  • Publication number: 20240042269
    Abstract: A treadmill and a speed control method thereof are provided. The treadmill includes a treadmill body, an event-based vision sensor, and a processor. The treadmill body includes a running belt. The event-based vision sensor is disposed on the treadmill body and generates a sensing image. The processor is coupled to the event-based vision sensor, obtains the sensing image, and performs runner detection on the sensing image. In response to determining that a runner is detected from the sensing image, the processor inputs the sensing image to a depth estimation model, obtains position information of the runner relative to the running belt, and controls the running speed of the running belt according to the position information of the runner.

  • Patent number: 11720152
    Abstract: A hinge includes two rotatable axle units each having two hinge shafts, two synchronizing units each disposed to make synchronous rotations of the hinge shafts, two movable bracket units each having a turnable base plate, two rotary blocks non-rotatably sleeved on the hinge shafts, and two movable plates movable relative to the rotary blocks, and two guiding bracket units, each having male and female arms respectively connected with two movable plates, and a plurality of guiding connecting members interposed between the arms. Each guiding connecting member has a protrusion and a sliding groove, and is angularly movable with the rotations of the hinge shafts. Removal of the protrusion from the sliding groove of an adjacent guiding connecting member is prevented by means of engagement of an abutting portion of the protrusion with an abutted block in the groove.

  • Patent number: 11720153
    Abstract: A hinge includes two rotatable axle units disposed on a base seat and each having two rotatable hinge shafts, two movable bracket units each including a base plate, two rotary blocks non-rotatably sleeved on the hinge shafts, and two movable plates movable relative to the rotary blocks, and two synchronizing units for making synchronous rotations of the hinge shafts. Each synchronizing unit includes a first gear member having two end surfaces in form of bevel gears, and two second gear members each meshing with the respective end surface and fitted to the respective rotary block. Rotations of the hinge shafts at one side of the base seat result in rotations of the rotary blocks and the second gear members, and bring in rotations of the second gear members, the rotary blocks and the hinge shafts at the other side to make the synchronous rotations.

  • Patent number: 11226684
    Abstract: A finger-gesture detection device adapted for a control handle includes a grip portion. The finger-gesture detection device includes a first wearing portion, a plurality of second wearing portions, and a plurality of first sensors. The first wearing portion is adapted to detachably surround the grip portion of the control handle. When the grip portion connects the first wearing portion, the grip portion is positioned on one side of the first wearing portion. The second wearing portions are each independently connected to the first wearing portion. When a force is applied to one of the second wearing portions, the corresponding second wearing portion moves toward the grip portion. The first sensors are respectively disposed on the second wearing portions for detecting positions or movements of the second wearing portions relative to the grip portion. A control assembly and a correction method are also proposed.

  • Patent number: 11122702
    Abstract: A monitor support device includes a base support and first and second supports mounted to the base support. The first support includes a first connecting body rotatable about a first rotational axis, and a first mounting body adapted to be mounted with a first monitor and rotatable relative to said first connecting body about a second rotational axis. The second support includes a second connecting body rotatable about the first rotational axis, and a second mounting body adapted to be mounted with a second monitor and rotatable relative to said second connecting body about a third rotational axis. The second and third rotational axes each defines an 45° angle with the first rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 10996743
    Abstract: A computer-implement operating method includes periodically generating sensing data by determining a triggered area of each of the sensors of a surface on which each of the sensors disposed; grouping effective sensors among the sensors into a plurality of sensor groups respectively corresponding to the fingers; obtaining a bending angle of one finger among the fingers according to the sensing values of the sensing data of all effective sensors in one sensor group corresponding to the said one finger among the sensor groups; and bending one virtual finger corresponding to the said one finger among virtual fingers of a virtual hand rendered in a virtual space corresponding to the electronic system according to the obtained bending angle of the said one finger, so as to render the virtual hand having a gesture matching to a gesture of the hand sensed by the controller.
