Abstract: A camera control key assembly including a metal housing with a pocket containing a sensor window, a metal strip abutting a side of the sensor window, a spacer positioned to abut the metal strip, at least one capacitive touch sensor abutting the spacer, and a control key set into the pocket of the housing and contacting a first side of the sensor window. Preferably, the plastic sensor window is insert molded into the metal housing making the assembly inherently watertight. The assembly comprises at least one force concentrator on the control key to act upon the sensor window which in turn allows the capacitive touch sensor to register a multitude of different user inputs, including pressure, varied pressure, duration, taps, slides and swipes.

Abstract: A method of identifying a target vehicle in a system includes providing a sensor within a system. Motion data of a plurality of vehicles within the system is detected with the sensor. Broadcast motion data is received from a vehicle unit within the system. Which of the plurality of vehicles is a target vehicle is determined based on a comparison of the detected motion data and the broadcast motion data.

Abstract: An LED headlamp for attachment directly or indirectly to a user. Generally speaking, the disclosed headlamp includes an adjustable strap for securing to a user (e.g., head, arm, jacket, backpack, etc.), an LED array detachably securable to the adjustable strap, and a battery pack coupled to the LED array via an input power port. Preferably, the battery pack is rechargeable and is hardwired to the LED array. Optionally, the array may include a connection port that can accept any of several different power sources for powering the LED array of the headlamp, including a DC battery pack (e.g., AAA, AA batteries), a portable charger, an AC connection, to a wall outlet, and a computer USB charging connection. Further, the LED array may include a range of from 4 to 30 LEDs; more preferably, the number of LEDs is in the range of from 8 to 20. The LEDs should be spaced to provide a broadband of illumination, as opposed to a focused beam.
