Generally described, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to switch assemblies and methods for switching from one state to another. In some examples, a switch assembly may switch from one electrical contact to another electrical contact by moving a conductive spring or member from a first conductive contact on a printed circuit board (PCB) to a second conductive contact on the PCB. For instance, in one embodiment, a conductive member moves within a slot in the PCB. In another embodiment, a compression force applied to a conductive spring is reduced while the conductive spring moves from a first conductive contact to a second conductive contact.

Electrical switches and methods

A reader such as a barcode reader identifies at least one potential target such as a barcode symbol in its field-of-view, and projects or transmits an indicator toward or proximate the potential target containing information about the respective potential target. Such information may include which target is currently active, the symbology in which the target is encoded, the relative position of the reader with respect to the target, the ability of the reader to decode the target, and/or ranked or sorted order information regarding the target and neighboring targets. The reader may rank, sort, prioritize or otherwise determine order based on various parameters, including symbology, position in field-of-view, size, etc., and may base such on past history of the reader and/or user, and may weight such.
