  • Patent number: 8173915
    Abstract: An ignition key switch apparatus having a compact size, high current capability, and a snap action mechanism. A pre-loaded snap spring can be configured to include a fixed end attached to an anchor and a free end attached to a movable contact operable between normal and actuated positions. A cam can be utilized to convert a rotary motion at a key interface into a linear movement of a plunger for snap spring blade actuation. The unique pre-loaded snap spring generates a fast (e.g., instantaneous) movement from an open to a closed position and vice versa upon application/removal of a load to reduce the effect of arcing on associated contacts and conductors. The pre-loaded snap spring also ensures that the movable contact does not remain in any intermittent position, other than the two extreme positions given at any position of the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20120023081
    Abstract: Methods and systems for utilizing images of interest to a user, so far as they relate to recent, current or upcoming events, to generate custom search engine home pages are provided. Upon receiving a request from the user to view the search engine home page, it is determined whether any indicators of the user's interests are available. If one or more interest indicators is available, the indicator(s) are compared to interest indicators (or categories of indicators) associated with recent, current and/or upcoming events to determine if there is a common interest indicator/category there between. Upon determining that there is a common interest indicator/category between one or more events and the user, a custom image is selected for presentation in association with the search engine home page based upon the common interest indicator/category. The search engine home page with the custom-selected image is then presented to the user.
