  • Publication number: 20240142563
    Abstract: A method and a system for wireless positioning are provided. Multiple received signal strengths corresponding to multiple wireless access points are measured by a user device. The received signal strengths include multiple first received signal strengths. A reference positioning position is obtained according to positioning reference information provided by the user device. A first positioning position based on the first received signal strengths is obtained. The reference positioning position is compared with the first positioning position. In response to the distance between the reference positioning position and the first positioning position being greater than a tolerance value, at least one of the first received signal strengths is excluded from the multiple received signal strengths, so as to obtain multiple filtered received signal strengths. A user position of the user device is obtained according to the filtered received signal strengths.

  • Publication number: 20050088405
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a pivot unit coupled to a main housing and a cover body such that the cover body is pivotable about a longitudinal axis parallel to a top surface of the main housing, and about a vertical axis transverse to the top surface of the main housing. A virtual control key module configures a display panel mounted on a first surface of the cover body to show simulated control keys thereon when the portable electronic device is operated in a mode, where the cover body is superimposed on the main housing such that a second surface of the cover body opposite to the first surface faces toward the top surface of the main housing. The simulated control keys have distinct functions assigned thereto and are available for selection so as to enable execution of the function assigned to a selected simulated control key.

  • Patent number: 5911316
    Abstract: A device for manually turning-on at least one circuit-breaker from the front panel of a cabinet includes at least one sleeve having a front end and a rear end. The sleeve extends through an aperture in the front panel and is movable between a backward position, in which the front end of the sleeve projects slightly from the front panel, and a forward position, in which the front end of the sleeve projects away from the front panel. A spring is compressed to push the sleeve from the forward position to the backward position. A rod is operably connected to the sleeve so as to be displaced following the forward movement of the sleeve and to remain in its position uneffected by the backward movement of the sleeve.
