IP 28 Mechanical interaction substitution
IP 28 Someone else/Mechanical interaction substitution
Mechanical interaction substitution by replacing mechanical systems with optical, electromagnetic or other fields.
Replace connections in systems where the connection is mechanical by optical, acoustical or olfactory actions.
Use electromagnetic, radio or other fields.
Use moving or dynamic fields.
Use fields with ferro-magnetic objects.
TV remotes - audio, infra-red, radio. Wireless. alarm systems or computer networks.
Magnetic drives connections, such as in car speedometers.
One way in which mechanical systems evolve over time is by replacing purely mechanical interactions with non-mechanical fields or optical connections. Such non-mechanical connections allow greater flexibility and ease of use, and typically improve performance and reliability.
Optical sensors, as opposed to physical arms or tripwires, do not need to touch the item, which is clearly a real benefit in such areas as food production.
Electromagnetic couplings can be more easily controlled and at a distance, and have the potential to more readily adjust strength or degree of the connection. Radio connections, such as the Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) format, provide almost unlimited potential for replacing personal mechanical interactions with lights, door locks and across wired interfaces.
