  • Rotary Selector and Circuit
    Publication number: 20130180840
    Abstract: A rotary selector may include a first switch contact, which is open in an off-mode angular range, and which is closed outside of said off-mode angular range, in particular used for switching on or off an electrical load. An encoding device may generate an angle-dependent code over a predefined angular range. The rotary selector may also include a second switch contact, which is closed in a plurality of start-angular ranges, and which is open outside of said start-angular ranges.

  • Capacitive contact switch
    Patent number: 7507929
    Abstract: A detector for a capacitive contact switch comprises a flat material consisting of a transparent carrier foil and a ITO-coating. The ITO coating is embodied in the form of a transparent electric conductor. The flat material can be arranged between a transparent cover and a lighted display in such a way that a sensor element is obtained. The flat material as the sensor element 10 makes it possible to represent an illuminated symbol or the corresponding display thereof.
