ALPS Developed SSCM Series Compact, Two-Way Detection Switches; New Detection Switches Offer Two-Way Detection and High Contact Reliability.TOKYO -- ALPS Alps, great mountain system of S central Europe, c.500 mi (800 km) long and c.100 mi (160 km) wide, curving in a great arc from the Riviera coast on the Mediterranean Sea, along the borders of N Italy and adjacent regions of SE France, Switzerland, SW Germany, and (Pink Sheets: APELY) has developed the SSCM SSCM Society for Seventeenth Century Music SSCM Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary (religious order) SSCM Society of Critical Care Medicine SSCM Space Station Change Memo SSCM Strategic Supply Chain Manager series of highly versatile, high-contact-reliability two-way detection switches. ALPS will begin shipping samples in the second half of December. Today, mobile devices such as digital cameras and digital video cameras have become significantly smaller and thinner, while at the same time incorporating an increasing number of functions. In order for device manufacturers to incorporate these functions, it is necessary that internal components also become smaller and thinner, while offering high reliability. The SSCM series detection switches provide detection of mechanism operation and recording media insertion insertion n. the addition of language at a place within an existing typed or written document, which is always suspect unless initialled by all parties. in compact mobile devices, as well as detection of change from zoom To change from a distant view to a more close-up view (zoom in) and vice versa (zoom out). An application may provide fixed or variable levels of zoom. A display adapter may also have built-in zoom capability. to wide angle, photography mode settings, and other operations in digital cameras. Because the SSCM series detects movement in two directions, it can detect both sliding and rotating ro·tate v. ro·tat·ed, ro·tat·ing, ro·tates v.intr. 1.

Using its proprietary high-precision processing technology, ALPS used fixed contact points on both the left and right sides of the switch to achieve a clip type, two-sided sliding contact point structure. This structure makes the SSCM series resistant to vibration, impact, and contaminants such as particles <onlyinclude> This is a list of particles in particle physics, including currently known and hypothetical elementary particles, as well as the composite particles that can be built up from them. and dust, which makes these devices highly reliable. The SSCM series is compact and thin, with dimensions of 5.0mm (Width) x 4.0mm (Length) x 1.5mm (Height), which gives device manufacturers greater freedom of design. Principal Applications --Detection of mechanism operation in DVDs, digital cameras, and other devices --Detection of mode change and zoom operation in digital cameras and digital video cameras.
