure to contact the sensor substrate to initiate an input, for a computing device, associated with the pressure sensitive key. At least one of the flexible contact layer or the sensor substrate are configured to at least partially normalize an output resulting from pressure applied at a first location of the flexible contact layer with an output resulting from pressure applied at a second location of the flexible contact layer that has lesser flexibility than the first location.

An electronic apparatus having a switch device capable of suppressing collision noise is disclosed. The switch device is equipped with a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact, and a metal dome that serves as a movable contact movable in a direction to be contacted with or separated from the first fixed contact. In a configuration in which the metal dome is moved to provide an electrical contact or a separation between the metal dome and the first fixed contact, whereby the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact are electrically connected therebetween, a conductive layer made of an anisotropic conductive sheet is provided between the first fixed contact and the metal dome.

A keyboard and a notebook computer with the keyboard are provided. The keyboard is installed on the notebook computer. The keyboard includes a membrane circuit board, a key frame, a key, a linking rod and a fixing plate. The linking rod is connected with the key frame. The fixing plate is disposed under the key frame. While the linking rod is rotated relative to the key frame to push the key frame, a position-limiting structure of the key frame is moved along a guiding structure of the fixing plate. Consequently, the key frame is limited to be moved in a first axial direction. Moreover, when the key frame is moved to a locked position at the same level with a keycap of the key, the keycap cannot be pressed down.

Different types of user inputs can be input by a user via a keyboard of an input device. These different types of user inputs include, for example, key strikes, multi-touch interactions, single finger motions, and/or mouse clicks. Touch information regarding the pressure applied to the keys of a pressure sensitive keyboard over time (or the contact area of the user input for other types of keyboards over time) is used to classify the intent of the user input as one of the various types of user inputs.

The present utility model discloses a combined mute switch comprising a base and an upper cover arranged above the base, an accommodating cavity being formed in the combination of the upper cover and the base, a guide core being arranged in the accommodating cavity; at least one upper elastically deformable silencing member is arranged on the upper cover and on the top wall of the accommodating cavity; at least one lower elastically deformable silencing member is arranged on a lower end of the guide core; an impact force of the guide core moving downwards is damped and silenced by the lower elastically deformable silencing member; and an impact force of the guide core moving upwards to be reset is damped and silenced by the upper elastically deformable silencing member. The combined mute switch provided by the present utility model achieves a mute effect when being pressed and popped to reset.

Flexible hinge and removable attachment techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a flexible hinge is configured to communicatively and physically couple an input device to a computing device and may implement functionality such as a support layer and minimum bend radius. The input device may also include functionality to promote a secure physical connection between the input device and the computing device. One example of this includes use of one or more protrusions that are configured to be removed from respective cavities of the computing device along a particular axis but mechanically bind along other axes. Other techniques include use of a laminate structure to form a connection portion of the input device.
