Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an inline capacitive touch switch (ICTS) with an ergonomic design to register with a body portion. In an illustrative example, the ICTS may include a single inline circuit board (SICB) extending in a horizontal axis, serially and operably connecting an input port and an output port. The SICB, for example, may include a capacitive touch input electrode directly disposed on a gap of the SICB. The ICTS may, for example, further include a housing enclosing the SICB entirely. For example, the housing may include at least one saddle depression. For example, each of the at least one saddle depression may, for example, be registered with the corresponding capacitive touch-input electrode. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a visually apparent touch area for the user to operably engage with the at least one capacitive touch input electrode through the housing.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a stretchable cover assembly permeable to electromagnetic signals formed within an enclosed device envelope to increase the resilience of the actuator body envelope against high-pressure fluid. In an illustrative example, a cover assembly is configured to encapsulate an electronic device. For example, the cover assembly may include a unitary envelope formed from a translucent, radio permissive, and ultraviolet light reflective material. An internal cavity defined by the unitary envelope may repeatedly receive substantially an entire exposed surface of the electronic device. The cover assembly may include an elastic opening that, in a relaxed state, the elastic opening is configured to be sealingly pressed against the enclosed electronic device forming a seal around the entire elastic opening to form a dust-tight and watertight cover.
