Abstract: A clock that runs along a path while lighting elements along the path. Each element along the path can be lit in a different color. One of the colors represents hours one represents minutes and the other represents seconds. Values which are lit continually change as times change, but this allows an artistic display of time.

Abstract: A continuously variable, remote controller including a pair of first and second frequency oscillating circuits, each circuit including a separate induction coil for producing an induction field thereabout, the normal resonating frequency of the first oscillating circuit being different from the normal resonating frequency of the second oscillating circuit, the first and the second oscillating circuits producing a baseline frequency that is the difference between the two the oscillating circuits, each of the induction coils including an induction field modifying armature, when a rocker block is pivoted about a fulcrum, in a first radial direction, the first induction field modifier engagement surface will engage the first induction field modifying armature and move it across the induction field generated by the first induction coil, to alter the oscillating frequency of the first frequency oscillating circuit, a subtractor adapted to receive the frequencies outputted from the first and the second frequency osc

Abstract: An elastomeric rocker switch assembly (10) which is particularly suitable for hand held industrial controllers includes an elastomeric switch pad (11) having one or more rocker switch blocks (13) suspended within a sheet (12) by a thin, flexible and resilient web (14). A base plate (25) is provided to support the sheet (12) and to provide a rocker fulcrum point (27) for each rocker switch. An electrical switch supporting member, here printed circuit board (29), is positioned in spaced relationship to the underside of base plate (25), the circuit board having one or more pairs of momentary push button switches (30) thereon, one pair per rocker switch. Switches (30) are positioned to interfere with the underside of the rocker switch when the switch is pivoted about its fulcrum point.
