Electric reclining chair with Anti-pinch protection

An electric reclining chair has a base, a linkage mechanism, a leg rest mount, and a control module. The linkage mechanism is movably mounted to the base and connected to a driver. The leg rest mount is pivotally connected to the linkage mechanism. The control module has a sensor module and a control unit. When the linkage mechanism and the leg rest mount are being folded by the driver, if an object is under the leg rest mount and abuts the leg rest mount, the leg rest mount pivots relative to the linkage mechanism, which is sensed by the sensor module. Thus, the control module controls the driver to stop folding the linkage mechanism or to unfold the linkage mechanism so as to prevent the object from being pinched.

Locating tap locations on handheld electronic devices based on inertial measurements

Systems and methods are described that use a data stream from an integrated inertial measurement unit (IMU) to identify the location of taps on the body of a handheld device in real time. Taps are generated by tapping the handheld device with an object (e.g., a finger) or by moving the handheld device and tapping it against another object. Measurements of the IMU accelerometer, gyroscope, and / or orientation (relative to the Earth's magnetic field and / or gravity) are examined to find a signature that distinguishes taps at one location on the device body compared to signal characteristics generated by taps at other locations. Neural networks and / or numerical methods can be used to perform such classification. Tap location, tap timing, and tap attributes, such as the magnitude of the applied force, the device's orientation, and the amplitude and direction of movement during and after the tap, can be used to control or adjust responses within the handheld device and / or actions in connected devices.
