Military Rugged Control Panel

Challange:
An off-the-shelf pointing device had to be integrated into an elastomer containing other switches.

Solution:
Careful review and fitting allowed elastomer design to be common to entire part -- including the pointing device.

Application:
Military rugged control panel.

Innovations:
Pointing device achieves very good subjective control in a sealed mechanism.

Satellite Communication Device for NASA

Challange:
Rack mounted assembly subject to torque that could diminish and distort the display image.

Display Technology
Touch screen – 5-wire resistive with optical lamination and backlit LCD.

Solution:
Specialized metal sub-assemblies with overlay materials that would optimize the touch screen performance.

Application:
Satellite communication device for NASA

Innovations:
Marrying the touch screen with the membrane materials and LCD to the specialized metal sub-assemblies.
