Properties:

A specially designed item which provides continuous operational switching as a result of velocity when inserted in an electrical circuit of a body in motion. A method is incorporated for manually pre-setting a velocity which determines the range within which a switching function is performed. Additional switching is performed when the velocity is not within the preset range. It may include an accelerometer, digit assembly, integrating system, and associated switching circuits. For items designed to sense the rate of change of velocity (acceleration), see accelerometer (as modified).
