Abstract
An electrical assembly including a conductor arrangement and a dual resolution potentiometer electrically connected to the conductor arrangement. The dual resolution potentiometer includes a first resistive element having a first adjustment mechanism and a second resistive element having a second adjustment mechanism. The first adjustment mechanism being coupled in a hysteresis arrangement to the second adjustment mechanism.
Claims20
An electrical assembly, comprising:
- a conductor arrangement;
- and
- a dual resolution potentiometer electrically connected to said conductor arrangement, the dual resolution potentiometer including:
- a first resistive element having a first adjustment mechanism;
- and
- a second resistive element having a second adjustment mechanism, said first adjustment mechanism being coupled in a hysteresis arrangement to said second adjustment mechanism.
A dual resolution potentiometer electrically connectable to an electrical assembly, the dual resolution potentiometer including:
- a first resistive element having a first adjustment mechanism;
- and
- a second resistive element having a second adjustment mechanism, said first adjustment mechanism being coupled in a hysteresis arrangement to said second adjustment mechanism.
A method of altering an electrical value of an electrical component, the method comprising the steps of:
- moving an adjustment of a first electrical element in a first direction, wherein said moving step causes a second electrical element to also be moved causing the electrical value to change at a first rate;
- and
- moving said adjustment in a second direction to cause said first electrical element to be adjusted apart from said second electrical element causing the electrical value to change at a second rate.
