Abstract

An assembly for a wall-mounted or surface-mounted switch comprises a housing, a shell, and circuitry board. The housing comprises a base and a sidewall defining an interior space, a resilient arm projecting from the base into the interior space. The shell has a sidewall and is mounted to the housing to enclose the interior space. The interior of the shell includes a switch contact surface. The circuitry includes a switch such as a tactile or linear switch. The shell is movable from a disengaged position to an actuating position in response to force applied to the exterior of the shell. Applied force causes the switch contact surface to actuate the switch and the shell to deflect the resilient arm. When the applied force is removed, the resilient arm returns the shell to a neutral position.

Abstract

A wireless load control system is provided including one or more wireless switch components and one or more load controller components optionally in one-to-one, many-to-many, many-to-one, and one-to-many wireless communication with each other. A wirelessly-controlled load controller assembly includes an enclosure adapted to fit within a junction box, the enclosure comprising a projecting fitting adapted to fit through an aperture of the junction box to maintain the enclosure in fixed relation to the junction box. A control circuit in the enclosure is provided with an antenna that extends through an antenna port that is disposed within the fitting so that when the load controller is mounted in a junction box, the antenna extends through the aperture of the junction box.

Abstract

A memory life extension system and method is provided for managing operation of rewritable memory used to store a monotonically increasing sequence of multiple-byte binary values in a set of one or more memory locations in the rewritable memory. A first value is read in from a set of one or more memory locations. On detection of an instruction to store an incremented value, the incremented value is permuted by applying an encoding, in which a value of a least significant bit changes only on every second increment, to two least significant bits of the incremented value. On overflow of a least significant byte as a result of the increment, a cyclic byte-wise shift is applied to the incremented value. The permuted incremented value is then stored in the one or more memory locations.
