Abstract: A switch device includes (a) a switch arranged on a bottom of a recess, and (b) a waterproof sheet adhered at its outer edge to a wall defining the recess, at a certain height to entirely cover the recess therewith.

Thus, the rotary body of the control unit can continuously rotate at an angle of 180 degrees in a single direction, and the eccentric hole will change its position between an upper point (H) and a lower point (L) in order to move the push-pull rod for displacing the switching element for the on-off control. Moreover, the press-button switch can be smoothly disconnected in off state for ensuring the electric safety in case of overload current.

Abstract: An inductor is integrated in VLSI and ULSI technology products for very high frequency applications. The inductor is in a microstrip transmission line configuration which can be designed in a form of straight line, spiral line or Meander line. The inductor is formed by shorting the microstrip center conductor to the lower level ground plane at one end of the transmission line. This results in an inductance which, for a given design of transmission line, and in a specified frequency range, is independent of frequency, within the operating design range. The microstrip transmission line provides an inductance which could be used on any type of substrate, with either low or high resistivity. The microstrip transmission line could utilize two or all of the metal wiring levels of the technology, allowing a wide range of inductance and quality factor design tradeoffs.
