摘要： A human-machine interface device includes a touch receiver having a plurality of touch surfaces in distinctly different planes, an elastic strain sensing element having a base and a plurality of legs extending from the base and contacting an associated touch surface, a first linear strain gauge mounted on each leg to detect strain along a first direction and a second strain gauge mounted on each leg to detect strain along a second direction that is different from the first direction, and a processor configured to receive the signals from the strain gauges and determines a command operation intended by a user of the human-machine interface device.

摘要： A method of diagnosing connectivity and operational problems between a digital parallel RGB video input device and a digital parallel RGB video display includes transmitting control signals from the input device to the display device, executing the control signals on the display device, generating and transmitting diagnostic signals to a diagnostics processor, and determining if the display is functioning correctly.
