Alps Electric Developed SDKU Series Rotary-Type Power Supply Switch with Signal.TOKYO -- Alps Electric Co., Ltd (Pink Sheet:APELY) has developed power supply and mode selection functioning in a single package targeting fully automatic washing machines (storage) washing machine - An old-style 14-inch hard disk in a floor-standing cabinet. So called because of the size of the cabinet and the "top-loading" access to the media packs - and, of course, they were always set on "spin cycle". and other household appliances through the development of the SDKU SDKU Slovak Democratic and Christian Union (political party) Series of rotary-type power supply switches with signal circuitry. Sample shipments are to commence January 1, 2006. Among today's essential household consumer electronic products, methods of mode selection and power supply functioning tend to vary internationally. Take for example the washing machine: in Japan, selecting load size settings and turning the machine on and off is most commonly done through pushing a series of buttons located on the surface of the washer's panel. In Europe, however, rather than using buttons, the use of a single dial, to not only turn the appliance's power and on and off, but also to select washing modes according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the clothing fabric type (such as cotton, synthetic, or wool), water temperature and other various mode settings is increasing. In the past, this type of functioning required installation of dial function parts along with wiring leading to the power switch and the set mode options. Recognizing these market needs, Alps has accomplished the development of a single package that realizes two types of functioning in a rotary-type power switch with signal circuitry. The SDKU Series was developed based on Alps many years of accumulated ac·cu·mu·late v. ac·cu·mu·lat·ed, ac·cu·mu·lat·ing, ac·cu·mu·lates v.tr. To gather or pile up; amass. See Synonyms at gather. v.intr. To mount up; increase. insert molding technology and realizes encoder A hardware device or software that assigns a code to represent data. See encode. 1. (algorithm, hardware) encoder - Any program, circuit or algorithm which encodes. Example usages: "MPEG encoder", "NTSC encoder", "RealAudio encoder". 2. functioning for mode selection in the lower part of the product and power switch functioning in the upper part of the product. Furthermore, based on Alps' proprietary engineering technologies, the application of a detente dé·tente n. 1. A relaxing or easing, as of tension between rivals. 2. A policy toward a rival nation or bloc characterized by increased diplomatic, commercial, and cultural contact and a desire to reduce tensions, as through structure allows for user ease of use with the feeling of heavy rotation torque, which takes place within the encoder part of the set product that fulfills mode selection functioning. This secures the position of the rotary-type switch with a clicking sensation and offers users confidence in operability Operability is the ability to keep a system in a functioning and operating condition. In a computing systems environment with multiple systems this includes the ability of products, systems and business processes to work together to accomplish a common task such as finding and . Furthermore, application of a sliding contact-point structure has been utilized as the point of contact for encoder function parts, realizing excellent durability du·ra·ble adj. 1. Capable of withstanding wear and tear or decay: a durable fabric. 2. against environmental conditions and repetitive motion. Features Development of a rotary-type power switch with signal circuitry that combines power switch and encoder functioning 1. Fine electronic functioning through the realization of a single package with double function operability 2. Application of a detente structure with a heavy rotation torque sensation contributes to easy handling for users 3. Excellent durability against environmental conditions and repetitive motion accomplished through a sliding contact-point structure Principal Applications Main power and mode selection switch for washing machines and dryers Planned Sales Commencement of volume production: February 2006 Sample price: 315 yen Planned monthly production: 200,000 units (August 2006) Development: Mechatronic Devices Division, Furukawa Plant (Furukawa, Miyagi Furukawa (古川市; -shi) was a city located in Miyagi, Japan.
