Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure comprise methods, apparatus, systems and software for use in implementing acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The methods include notifying or reminding users to track completion of exercises, and to track and/or monitor awareness of urges and the number of times the user allows urges to pass. Also, physical sensors can be employed to help monitor the user's detrimental behaviors and to send notifications or reminders to the user to perform exercises or track urges.
Abstract: A timepiece equipped with an alarm mechanism having a striking device and a minute repeater mechanism provided with a striking device. The two striking devices share at least one gong and one hammer. A power source can be locked when the mechanism is at rest and unlocked when the mechanism is in operation. An adjustment system can be used to program the alarm time. A trigger system includes a control member which controls the unlocking of the power source and a cam which is kinematically connected to the movement and performs one revolution every 24 hours. A first striking mechanism is equipped with at least one hammer arranged to strike at least one gong, and a supplemental striking mechanism is equipped with at least one hammer arranged to strike at least one non-resonant object, wherein the power source drives one or the other of these striking mechanisms.
Abstract: An alarm clock includes a time indicator, a first alarm for sounding a first alarm at a preset time, a manual rotary bezel provided rotatable relative to the time indicator outside same for setting a time elapsing from the alarm time, and a second alarm for sounding a second alarm when the time set by the rotary bezel has elapsed since the preset time. After the first alarm is sounded at the alarm time, and after the time set by the rotary bezel has elapsed, the second alarm is sounded. The time interval after which the second alarm is sounded is set by a simple operation and two-staged sounding ensures proper awakening of the sleeper.
Abstract: A device for setting the time of actuation of a buzzer or other signal generator in an alarm clock comprises a flexible stem of a manually operable knob, rotatably journaled in two mounting plates, which carries a pinion normally engaging gear teeth of a disk freely rotatable about the hour shaft of the clockwork, the disk being under axial spring pressure urging it against an adjacent hour wheel which has one or more cutouts adapted to receive respective sawtooth-shaped cams on a confronting disk face when the wheel reaches the selected angular position. The user may turn the knob in either direction to advance or delay the selected time setting, except that any delay of 12 hours or more from the time of resetting is prevented by the interengagement of a steep cam flank with an edge of the associated cutout. If the user neverless turns the knob beyond that limit, the stem yields laterally and disengages its pinion from the disk teeth to obviate any damage to the mechanism.
