Systems and methodologies are provided for improving dynamics of striking a key on a keypad during operation thereof, by shifting contours (e.g., slope of a key's surface plane) on surface of a key, based on location of that key on the keypad, and a manner (e.g., the finger used) the key is being stroked. Accordingly, the subject invention can employ varying surface contours to optimize contact between a user's finger and the key at any point depending on predetermined geometric locus for the movement of a user's hand and / or fingers when employing the keypad. A wave key and a pillowed key arrangement are disclosed according to exemplary aspects of the invention. Moreover, a raised protrusion (“ski jump feature”) can be provided around edges of keypad to enhance grip capabilities for the key pad and / or the host device.

The invention relates to the field of heat exchange, in particular to water, oil, CO 2 A device for heat exchange between similar or non-homogeneous media such as air, refrigerant, etc. The micro-pass plate is composed of an inner medium flow channel and two outer heat exchange surfaces. The inner medium flow channel is composed of a distribution channel, a collection channel and a network of intersecting micro heat exchange channels. The inlet end of the micro heat exchange channel is connected with the distribution channel, and the outlet end is connected with the collection channel. The micro-pass plate is compositely formed by two plates, and the periphery of the two plates and the raised joint in the middle are tightly combined to form a whole. The network-shaped interlaced micro-channels and numerous recombination points evenly distributed on the entire plate surface make the medium in the flow channel form turbulent and swirling flow, and exchange heat with the outside through the thin plate quickly and efficiently. The micro-pass plate has many advantages such as ultra-thin, good mass production processability, high heat exchange efficiency, small volume, and low cost.
