  • Patent number: 11995971
    Abstract: An example system coupled to a rollator for monitoring usage of the rollator, includes a grip assembly and/or a hip sensing assembly. The grip assembly includes a first sensor configured to detect a force applied to the first sensor. The hip sensing assembly includes a second sensor configured to measure a distance between the second sensor and a hip of the user positioned with respect to the rollator. A microcontroller is electronically coupled in signal communication with the first sensor, the second sensor, and a feedback circuitry. When the force applied to the first sensor exceeds a first threshold, the microcontroller activates the feedback circuitry to generate a first response indicating that the first threshold has been exceeded. When the distance exceeds a second threshold, the microcontroller activates the feedback circuitry to generate a second response indicating that the second threshold has been exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20050235051
    Abstract: A method of establishing a plurality of target device settings for at least one target device based on a plurality of source device settings of a source device via a network includes the steps of writing each setting of the plurality of source device settings to the at least one target device, generating an invalid setting indication for each setting not accepted by the at least one target device, querying the at least one target device for setting information based on each the invalid setting indication, and writing, for at least one of each setting not accepted by the at least one target device, a value to the at least one target device, the value corresponding to the setting information.
