    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a controller trigger that includes an input surface configured to receive input based on movement of a finger of a user, the trigger having a range of motion along a trigger path. The apparatus further includes a mode selector configured to actuate movement of an intermediate switching component between a discrete-input mode and a variable-input mode. The intermediate switching component includes a moveable arm, and in the discrete input mode the moveable arm occupies at least a portion of the trigger path, thereby limiting the range of motion of the trigger; and in the variable input mode the moveable arm does not occupy the trigger path. The apparatus further includes a switch configured to receive input, in the discrete-input mode, based on a movement of the intermediate switching component, in response to a physical contact by the trigger.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a sensor and an airflow generator coupled to an airflow guide configured to direct airflow from the airflow generator toward and past the sensor. The system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage media embodying instructions coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more processors operable to execute the instructions to acquire data about an operational state of the system, wherein the operational state is related to at least one air contaminant generated by the system; and to control the airflow from the airflow generator based on the data about the operational state of the system.
