  • Publication number: 20180275865
    Abstract: An adjustable mirror, including a mirror within a fixed housing, whereby at least one angle of the mirror relative to the housing is adjustable, electrical equipment within the housing and attached to the rear of the mirror, operative to adjust the at least one angle of the mirror, a rounded surface projecting toward an operator of the mirror, and a sensor, connected to the electrical equipment, operative to detect the operator's hand following the rounded surface, and to instruct the electrical equipment to adjust the at least one angle of the mirror in response to the detection.

  • Patent number: 10007422
    Abstract: A steering wheel for a vehicle, including front and back semi-toroidal surfaces joined at their outer circumferences by a light guide in the shape of a circular rim, and enclosing a toroidal volume having a cavity therein, a PCB mounted in the cavity, an alternating array of invisible-light emitters and receivers mounted on the PCB, such that the light guide projects invisible-light beams emitted by the emitters radially outward of the steering wheel, and directs reflections of the projected light beams off of a driver's hands radially inward to the steering wheel toward the receivers, and a processor connected to equipment mounted away from the steering wheel, the processor synchronously activating each emitter with a respective neighboring receiver, identifying a driver's hand gestures along an arc of the light guide based on reflected light detected by the receivers, and controlling the equipment in response to the thus-identified hand gestures.

  • Patent number: 9750889
    Abstract: Device for medicament delivery with syringe-like usability having a restraining mechanism A device for medicament delivery with syringe-like usability comprising at least one grip, at least one medicament container holder, and at least one plunger rod being substantially rotationally fixed relatively to the grip. The medicament container holder (13) is movable towards the grip in a longitudinal direction of the device, and rotation of at least one rotatable part (40), which is rotatable relatively to the grip and substantially inhibits movement of the plunger rod (20) in a longitudinal direction for dose delivery when in at least one locking position until being rotated, is restrained by at least one restraining member (42) abutting or being connected to the rotatable part (40) and the grip (30) until the medicament container holder is moved towards the grip for interacting with the at least one restraining member.

  • Patent number: 9389710
    Abstract: A steering wheel for a vehicle, including a toroidal steering wheel surrounding an airspace and mounted in a vehicle, an array of invisible-light emitters mounted in the steering wheel to project invisible light beams across the airspace, an array of light detectors mounted in the steering wheel to detect the invisible light beams projected by the invisible-light emitters, and to detect gestures inside the airspace that interrupt the invisible light beams projected by the invisible-light emitters, and a processor connected to the light detectors to identify the gestures inside the airspace detected by the light detectors, and to control an item of equipment mounted in the vehicle, in response to the thus-identified gestures inside the airspace.
