18 Oct 2013TL;DR: An electronic device finder system includes a vehicle having a door handle, a piezo switch operatively positioned within the door handle and a signal transmitter operatively connected to the switch as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: An electronic device finder system includes a vehicle having a door handle, a piezo switch operatively positioned within the door handle, and a signal transmitter operatively connected to the piezo switch. The piezo switch has an on state that is triggered by door handle movement, and the signal transmitter is to generate a signal in response to detection of the on state of the piezo switch. An electronic device, selected from the group consisting of a key-fob and a mobile device, includes a signal receiver to receive the signal from the signal transmitter and an alarm system operatively connected to the signal receiver. The alarm system is to generate an alarm in response to the signal receiver receiving the signal.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electric switch, especially a piezo switch, with optical and/or mechanical feedback of the switching operation is described, which can be activated by means of an activating element (9).
Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch, especially a piezo switch, with optical and/or mechanical feedback of the switching operation. The switch contains at least one switching element (18), especially beneath a cover panel (1), which can be activated by means of an activating element (9). This causes a switching signal to be generated and guided out via electrical contacts. The activating element (9) itself is configured in the form of a passive luminous body consisting of an at least translucent material, which can be illuminated by active luminous means (15). The mechanical feedback of the switching operation can take place using a vibrator which is activated by the switching operation that has been initiated and conveys a vibrating motion to the luminous body (9).

TL;DR: In this article, a control device and a power supply unit are connected with an electric current supply connector for providing functional units, which are to be controlled, of the electric appliance with current.
Abstract: A circuit arrangement for an electric appliance, having a control device and a power supply unit connected with an electric current supply connector for providing functional units, which are to be controlled, of the electric appliance with current. A switch is provided on the electric current supply connector for cutting off the power supply unit from the electric current supply connector on a primary side. The switch has a piezo switch which is open in the non-activated state. The circuit arrangement of this invention is used, for example, in connection with electronic household appliances.

17 Oct 2007TL;DR: In this paper, a piezo-switch is arranged below an operating area and an electronic unit has an amplifying circuit for amplifying a switching signal of the piezo switch.
Abstract: The device has a piezo-switch (10) arranged below an operating area. An electronic unit (12) has an amplifying circuit (14) for amplifying a switching signal of the piezo-switch. The amplifying circuit includes an operational amplifier (OP1), and a resistor (R5) for defining an amplifying factor. The electronic unit has a time selectivity circuit (16) for defining an adjustable time selectivity of the piezo-switch. The electronic unit has a threshold circuit (18) for digitizing the switching signal of the piezo-switch. A power supply (22) supplies power to the electronic unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a switching device.
