Abstract: A control panel for controlling a security system. The control panel may comprise: one or more components; a memory for storing booting instructions, and a processor for executing the stored booting instructions. When carrying out a booting process defined by the booting instructions, the processor may be configured to generate at least one random time-delay value; assign the at least one random time-delay value to at least one booting stage of the booting process; delay the at least one booting stage of the booting process by the at least one time-delay value. Each of the at least one time-delay value may be assigned to one booting stage of the booting process, and each of the at least one booting stage may correspond to booting at least one of the one or more components.

Abstract: A smart doorbell is provided. The doorbell may be connected to a remote device. The doorbell comprises a processor: a call button configured to output a first signal when the call button is actuated by a user; and a temperature sensor positioned with respect to the call button such that when the call button is actuated by a user, the temperature sensor is capable of taking temperature measurements on a part of the user's wrist facing the temperature sensor. In response to the call button being actuated by a user, the processor is configured to receive the first signal from the call button: command the temperature sensor to measure a temperature of a part of the user's wrist: compare the temperature measured by the temperature sensor to a predefined threshold temperature: output a second signal according to the comparison between the temperature measured by the temperature sensor and the predefined threshold; and transmit the first signal and the second signal to at least one remote device via the network.

Abstract: An elastic device structure includes two identical connection seats and multiple elastic members. Each connection seat is defined with a central line and has a protruding connection section and a connected section. The connection section and connected section are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the central line. A laterally protruding lateral hook is disposed on the connection section. The connected section is formed with a receiving channel for receiving the connection section of the other connection seat. A stop raised block is disposed in the receiving channel and positioned at a dead end of slide paths of the lateral hook. Multiple receiving sockets are disposed beside the connection section and connected section. Two end sections of the elastic members respectively extend into the receiving sockets, whereby the two connection seats are elastically slidable relative to each other.

Abstract: A strap with transmission line functionality includes a strap body, a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The strap body has at least one signal line wrapped therein. The first connecting end is disposed at one end of the strap body and the second connecting end is disposed at an opposite end of the strap body so that signals can be transmitted between the first connecting end and the second connecting end via the signal line disposed in the strap body. The first connecting end is directly fixed to and electrically connected with an electronic product, and a signal connector is also disposed at the second connecting end to connect with an external device. The strap body is substantially looped into a circular form so as to be used as a wrist strap or a neck strap of the electronic product.

Abstract: The invention resides in a new reinforced furniture strut, a method of constructing furniture in a modular fashion using a reinforcing strut and a method of constructing a chair in modular fashion incorporating the reinforcing strut for narrow package shipping. This invention satisfies the long felt need of providing furniture that may be repeatedly assembled and disassembled without substantial wear and damage to the furniture materials, yet result in a stable, high-quality piece of furniture, and without unappealing external bracing or the like. The present invention solves these problems by providing a strut containing a metal (or other rigid material) rod encased in the material the furniture is constructed of. The ends of the rod are threaded to allow the strut to be affixed to the furniture piece with a nut or bolt. These reinforcing struts appear to be ordinary furniture components but instead possess the strength of metal.
