103 High speed serial scan and read-out of keyboards US3745536D 1971-03-01 US3745536A 1973-07-10 KLEHM W
Relates generally to the production of electrical signals from a keyboard, each key of which is individually operatively associated with a switching device whose activation to electrical conductive condition is controlled by the displacement of the key. These switches are hermetically sealed from the atmosphere and are electrically scanned in succession at relatively high speeds and at a repetitious rate such that several scanning cycles occur during the normal activation of a selected key. The keyboard mechanism also includes a shift register having one more bit position than the number of switch devices and into which a bit is introduced into the ''''one'''' position at the instant the scan encounters a closed switch of the keyboard. This bit is then shifted through the register in timed relation to the scan of the remaining key switches and unloaded into the last bit position of the register. A detector senses the presence of a bit in both the ''''one'''' position and the last position of the shift register and upon detection of a bit solely in the one position it delivers a signal indicative of the character represented by the actuated key and upon detecting bits in the two extreme positions of the shift register it nullifies the delivery of such a signal.
104 Push-button switch with resilient conductive contact member with downwardly projecting ridges US3728509D 1971-08-18 US3728509A 1973-04-17 SHIMOJO T
A push-button switch comprises a substrate on which two conductive networks are formed, those networks comprising adjacent but separated conductive paths, a push-button member with a contact member thereon being mounted on the substrate with the contact member normally above and in registration with the separated conductive paths. The contract member is formed of elastic and electrically conductive material and is adapted when it is pushed down via the push-button member to engage the substrate, and hence the separated conductive paths, over an appreciable area, thereby ensuring effective switch operation.
105 Pressure-operated layered electrical switch and switch array US3617666D 1970-04-30 US3617666A 1971-11-02 BRAUE CHARLES E
A pressure-operated electrical switch unit having a layered construction including a substantially planar surface to which pressure is applied to close the switch. The removal of the pressure opens the switch. The switch includes a layer having at least one elongated opening in it which permits portions of the layer to be deflected into an opening in an adjacent layer to move one electrically conductive layer to complete the electrical circuit. An array of the switches may be used for supplying signals created by the pressure of a writing instrument.

107 Rocker input mechanism US14926618 2015-10-29 US10002731B2 2018-06-19 Paul X. Wang; Ryan P. Brooks; Waylon Y. Chen
A rocker input mechanism includes an actuator that is operable to pivot against the interior surface of a housing through which an actuation surface of the actuator projects. Pivots or up-stops on the edges of the actuator are biased against the interior surface by dome switches contacting a switching surface of the actuator that is opposite the actuation surface. Thus, the actuator is able to pivot with respect to the interior surface to activate the dome switches when force is exerted on the actuation surface without bending or flexing like typical rocker buttons. As a result, the rocker input mechanism may have a feel to a user similar to non-rocking input mechanisms like single mode buttons.
108 Haptic peripheral having a haptically-enhanced user input element including a mechanical key and an integrated smart material actuator for providing haptic effects US15159258 2016-05-19 US09981183B2 2018-05-29 Danny A. Grant; William Rihn

The haptically-enhanced user input element is configured to receive an input from a user, and includes a mechanical key having a keycap with a user contact surface configured to contact the user and a smart material actuator integrated onto the user contact surface of the keycap. The smart material actuator is configured to receive a control signal from a processor and is configured to deform at least a portion of the user contact surface relative to the keycap of the mechanical key in response to the control signal from the processor to thereby provide a haptic effect to a user of the haptic peripheral. The haptic peripheral may also include a braking actuator coupled to the mechanical key to hold the mechanical key in a depressed position to indicate an inactive status to a user. In addition, the haptic peripheral and the haptically-enhanced user input element may be modular.
