Abstract

Tel que divulgué ici, un système peut comprendre un dispositif portatif et un dispositif de commande. Le dispositif portatif peut être en communication électronique avec le dispositif de commande. Le dispositif portatif peut comprendre un boîtier qui définit une cavité interne et qui définit un orifice fournissant un accès à la cavité interne. Un déclencheur peut comprendre une surface externe et une surface interne, et le déclencheur peut être orienté pour recouvrir l'orifice. Un élément de transfert peut être orienté dans la cavité interne et accouplé à la surface interne du déclencheur. Un capteur de force peut être orienté dans la cavité interne et mis en prise avec une extrémité distale de l'élément de transfert et la surface interne du déclencheur. Un rouleau de transfert peut être orienté dans la cavité interne et accouplé à l'extrémité distale de l'élément de transfert. Une came peut être orientée dans la cavité interne et conçue pour venir en prise avec l'élément de transfert. Un moteur peut être orienté dans la cavité interne et couplé à la came.
