Subclass of Class 338 - Electrical resistors
Definition: Subject matter wherein normally only a portion of the facing
No. of patents: 7
Last issue date: 05/13/2003


NumberTitleIssue Date
6563415Analog sensor(s) with snap-through tactile feedback
An analog sensor depressible by a single human finger/thumb. Depressive force is applied to a dome-cap and to analog materials for varying an analog output of the sensor responsive to varying force applied by a single finger or thumb. Depressive force cau...
