A pair of work gloves with an attached directional illumination device is disclosed. A miniature illumination device is affixed thereto the back of the hand area of the work glove via hook-and-loop fasteners. The lighting device takes the form of a small enclosure that houses batteries and a lens with a reflected array of forward facing high-intensity light emitting diodes (LED's). A pushbutton switch is located on top of the case for on/off operation. In use, the apparatus provides a high level of illumination directly in front of the person's hands allowing use while working at night, when light levels are low, as well as in cramped areas where nearby objects restrict the effectiveness of remote lighting devices. The invention is especially valuable in situations where it is impossible to hold a flashlight such as when one needs both hands to perform work.

The invention provides a vibration signal calibration method, a storage medium and electronic equipment. The vibration signal calibration method comprises the following steps: firstly, determining a mapping relationship between a vibration effect parameter of a calibration motor and a calibration parameter thereof (the calibration parameter is a parameter reflecting a relationship between a structure parameter of the motor and a vibration displacement of the motor), so that after the initial vibration signal X drives the calibration motor, the detection value of the calibration parameter is obtained; and judging whether the value of the vibration effect parameter corresponding to the negative value of the detection value is superior to the value of the vibration effect parameter corresponding to the detection value in the mapping relation, if so, setting the initial vibration signal to be -X, and if not, setting the initial vibration signal to be X, thus enhancing tactile feedback of the calibration motor. Thus, in the batch use process of the motor, each motor monomer can carry out adaptive calibration on the vibration signal according to the structural parameters of the motor monomer, and the consistency of vibration feedback in the batch use process of the motor is improved, and tactile feedback is enhanced.
