  • Publication number: 20240185739
    Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a user interface of a user device. The user interface may also be used to begin the breathing sequence. Prior to beginning the breathing sequence, the user device can determine a breath ratio for the breathing sequence based on a breathing profile. The breath ratio is based at least in part on inhale time and exhale time of a breath of the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate corresponding to the breath ratio. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element.

  • Patent number: 11967246
    Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a user interface of a user device. The user interface may also be used to begin the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element. During the breathing sequence, heart rate data may be collected and used to present heart rate information at a conclusion of the breathing sequence.

  • Publication number: 20240102811
    Abstract: A first input to a mobile device indicates a first navigation destination at a first level of specificity. The mobile device initiates navigation towards a first location corresponding to the first navigation destination. While navigation towards the first location corresponding to the first navigation destination is ongoing and before reaching the first location, in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, the mobile device prompts for an input for determination a second location corresponding to a second navigation destination with a second level of specificity, the second level of specificity more specific than the first level of specificity. The mobile device receives a second input in response to the prompt. In accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies one or more second criteria, the mobile device initiates navigation towards the second location corresponding to the second navigation destination.

  • Publication number: 20240093845
    Abstract: A system may have a support structure that separates an exterior region from an interior region. The system may include a lighting system with interior and/or exterior lights with adjustable diffusers. An interior light may be used as a task light, a cabin light, a sensor indicator light, or a trim light. Adjustments to the adjustable diffusers can be used to adjust the angular spread of emitted light for operation in different lighting modes.

  • Publication number: 20120147173
    Abstract: A hand-carryable pushrod-based camera system includes a storage cage rotatably supported on a manually-graspable handle, a semi-rigid pushrod having a distal end, at least a portion of the pushrod being coiled within the storage cage, an image monitor supported on the handle, a camera comprising an illumination system, the camera being supported on the distal end of the pushrod and being capable of capturing at least one of video and still images; and a cable extending along and supported by the pushrod, the cable comprising a first conductor carrying a power signal to the camera and a second conductor carrying an image signal from the camera to the image monitor. The cable may include no more than four conductors in a low-voltage system. The camera system may include a port permitting physical detachment of the image monitor, and a controller board wirelessly communicating image signals to the image monitor.
