I took it out and thumbed the little microswitch to off.

The few grams of the microswitch would not budge.

In one type of microswitch, internally there are two conductive springs.

The pressure makes or breaks the appropriate microswitch contacts.

Another is a microswitch that permits phone companies to turn service on and off at the edges of their networks without sending a technician.

The solenoid is controlled through electronics, activated by a trigger microswitch.

However the polarity of the microswitch is reversed.

It was found that the stall warning detector microswitch was intermittent in operation.

Hatfield wired the explosive charge, using a microswitch under the rails to trigger the explosion.

Recorders at the higher approval levels also have a security device such as a microswitch that operates if the recorder is opened.

Right here, just over your left-hand Fallopian tubes, is a microswitch that controls backward and forward motion.

Perhaps the most common type of float switch is simply a float raising a rod that actuates a microswitch.

Response Time Variability: A time measurement of how consistently the microswitch is pressed.

The IRA said one of its members had accidentally triggered a microswitch device which caused the bomb to explode early.

After about 7 laps by the first driver the downshift microswitch got stuck and held the pneumatic actuator in the down-shift position.

When the trigger is pulled, an electronic microswitch sends a signal to the marker's electronic board telling it to begin the firing sequence.

'We've bled her out and she's as nice as ninepence, but we found no fault unless it was the microswitch playing false.'

Large switches use separate springs, levers, and hinges to construct the tipping point, but the microswitch uses a very small kinked metal leaf spring.

Pressing down anywhere in front of that hinge causes the entire top "shell" to tilt, activating a typical "mouse clicker" microswitch.

The news feeds were triggered by a microswitch which was attached to a Western Union clock and tripped by the minute hand of the clock.

Handgrips were provided, between which was a hinged metal plate responding to thumb pressure to actuate a microswitch circuit for the firing solenoid below the cannon.

A microswitch system is always armed and is usually activated if one of the vehicle doors is opened and closed again while the vehicle's engine is running.

A mouse button is a microswitch on a computer mouse which can be pressed ("clicked") to select or interact with an element of a graphical user interface.

Strengths: One of the major strengths of the TOVA test is the use of a microswitch to record response time.
