摘要： A keyboard mechanism for a low-travel keyboard and methods of fabrication are described. The low-travel keyboard is suitable for a thin-profile computing device, such as a laptop computer, netbook computer, desktop computer, etc. The keyboard includes a key cap that can be formed of a variety of materials in the form of a flat slab. The key cap is attached to one end of a support lever that supports it from underneath. In one embodiment, the support lever is formed of a rigid material and is pivotally coupled with a substrate on the other end. In another embodiment, the support lever is formed of a flexible material and is fixedly attached to the substrate on the other end. The portion of the support lever that is attached to the key cap is positioned over a metal dome that can be deformed to activate the switch circuitry of the membrane on printed circuit board underneath the dome.

摘要： A narrow key switch for a low travel keyboard and methods of fabrication are described. The low-travel keyboard having narrow keys is suitable for a thin-profile computing device, such as a laptop computer, netbook computer, desktop computer, etc. The keyboard includes a key cap positioned over an elastomeric dome and a two-part scissor mechanism having two separate linkage structures on opposite sides of the dome. A link bar is also provided to transfer a load from a side of a key to the center if the key cap is depressed in an off-center manner. Transferring the load to the center helps to deform the elastomeric dome so that it can activate the switch circuitry of the membrane on printed circuit board underneath the dome. Separating the linkage structures into two separate parts allows for the use of a full-sized elastomeric dome for a narrow key switch. The full-sized dome provides the desired tactile feedback to a user. Thus, the tactile feel of the key is not compromised even thought the key is narrower than a conventional key.
摘要翻译：描述了用于低行程键盘的窄键开关和制造方法。具有窄键的低旅行键盘适用于诸如膝上型计算机，上网本计算机，台式计算机等的薄型计算设备。键盘包括位于弹性圆顶上的键帽和两部分剪刀机构在圆顶的相对侧上具有两个独立的连接结构。如果钥匙盖以偏心方式被按压，还提供连杆以将负载从钥匙的一侧传送到中心。将负载转移到中心有助于使弹性体圆顶变形，从而可以激活圆顶下方印刷电路板上膜的开关电路。将连杆结构分成两个分开的部件允许使用用于窄键开关的全尺寸弹性体圆顶。全尺寸圆顶可为用户提供所需的触觉反馈。因此，即使认为钥匙比传统钥匙更窄，钥匙的触感也不会受到影响。

摘要： An input device is disclosed. The input device includes a movable touch-sensitive track pad capable of detecting an object in close proximity thereto so as to generate a tracking control signal. The input device also includes a movement indicator capable of detecting the movements of the movable track pad so as to generate one or more other control signals (e.g., button signals). The control signals can be used to perform actions in an electronic device operatively coupled to the input device.

摘要： A test apparatus configured to test connectors is provided. The test apparatus may include a fixture that holds a first connector and an actuator that holds a mating second connector. The actuator may axially displace the second connector in and out of engagement with the first connector. A compliance mechanism, which may be coupled to the fixture or the actuator, may provide one of the connectors with compliance in order to facilitate alignment of the connectors during engagement and disengagement thereof. The compliance mechanism may allow movement of one of the connectors perpendicularly to the actuation axis and/or angular movement about the actuation axis while preventing axial movement within the compliance mechanism. Accordingly, forces associated with engagement and disengagement of the connectors measured by a load cell may more closely resemble actual forces experienced by a user during use of the connectors.
摘要翻译：提供了一种配置成测试连接器的测试设备。测试装置可以包括保持第一连接器和保持配合的第二连接器的致动器的固定装置。致动器可以将第二连接器轴向移动进入第一连接器并脱离与第一连接器的接合。可以联接到固定装置或致动器的顺应性机构可以使连接件中的一个具有顺应性，以便于在接合和分离连接器期间对齐连接器。顺应性机构可以允许一个连接器垂直于致动轴线移动和/或围绕致动轴线的角度运动，同时防止顺应机构内的轴向移动。因此，与由测力传感器测量的连接器的接合和分离相关联的力可能更接近于使用者在使用连接器期间经历的实际力。

摘要： A computer keyboard includes a plurality of keys arranged in a pattern contained within a plane, a webbed structure defining openings for each of the keys, an illumination source, and one or more light pipes positioned along the webbed structure and arranged to deliver light from the illumination source to the keys, wherein each of the keys is illuminated thereby. Although the keys have the appearance of being backlit similar to traditional illuminated keyboards, the illumination source is actually located along at least one side of and within the same plane as the pattern of keys, rather than beneath the keys. The keyboard can thus be made thinner in such arrangements where the illumination source does not need to be located beneath the keys.
摘要翻译：计算机键盘包括以包含在平面内的图案布置的多个键，限定用于每个键的开口的网状结构，照明源，以及沿着网状结构定位的一个或多个光管，并布置成将来自照明源到键，其中每个键被照亮。虽然键具有类似于传统照明键盘的背光的外观，但是照明源实际上沿着键的图案而不是在键的下方沿着与键的图案相同的平面内的至少一侧并且位于同一平面内。因此，可以在这样的布置中使键盘更薄，其中照明源不需要位于键下方。
