Abstract:
An electro-technical device includes a first housing portion electrically isolated from a second housing portion with a point source being disposed within the first housing portion. A movable conductor is connected to the first portion and is responsive to an electric field generated by the point source to cause the movable conductor to contact the second housing portion to complete a circuit and send out a control signal.
