The light detector senses and/or detects movement of the shaft by an amount, a direction and/or an intensity of light transmitted by the light emitting element. The shaft rotates, twists and/or turns to move a shutter which blocks, reflects, absorbs and/or deflects light from the light emitting element. The shaft contacts a spring and/or a ball to produce a sounds which indicates the shaft is rotating, twisting and/or turning. The light detector outputs a signal via a cable based on the amount, the direction and/or the intensity of light. The signal corresponds to the position and/or location of the shaft.

129 Membrane switch and dial operation member equipped therewith US10444594 2003-05-23 US06768075B2 2004-07-27 Tomohiko Kikuchi
A membrane switch comprises a lower contact sheet having a first conductor, an upper contact sheet having a second conductor, and a spacer interposed therebetween. An application of a press force onto contact areas in the upper contact sheet causes the upper contact sheet to be bent, so that at least one of the contact areas and a corresponding contact area in the lower contact sheet come in contact with each other. The first and second conductors are always connected to each other, since a conductive area in the lower contact sheet is always in contact with a conductive area in the upper contact sheets. Hence, the contact of at least one of the contact areas with the corresponding contact area allows the membrane switch to turn on (ON) by a very small press force and therefore the reliability of the switch operation to be significantly enhanced.

136 Continuous touch keyboard US287785 1994-08-09 US5486058A 1996-01-23 Donald E. Allen
A continuous touch keyboard usable on a computer terminal, word processor or typewriter and configured to contain fourteen three-way switches, two for each thumb, one for each finger and one under each palm rest. The design is such that the hands and fingers do not need to move about to enter data, the keys being actuated by moving the fingers palmward, outward or pressing down and with equivalent motions of the thumbs and palms. Each switch controls the format of a signal from an emitter via optical fiber to a decoder. A microprocessor provides a digital scanning means and interprets or decodes the proper key position and thus the letter, numeral or function being entered.

The disc is constructed of a light-collecting polycarbonate and is formed with relatively small light radiating surface to produce high contrast at the latter. Disposed within the housing is a contactless switch arrangement including a plurality of so-called light barrier units arranged about a light source, and an actuator extending from the rear of the flexible zone. A light shield carried by the actuator controls the amount of light which impinges on the light barrier units as a function of the position of the actuator as determined by how much the flexible zone is depressed.
