摘要： A wireless battery-operated window covering assembly is disclosed. The window covering has a head rail in which all the components are housed. These include a battery pack, an interface module including an IR receiver and a manual switch, a processor board including control circuitry, motor, drive gear, and a rotatably mounted reel on which lift cords wind and unwind a collapsible shade. The circuitry allows for dual-mode IR receiver operation and a multi-sensor polling scheme, both of which are configured to prolong battery life. Included among these sensors is a lift cord detector which gauges shade status to control the raising and lowering of the shade, and a rotation sensor which, in conjunction with internal registers and counters keeps track of travel limits and shade position.

摘要： A powered remotely actuated control system adapted for use in a covering system for an architectural opening and a covering system incorporating the control system are described. The control system includes: (1) a translational drive system for selectively moving a vertically-orientated vanes between extended and retracted positions, (ii) an angular drive system for selectively pivoting or rotating the vanes between an opened angular position and a closed angular position; and (iii) a logic system for determining the relative translational and angular positions of the vanes, as well as, decoding and executing commands received from a wireless remote control.

摘要： Apparatus for allowing a welder to control the output power of a welding machine, and thus its arc power by applying force to a surface of a force sensing transducer assembly. The force sensing transducer assembly generates a force signal based upon the force applied, for example by reducing the resistance within the force sensing transducer assembly. A control interface module then receives the force signal and controls the welding machine power output based upon the force signal. The welder may set the range of force to change the arc power by setting a minimum amount of force to actuate the welding machine and a maximum force that increases the output power of the welding machine (force below the minimum does not actuate the welding machine and force above the maximum does not increase the welding machine power above a certain level). A user interface provides potentiometers for setting the minimum and maximum, and also provides indicators such as LEDs for indicating whether the welding machine is turned on and actuated. The force signal may be transmitted over a cable or wirelessly.
