63 Electronic apparatus US09805030 2001-03-14 US06612761B2 2003-09-02 Katsutoshi Iura; Yuichiro Suzuki
In an electronic apparatus, a pressing of keys other than a print key is detected when the key is continuously in a pressed state for at least two periods in a key scan period. The pressing of the print key is detected when the print key is continuously in the pressed state for at least ten periods in the key scan period. This structure prevents the print key from triggering a print operation if it is accidentally pressed.
64 Telephone comprising a perfected control keypad US10106948 2002-03-26 US20020142738A1 2002-10-03 Pascal Jambie; Jean-Pierre Lubowicki; Bertrand Richez

65 Sequential stroke keyboard US09288692 1999-04-09 US06378234B1 2002-04-30 Ching-Hsing Luo
A keyboard having fewer keys than the characters available utilizes linked sequences of keystrokes in generation of some characters. Other characters may be produced with one keystroke. The difference between linked keystrokes and independent keystrokes both made in sequence is determined by either the length of the interval between keystrokes or use of a delimiting key. A threshold level for the interval between keystrokes which decides whether two sequential keystrokes are linked or not may be set by the user or may be automatically determined with the use of an adaptive predictive algorithm. It is generally suggested that pairs of keys be linked, particularly adjacent pairs of keys in a fixed configuration, and that the characters generated by either a single keystroke of a given key or the characters generated by two linked keystrokes be represented upon the keyboard in a disposition which facilitates intuitive learning of the keyboard. The characters ‘A’ and ‘B’ might both be represented between the keys identified as ‘1’ and ‘2’ with the ‘A’ adjacent the ‘1’ and the ‘B’ adjacent the ‘2’ connoting that the linked keystrokes 1-2 generate the character ‘A’, the linked keystrokes 2-1 generate the character ‘B’ and independent keystrokes 1 and 2 each generate the characters ‘1’ and ‘2’ respectively. The keys may be identified and arranged in a fixed configuration in any manner desired. A hexagonal pattern with keys identified by a simplified Morse code using ·, -, ··, --, ·-, and -· is specifically suggested for use by those having a physical disability.

68 User-configurable control device US756274 1996-11-25 US5729222A 1998-03-17 Jerry Iggulden; Richard Crack; Nigel Taylor; Bruce Stevens; Keith Constable; Derek Pyner
A user configurable control device is particularly suitable for household devices such as remote control transmitters. A variety of function control elements in the form of keys are provided to the consumer who selects a desired set of the control elements. Each of the control elements has a unique pattern of projections molded into the bottom surface. These projections are in operative alignment with an array of membrane switches disposed on a switching substrate within the control device. The control device includes a front panel that is perforated with a pattern of slots. Each of the control elements has a pair of projecting tabs that look the element onto the control panel so that it is securely retained thereon, but may be released if desired. The projections on the bottom of the element extend through the slots in the front panel to the switching substrate below. The particular pattern of projections is unique to each control element and the corresponding pattern of switch contacts closed upon actuation of the control element determines the function that is performed.

70 Touch switch arrangement for a heating cooking appliance US511330 1990-04-19 US5097113A 1992-03-17 Michishige Aoyama
A heating cooking appliance includes a heater for the cooking, a switch generating an operation signal while being touched or depressed with a finger or the like, and a microcomputer for controlling the heater so that energization of the heater is initiated in the case where the operation signal generated by the switch is continuously input into the microcomputer for a predetermined period of time. The heater is not energized only when the switch is touched by accident or mistake. When a user depresses the switch for the predetermined period of time with the intention of initiating the cooking, the heater is energized.
71 Motor control circuit for motor driven power windows US816659 1986-01-06 US4678975A 1987-07-07 Robert J. Vrabel; Jeffery L. Vajgart; Lawrence E. Staszel; Henry J. Ewald; Norman M. Haygood, Jr.; Leon M. Misewicz
A control circuit for a reversible D.C. window drive motor that allows for one touch operations of the motor to automatically lower the associated window to its full down position following a relatively short actuation of the control switch in the "DOWN" position. Subsequent actuation and release of the control switch will cause interruption and inhibit the automatic lowering of the window. Longer actuations of the control switch allows for direct movement control of the window in the downward direction. Stall current sensing and excessive time sensing provide protection to the motor and the drive circuitry.
72 Microcomputer-controlled light switch US724015 1985-04-17 US4649323A 1987-03-10 Gordon W. Pearlman; Steven B. Carlson
A light level controller includes a microcomputer controlled light switch which responds to a manual tap or a longer manual depression of the switch in order to initiate various control modes for a light source. Preset levels of light intensity may be stored in the microcomputer's memory and an automatic fade mode may be initiated to cause the level of light intensity to fade from a current level to a preset level at a pre-established rate. The controller may respond to the momentary depression of the switch to initiate the automatic fade mode or if tapped while a fade is in progress it may cause the light source to make an abrupt transition to either full on or full off, depending on whether a higher or lower level of light intensity is desired. A depression of the switch for a period longer than a tap will cause the level of light intensity to continue to change until the switch is released, and simultaneously this level will be stored in memory.
73 Hearing system with analogue control element US13501285 2009-10-15 US08792660B2 2014-07-29 Ivo Spieler; Lukas Erni; Andi Vonlanthen
A hearing system with an analogue control element including a selector for precise and reliable user selection of desired predefined settings. The selecting range of the analogue control element is partitioned into segments, each identified by an identification digit. At least two successive segments define a section. Each section represents a particular setting of the hearing system and is identified by a section digit. The hearing system stores the identification digit and the section digit in the non volatile memory according to the position of the selector. The stored identification digit and section digit are controlled by the signal processing unit and are only modified when the position of the selector is moved over at least two successive segments of the selecting range.

The dual function air-gap switch actuator is optionally fitted with an indicator lamp (265).
77 Safety switching apparatus and method for safely switching an electrical load on and off US12188259 2008-08-08 US07898118B2 2011-03-01 Thomas Nitsche; Udo Ratey; Christoph Zinser
The invention relates to a safety switching apparatus and to a method for safely switching on and off an electrical load, in particular an automated installation. The apparatus comprises a first port for a first signaling element, a second port for a second signaling element, a first switching device coupled to a first switching activator, and a second switching device coupled to a second switching activator. A time monitoring apparatus activates the first and the second switching activators only if a time between an actuation of the signaling elements is smaller than a predetermined maximum duration. The activation of the switching activators in turn causes the switching devices to be switched-through and thus the load to be switched on. For the activation of the switching activators, a first and a second switching element, which are each arranged in series with the switching activators, need to switched-through. According to one aspect of the invention, at least a first microcontroller is provided for the time monitoring, which microcontroller is designed to detect actuations of the signaling elements and to activate the switching elements in the event of the maximum duration being undershot.
