PC keyboards are used every day and regular keyboards are a heaven for bacteria and viruses.

A recent survey published by ABC News found out that some of them are even dirtier than a toilet.

Also, contaminated PC keyboards can spread diseases, as this ABC news article correctly indicates.

Hoffmann + Krippner has the perfect solution: The MediBoard is a specially designed PC keyboard with an antibacterial surface. Unlike other medical keyboards which are often made of rubber or silicon, the MediBoard is the only medical keyboard with a solid enclosure.

The MediBoard from Hoffmann + Krippner is ideal for use in medical technology. the surface is antimicrobial and reliably kills off many viruses and bacteria.

The MediBoard is splash-proof according to IP65, and is therefore easy and fast to clean. The super flat housing withstands not only all common disinfectants but is also beautifully designed.

The tactile lenticular keycaps in innovative GT technology, developed according to a registered process, and the resistive mouse pad guarantee good tactile sensation and easy operation - with and without protective gloves.

Hoffmann + Krippner introduces the new SENSOFOIL membrane potentiometer with magnetic operation. These potentiometer are already successfully in use within pressure-based lineary and rotary drives.

Here, a magnet is going passed the membrane foil within 1 to 3 mm. The foil, being analog to the magnet, then returns a hysteresis-free analog voltage signal. Multimillion operation cycles are easily possible, depending on the individual design.

The magnet can be placed "outside" of the actual potentiometer, for example on the surface of the synthetic housing.

Hoffmann + Krippner’s newly developed SENSOTOUCH is a freely controllable and programmable resistive sensor controller for a variety of different applications. SENSOTOUCH consists of two resistance sheets that are imprinted perpendicular to one another. Through use of a special resistance paste, the third dimension (Z-Level) can also be utilised.

SENSOTOUCH consists of two resistance sheets that are imprinted perpendicular to one another. Through use of a special resistance paste, the third dimension (Z-Level) can also be utilised.

This innovative technology is also available as a hand-operated membrane potentiometer with a digital signal ("Set-function") which can be activated through a slightly increased operating force.

Hoffmann + Krippner, a leader in customer-specific input systems will showcase its Sensofoil© membrane potentiometer and unveil its innovate capacitive keyboard to the US market at the Electronics West 2009 tradeshow in Anaheim, CA, February 10 -12, 2009 (Booth #363).

“We are particularly looking forward to participating in the upcoming ‘Electronics West 2009’ show as this is the West coast’s premiere event for companies seeking exceptional solutions for their electronics’ needs,” says Hoffman + Krippner’s President, Guido Woska.

The company’s Sensofoil® potentiometer technology includes various field applications and exemplary utilizations in array of industries:

• Automotive: Sensofoil® can control and are not exclusively limited to the convertible hood or the electrical seat adjustment.
• Medical: Used in life-saving systems and technologies. Sensofoil® is used as input system (an alternative to knobs) or also to determine accurate values (i.e. within pumps or in operating tables).
• Aviation: Sensofoil® can be used to determine the position of movable business and first class seats (memory function) and is the perfect solution for input systems such as seat control units.

Not exclusively limited to the aforementioned industries, Hoffmann + Krippner’s Sensofoil® technology is also utilized in door systems, portable devices, robotic systems, as well in the food processing industry.

“By introducing its Sensofoil® membrane potentiometer line at this event, Hoffmann + Krippner Inc. brings the world`s most reliable ultra-flat membrane potentiometer to the attention of the public,” said Woska.

Woska added, “This product line features a technology and quality level unmatched by competitors and enables customers to replace conventional linear or rotary potentiometer with Sensofoil® membrane potentiometer, which reduce the installation space, are completely waterproof and offer attractive cost-saving options if compared to mechanical potentiometers.”

In addition to its Sensofoil® membrane potentiometer, Hoffmann + Krippner Inc will unveil what is considered an input device of the future, the capacitive keyboard.

The technology behind the capacitive keyboard allows for flat designs and is applicable behind glass, plastic or other insulating surfaces; the creative concept behind the technology also provides protection to the system which is resistant to acids, dirt, and other contaminants.

“We are excited to be able to meet professionals, engineers and executives alike, who look for customized control units but without compromising on quality or innovativeness,” said Woska.

The Electronics West 2009 tradeshow will be hosted at the Anaheim Convention Center located at 800 W. Katella Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92802. For additional information visit: http://www.electronicswestshow.com
