  • Publication number: 20250145057
    Abstract: A seat control apparatus and method are disclosed. The seat control apparatus identifies whether a state of a rear seat passenger is a first specified state when it is identified that the rear seat passenger is seated on a rear seat. The apparatus identifies whether a state of a user seated on a front seat is a second specified state indicative of carelessness when the passenger seated on the rear seat is in the first specified state. The apparatus determines a control parameter including slide movement amounts of the front seat and/or the rear seat and/or a swivel direction of the front seat based on first body information of the rear seat passenger and second body information of the user when the user is in the second specified state. The apparatus provides the user with seat control information including the determined control parameter.

  • Publication number: 20250143382
    Abstract: An inhalation stick that looks like a traditional tobacco cigarette and mimics the feel of a traditional tobacco cigarette both in the hand and on the mouth. The inhalation stick has a cartridge assembly and a filter that are linearly aligned and are wrapped in traditional tipping paper. The cartridge assembly includes a tube. Scented bodies, in the form of menthol crystals and/or scented oils, are inside the tube. When an individual inhales through the inhalation stick, the volatiles from the menthol crystals and/or scented oil are released into the inhaled air. This scents the inhaled air and provides taste and smell to the inhaled air. Accordingly, the fingers, lips, taste buds and olfactory senses all are provided with sensory inputs that mimic the smoking of a cigarette. This sensory input is sufficient to trick the subconscious mind and satisfy one's craving to smoke.
