Abstract: This disclosure describes a telephone station dial having a compliant membrane supporting an array of pushbuttons. A conductive region on the membrane beneath each button contacts, on depression, printed circuit paths associated with two trigger circuits that in turn connect to a specific pair of multifrequency oscillator inputs. The trigger circuits comprise field effect transistors which provide a specified, unvarying output signal in response to the impedance change, either resistive or capacitive.

Abstract: A signal-actuating device having its major component parts molded as a single piece. The actuating device includes a single body composed of an elastomeric material which is a glycol cured isocyanate terminated polyester formulated to be virtually a true gel, character symbols bonded on the body representing key positions and Mylar circuitry strips of etched copper wires bonded to raised projections located on the underside of the body. Contact made by depressing a key gives a binary-coded output, as well as providing a signal for activating distant devices.

Abstract: A contact element for the intermittent contacting of conductor tracks on a circuit board, in particular, for flexible touchpads, for example for flexible input devices in the automobile industry, is made from a metal foam. The metal foam may be at least partly infiltrated by an elastomeric material which can also be the material of construction of the touchpad. The contact element has a very reliable construction which is particularly suitable for high voltage application. A method for production of the contact element, touchpads/input devices with such contact pads and the use of the contact pads is also provided.

Abstract: Key actuators and other switching devices are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material. The conductive loaded resin-based material comprises micron conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The ratio of the weight of the conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers to the weight of the base resin host is between about 0.20 and 0.40. The micron conductive powders are formed from non-metals, such as carbon, graphite, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from metals such as stainless steel, nickel, copper, silver, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from a combination of non-metal, plated, or in combination with, metal powders. The micron conductor fibers preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber, stainless steel fiber, copper fiber, silver fiber, or the like. The conductive loaded resin-based key actuators and other switching devices can be formed using methods such as injection molding compression molding or extrusion. The conductive loaded resin-based material used to form the key actuators and other switching devices can also be in the form of a thin flexible woven fabric that can readily be cut to the desired shape.
