  • Publication number: 20240029546
    Abstract: A device which includes a microphone configured to detect a noise from a surrounding area of the device; an electronic circuit coupled to the microphone, wherein the electronic circuit comprises (i) at least one low-pass filter configured to filter the detected noise and (ii) a frequency-to-voltage converter configured to convert a frequency of the filtered detected noise into a voltage; a machine learning unit comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to analyze the detected noise using a machine learning algorithm stored in the memory; and an alarm unit configured to receive, from the machine learning unit, information on the analyzed detected noise and to receive, from the electronic circuit, the voltage.

  • Patent number: 10697163
    Abstract: An actuating device for a sanitary fitting comprising a housing (2) having a front side (13) and a rear side (14) and also a detection sensor (3) having a transmitter (4) and a receiver (5) for detecting a user, wherein the detection sensor (3) emits waves via the transmitter (4) and receives them via the receiver (5). The detection sensor (3) is arranged in a cavity (6) that has a radiating region (7a), which is transparent to said waves, in the direction of said waves; and wherein the housing (2) is designed such that it is installable having a gap (7b) in relation to a predefined installation plane (ME) on the structure side, which gap (7b) is located in relation to said radiating region (7a) such that the emitted waves and also the waves to be received are guided through the gap (7b).
