Introduction

The Self-Calibrating Auditory Tone Infrared (SCATIR) Switch is a multi-
purpose momentary-contact optical switch with auditory feedback 
designed for use by persons who experience difficulty in activating 
mechanical switches. It works by detecting a beam of reflected pulsed 
infrared light. It is suitable for use with a variety of movements, includ-
ing eye-blink, eyebrow movement, finger movement, head movement or 
facial muscle movement. It works on an optical principal therefore it can 
be activated at a distance. The controlling body part does not need to be 
in physical contact with the switch sensor.
