A miniature wireless apparatus for collecting physiological signals comprises an electrode pair, an amplifier module, a microcontroller, a wireless module, and a battery. The electrode pair collects a pair of physiological signals of a person under test. The amplifier module amplifies the pair of physiological signals. The microcontroller performs an analog-to-digital conversion and a data compression for an amplified physiological signal generated by the amplifier module. The wireless module modulates a digital physiological signal generated by the microcontroller and transmitting the modulated digital physiological signal to a receiver at the far end. The apparatus can be implemented by a structure of multilayered circuit boards. With the progress of semiconductor technology, all the components of the miniature wireless apparatus can be further integrated to one circuit board, or even one chip.

An integral volume control and switch assembly comprising a resilient conductive member serving for switching between a first and second switch state and a resilient tactile member serving for providing a user with a tactile feedback upon change of switch state. The resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member are formed by separate members. Hereby the assembly can be further miniaturised without the resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member being too small to handle in a manufacturing process. In addition, it is possible to adjust angular position of the rotatable member where switch function and tactile feedback occurs. Preferably the resilient tactile member and the resilient conductive member are spatially separated along a rotational axis of the rotatable member. The assembly according to the invention is suitable for hearing aids.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator body and a method of manufacturing the same. The refrigerator body of the present invention includes an outer case for defining an external appearance and an inner case for defining the interior of a refrigerator and has a foam insulation material filled into a space between the outer and inner cases. The refrigerator body also comprises recessed portions depressed at the inside of the inner case and protruding outside thereof in a direction of thickness of the inner case so as to fix a part to be installed and mounted on the inside of the inner case, and reinforcement members installed to be tightly coupled to the recessed portions at the outside of the inner case so as to reinforce the recessed portions. Accordingly, a foaming preparation operation can be rapidly and easily performed, and the foam insulation material can be prevented from leaking into the interior of the refrigerator.

An input device includes an operation portion, a holding portion, a detection portion and at least a switch. The holding portion holds the operation portion so that the operation portion is rotatable around a given axis. The detection portion detects a rotational position of the operation portion with respect to the holding portion. A condition of the switch changes according to an external force exerted to the operation portion.

A switch device reduces a switching sound (an impinging sound) at the time of manipulation with a constitution of a click mechanism which uses a spring member having a projection which is brought into slide contact with a cam surface formed of plateaus and valleys. The switch device includes a manipulating member having a cam surface which is formed of plateaus and valleys arranged contiguously and alternately and a spring member having the projection and generating a click feeling when the projection is brought into slide contact with the plateaus and the valleys of the cam surface. The spring member is provided with an auxiliary spring which is brought into slide contact with the manipulating member corresponding to the slide contact of the projection with the plateaus and the valleys of the cam surface. An auxiliary spring receiving portion with which the auxiliary spring is brought into slide contact is formed in the vicinity of the cam surface.

An electronic component substrate (1-1) includes an insulating base (10) and a flexible circuit board (20) mounted on the insulating base (10). The flexible circuit board (20) is a synthetic resin film provided thereon with terminal patterns (29) and a conductor pattern (25) whose surface is slidingly contacted with a slider. The insulating base (10) is a synthetic resin molded piece. The flexible circuit board (20) is insert-molded to the insulating base (10). The electronic component substrate (1-1) is produced by preparing the flexible circuit board (20) and first and second mold members (41, 45) having a cavity (C1) with a shape that corresponds to the external shape of the electronic component substrate (1-1). Then, the flexible circuit board (20) is accommodated in the cavity (C1) between the first and second mold members (41,45), and the cavity (C1) is filled with a molten molding resin. After the molding resin has solidified, the first and second mold members (41, 45) are removed.
