  • Publication number: 20240092415
    Abstract: An HOD device, comprising: a framework; covering material, covering the frame work; at least one conductive region, provided on or in the covering material; wherein the conductive region is coupled to a capacitance detection circuit or a predetermined voltage level. The HOD device can be a vehicle control device such as a steering wheel. The conductive region comprises conductive wires which can be threads of the covering material. By this way, the arrangements of the conductive wires can be changed corresponding to the size or the shape of the frame work or any other requirements. Also, the interference caused by unstable factors can be improved since the conductive wires can be coupled to a ground source of the vehicle to provide a short capacitance sensing path.

  • Publication number: 20120157873
    Abstract: A wake-up device, used for awaking a user in a nap or a short-term sleep, includes an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor, a processing module and a wake-up module. The EEG sensor is disposed on the user's head for sensing an EEG signal from the user. The processing module is coupled with the EEG sensor, and receives and processes the EEG signal. If the user is determined in the sleep stage 2 according to the EEG signal, the processing module outputs a wake-up signal. The wake-up module is coupled to the processing module for receiving the wake-up signal, and awakes the user according to the wake-up signal.
