Abstract: A sprinkler system (100) includes a body (110) defining a liquid channel (112). The liquid channel (112) is defined between an inlet (110A) and an outlet (110B) of the body (110) to allow flow of a liquid. A sprinkler head (118) is coupled to the body (110) and a plurality of nozzles (119) are disposed with the sprinkler head (118). The plurality of nozzles (119) defines a first nozzle (121) and at least one second nozzle (122). The sprinkler system (100) is characterizing in that the body (110) further defines at least one barrier (123) such that the at least one barrier (123) at least partially limits the flow of liquid from the outlet (1101B) towards the at least one second nozzle (119).

Abstract: A reel assembly (100) for coupling within a housing (160) includes an axle (110) and a reel (120) defining a rotational axis (X-X?). The reel (120) is rotatably mounted around the axle (110) to allow winding of a flexible linear component (130) on the reel (120). The reel assembly (100) further includes a frame (140) which houses the reel (120). Moreover, the reel assembly (100) includes one or more fixing units (150) to removably fix the reel assembly (100) inside the housing (160). The reel assembly (100) is characterized in that the reel assembly (100) further includes a blocking mechanism (170) that operatively couples with the reel assembly (100) and cooperates with the reel (120) for selective rotation of the reel (120). The blocking mechanism (170) disallows rotation of the reel (120) in absence of coupling of the reel assembly (100) within the housing (160).

Abstract: A watering system (100) includes a watering robot (102). The watering robot (102) further includes an irrigation controller (110) configured to operate within a region (114). A connector portion (106) is coupled to the body (104), and is adapted to couple with the one or more water supplying units (116) to receive water therefrom. The watering system (100) is characterized in that a sensor (130) of the watering robot (102) detects the one more water supplying units (116) to selectively integrates therewith. An actuator (140) of the watering robot (102) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to a ground surface (120) of the region (114). The watering robot (102) automatically couples with the one or more water supplying units (116) through the connector portion (106), and the actuator (140) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to the ground surface (120).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensor-based configuration of an approach detection for a vehicle. The apparatus includes a mechanism which is configured so as to determine a particular region to be monitored with the approach detection outside the vehicle as a function of at least one sensor signal of at least one sensor, in particular at least one camera, one infrasonic sensor, one ultrasonic sensor, one radar sensor, or one ultra-wideband sensor.

Abstract: A multi-sensory media experience delivery platform includes a vibroacoustic therapy bed that delivers a multi-sensory media experience locally stored, streaming, on-demand, or real-time signals. The vibroacoustic therapy bed drives a plurality of sensory output devices based on a set of sensory output channels to produce sounds, vibrations, light patterns, or other sensory outputs. The channels may be derived from dedicated signals created for a specific sensory output device or may be derived from an audio file or other general set of waveforms. The multi-sensory media experience may be customized to a user based on user profile data, metadata associated with the multi-sensory media experience, or biometric data. Furthermore, users can create customized multi-sensory media experiences from libraries of sounds or other media.

Abstract: A vibroacoustic therapy bed delivers a sensory experience using integrated vibrational transducers, sounds, lighting effects, and/or other sensory elements. The vibroacoustic therapy bed includes a series of interconnected base elements and a pad. The vibroacoustic therapy bed is configurable between a flat configuration in which the base elements support a user laying on the pad and a stowable configuration in which the base elements pivot with respect to each other utilizing hinge connectors to form a compact structure suitable for stowing. The base elements may furthermore include an isolation element for attenuating transfer of vibrational energy from the vibrational transducers to the ground.
