Abstract: An apparatus and a method for force sensing, and an electronic device. The apparatus includes a sensor and a filter. The sensor is configured to generate a first signal which is determined based on deformation of at least a part of the sensor and temperature of at least the part of the sensor. The part of the sensor is attached to a deformable portion of the electronic device. The filter is configured to receive the first signal, and remove a change from the first signal to acquire a second signal, where the change is due to the temperature of the part of the sensor. In comparison with the first signal, the second signal is less sensitive to the temperature, and therefore can indicate the deformation of the deformable portion more accurately. The electronic device can make an accurate response when the deformable portion deforms.

Abstract: When a stepping motor is de-energized, a valve shaft is turned in a direction to open a valve body under the resilient forces stored in a fully opening spring through a receptacle and a driven plate. At this time, a drive plate is turned in unison with the driven plate. When the valve body reaches a fully open position, a positioning finger on the drive plate abuts against a stopper pin, thus stopping the turning movement of the drive plate.
