  • Publication number: 20240074576
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for controlling positioning of a desk. An exemplary apparatus includes a tabletop, expandable legs, motors, position sensors, a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions. The motors alter a length of one of the expandable legs. The position sensors identify current position of each of the plurality of expandable legs. The instructions cause the processor to receive a sensor signal, a communication signal, or a command signal, receive the identified current position of one or more of the expandable legs, determine a projected length value for the one or more expandable legs responsive to the received sensor signal, the communication signal, or the command signal, and command one or more of the plurality of motors based on the projected length value for the one or more expandable legs and the identified current position of the one or more expandable legs.

  • Publication number: 20220378111
    Abstract: A method for activating a vaporizer device may include a point-of-sale device receiving, based on an identifier of the vaporizer device, activation data associated with the vaporizer device. The vaporizer device may be activated by communicating, to the vaporizer device, the activation data. The point-of-sale device may communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device via a dock coupled with the vaporizer device. Moreover, the point-of-sale device may communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device through a packaging of the vaporizer device. Alternatively, the point-of-sale device may communicates the activation data to the vaporizer device by communicating the activation data to a computing device associated with a user of the vaporizer device. The computing device may further communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device via audio signals and/or optical signals corresponding to the activation data. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.
