Abstract: Techniques for strength training using an exercise system including an electric linear motor. The exercise system includes a stand, including the electric linear motor comprising a mover and a rotor, and a user interface. The exercise system further includes an exercise attachment coupled to the mover in the electric linear motor, and a controller configured to control force generated by the electric linear motor, where an amount of force required to move the exercise attachment changes based on the force generated by the electric linear motor, and configured to display information related to moving the exercise attachment.

Abstract: A toilet training device comprises a processor, a housing, several light-based time of flight (TOF) sensors, several LEDs, a sensor enclosure, and a clip. The clip attaches the device to the rim of a toilet bowl pointing the TOF sensors towards the water surface inside the toilet bowl. Each TOF sensor projects several light beams towards the toilet bowl, receives light reflected, makes measurements of the distance to the nearby object, and makes measurements of the signal strength of the reflected light. The processor generates a contour map and identifies one or more zones of interest as the water surface based on the distant measurements, determines excrement is released in the toilet bowl changes in the signal strength measurements are outside a signal strength range, and displays LED light patterns in response to determining the excrement is released in the toilet bowl.
