181 Directionally sensitive switch US324567 1999-06-02 US6069552A 2000-05-30 Anthony J. Van Zeeland
An electrical switch has spaced, facing coupler and carrier layers with a set of electrodes formed on the facing surfaces thereof. There is an aperture in the coupler layer. A conductive armature is disposed in the space between the coupler and carrier, aligned with the aperture. The coupler is a magnet and the armature is made of magnetic material so the armature is normally held in engagement with the coupler. A user can press on any part of the armature through the aperture to cause a first portion of the armature to break away from the armature and contact the electrodes on the carrier while a second portion of the armature remains in contact with the coupler. The electrodes are arranged to provide an output which is dependent upon the location of contact with the armature.

184 Force-sensing pointing device US168632 1993-12-15 US5659334A 1997-08-19 Stuart I. Yaniger; Mark C. Pickett
A thermally stable, mass-producible pointing device (10) producing an analog signal proportional to an applied force comprises actuator (20), including an arm (22) and a force transfer member (26), a connector (44), and a sensor (50). The connector maintains the force transfer member in contact with the sensor yet allows the force transfer member to change dimensions with ambient temperature without inducing stresses detectable by the sensor. In a preferred embodiment, the connector comprises an elastomeric adhesive and the sensor comprises a force-sensing resistor. The force transfer member is prevented from coming out of the assembly either by a retainer (12) comprising a shell or a potting compound retaining the force transfer member but permitting thermal expansion or contraction of the force transfer member. The force transfer member typically has a rounded or bevelled bottom surface (28) so the actuator rocks under an applied force. The area of the bottom surface of the force transfer member transferring the force changes as the actuator rocks, and the force is transferred to the sensor at a single contiguous area whose position changes in response to a change in force.
185 Variable speed tactile switch US331422 1994-10-31 US5550339A 1996-08-27 James E. Haugh
A low cost, highly sensitive tactile pointing device includes a planar substrate, an insulating spacer about a periphery of the substrate, and a planar cover. The cover in an active area carries an electrically conductive film designed to contact a conductive film carried upon an active area of the substrate. An insulating spacer and conductive dot are also located at some point within the active area to form a non-contacting rest area. Appropriate forces applied in a direction normal to the plane of the substrate or cover cause deflection, leading to contact between the cover and the substrate. The point of contact identifies intent, direction and magnitude.
186 Input keyboard for an electronic appliance in entertainment electronics US679609 1991-04-03 US5164697A 1992-11-17 Richard Kramer
An input keyboard (1) contains a switching device (3) for pushbuttons (22) wherein the contact linings (11.1, 11.2) on a printed circuit board (10) are bridged by a countercontact (16) operated by the pushbutton (22). The countercontact (16) consists of a carbonized plastic foil (14) and an electrically conducting layer (17) on the side facing away from the contact linings. By virtue of this arrangement there comes into being a bridging resistance between the bridged conductor strips (12.1, 12.2) that depends on the operating pressure (P) applied to the pushbutton, this resistance being then used to cause a control circuit arrangement (6) to generate a control command (Bf) for setting a particular function and an adjustment command (Bw) for setting a particular value or adjustment rate.

189 Electronic pressure sensitive force transducer US492536 1983-06-13 US4489302A 1984-12-18 Franklin N. Eventoff
A bounceless switch apparatus having a junction resistance which varies inversely with the pressure applied normally thereto which includes a first conductor member, a pressure-sensitive layer including a semiconducting material covering the first conductor member in intimate electrically conducting contact therewith and a second conductor member positioned in nonelectrically conducting relationship to the pressure-sensitive layer. The pressure-sensitive layer has a first surface with a multiplicity of microprotrusions of the semiconducting material which provide a multiplicity of surface contact locations. As the normally open switch is closed in response to a pressing force applied to urge the second conductor member and the first surface together, the physical contact between the microprotrusions and the second conductor increases thereby variably increasing conduction between the first conductor member and the second conductor member.
190 Force transducer US455443 1983-01-03 US4479392A 1984-10-30 John W. Froeb; Keith A. Engstrom

A preferred embodiment utilizes an elastomeric actuator to apply the force to the second means.

A manipulable force transmitting device is provided to move the electrodes toward one another and into contact, the contact area being variable with the force applied, so that the resistance across the electrodes is high when the contact area is small and lower when the contact area is larger. The device is connected to the visual display via an electrical circuit which supplies signals to move the cursor in a selected direction at a speed inversely proportional to the resistance condition.
