Abstract: A system comprises a sensor zone comprising a cover layer comprising a first surface and a second surface that are opposite from one another. The first surface of the cover layer comprises a textured surface. A sensor unit is disposed on or adjacent to the second surface. The sensor unit is configured to detect a user's contacting the textured surface, and generate a digital data indicative of the detection. The system comprises a complex comprising one or more fluidic channels (e.g., tubes) disposed within one or more grooves of a support member (e.g., foam). The system comprises one or more sensors. The one or more sensor(s) is disposed over, in, or under the support member. The system is comprise a protective layer disposed adjacent to and covering a top surface of the support member.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure provides a system comprising a sensing device comprising a housing and at least one sensor in sensing communication with an outer environment of the housing. The at least one sensor can be configured to detect a user radiation signal that is reflected or emitted by at least a portion of a body of the subject. The system can further comprise a reference device comprising at least one radiation source configured to output a reference radiation signal. The user radiation signal and the reference radiation signal can be analyzed to determine a physiological feature of the subject.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods (e.g., computer-implemented methods) for regulating the temperature of a bed device. The methods (e.g., computer-implemented methods) can regulate the temperature of the bed device based on biological sex, age, time of night, season, geolocation, and women's health.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for regulating a temperature of a portion of an article of furniture, and methods of use thereof. The system may comprise at least one sensor configured to detect a biological signal of a user of the article of furniture. The system may comprise a temperature control device configured to change the temperature of the portion of the article of furniture. The system may comprise a processor configured to (i) designate, while the user is asleep on the article of furniture, a time for the article of furniture to wake up the user based on the biological signal of the user that is detected by the at least one sensor while the user is using the article of furniture, and (ii) change the temperature of the portion of the article of furniture by the temperature control device prior to the time.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor device of an article of furniture. The sensor device may comprise a flexible sensor. The flexible sensor may comprise a flexible circuit board (e.g., a flexible printed circuit board) having a piezoelectric material. The sensor device can detect one or more biological signals of a user of the article of furniture comprising the sensor device. The flexible sensor may be sandwiched between two conductive layers. An electrical insulator may be disposed between the flexible sensor and at least one of the two conductive layers.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for adjusting a bed device. The systems and methods comprise an adjustable bed frame. The adjustable bed frame comprises one or more zones, each of the one or more zones comprising one or more adjustable sections. Each of the one or more adjustable sections is configured to independently adjust at least one angular position thereof relative to a rest position, to incline or decline said one or more adjustable sections. The systems and methods further comprise a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the adjustable bed frame. The processor is configured to direct the adjustable bed frame to independently adjust the at least one angular position of said each of the one or more adjustable sections based on one or more of a biological signal of at least one user or an instruction from said at least one user.

Abstract: Introduced are methods and systems for an adjustable bed device configured to: gather biological signals associated with multiple users, such as heart rate, breathing rate, or temperature; analyze the gathered human biological signals; and heat or cool a bed based on the analysis.

Abstract: Introduced are methods and systems for monitoring a person's sleeping patterns, and detecting episodes of sleeping disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. In one embodiment, a sensor strip attached to the mattress monitors the user's breathing, and detects signature frequencies corresponding to snoring and sleep apnea. Once a sleeping disorder is detected, a notification can be sent to a device associated with the user, or the user's bed can be automatically adjusted to alleviate the sleeping disorder.
