  • Patent number: 12518861
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating generation of training data, which includes information regarding a set of physical tasks or cognitive tasks to be performed by a user (e.g., separately or concurrently), and adjusting the training data based on a performance of the user. The tasks may be directed to improving a specific health condition (e.g., balance capabilities of the user). The system obtains sensor data that is representative of user actions in performance of the tasks from sensors of a user device. The sensor data may be processed to determine performance data (e.g., physical or cognitive performance) that is indicative of the performance of the user in performing the tasks. The training data may be adjusted based on the performance data (e.g., one or more tasks or task parameters are adjusted to increase or decrease a difficulty level for the user in performing the tasks).

  • Patent number: 11197548
    Abstract: A reclining control system for a chair having a back and a seat including a rigid seat member having a bottom surface and a first rigid link having a first end and second end. The first end of the first rigid link may be adapted to engage the back and the second end of the first rigid link may be positioned proximally adjacent to the bottom surface of the rigid seat member. A rigid link may have a first end and a second end, where the first end of the rigid link may engage the bottom surface of the rigid seat member at an engagement point. The second end of rigid link may engage the second end of the first rigid link in an aft position. The reclining control system for a chair may further include a pivoting link having a first end and a second end. The first end of the pivoting link may engage the bottom surface of the rigid seat member at the engagement point and the second end of the pivoting link may engage the second end of the first rigid link in a fore position.

  • Patent number: 9693632
    Abstract: In an aspect, the invention is directed to a chair that has a pedestal and an upper assembly including a body support assembly and a tilt control assembly. A biasing member is provided to bias the body support assembly towards an unreclined position. When the chair is empty the biasing member has a certain preload. When a person sits in the chair or when a downward force is applied to the upper assembly, there is relative movement between two chair components which causes an increase in the preload in the biasing member as compared to the preload when the chair is empty. As the downward force on the upper assembly increases, the preload in the biasing member increases.

  • Patent number: 9545154
    Abstract: A shelf assembly includes a shelf and a mounting structure for mounting the shelf on a substantially vertical surface. The shelf is pivotably mounted on the mounting bracket proximate the rear end and pivots from an open position to a closed position and from the closed position to the open position. An engagement structure on the shelf, which may optionally be positioned proximate the rear end of the shelf, is configured so that a force applied to the engagement structure when the shelf is in the closed position will urge the shelf toward the open position. The shelf assembly is particularly useful in hospital settings where hospital staff need to open and close the shelf without the use of their hands.
