Abstract: Various embodiments of a fall-detection system for detecting personal fall while preserving the privacy of a detected person are disclosed. This disclosed fall-detection system can begin by receiving a sequence of video images comprising a person being monitored. The disclosed fall-detection system then processes each video image in the sequence of video images by: detecting the person in the video image; and extracting a skeletal figure of the detected person by identifying a set of human keypoints from the detected person. Next, the disclosed fall-detection system processes the sequence of skeletal figures corresponding to the sequence of video images by labeling each skeletal figure in the sequence of skeletal figures with an action among a set of predetermined actions. The disclosed fall-detection system subsequently generates a fall/non-fall decision for the detected person based on the set of action labels corresponding to the sequence of video images.

Abstract: A locking device is provided adjacent to a side opening of a container and includes a handle having a driving section and being pivotally turnably mounted to a top of the container; a long bar-shaped locking member having two opposite ends pivotally connected to the top and a bottom of the container to be turnable toward or away from the side opening; and a return spring mounted on the handle. The locking member includes an upper section located adjacent to the driving section. When the handle is pivotally turned from a horizontal to a vertical position relative to the top, the driving section is turned to drive the upper section for the locking member to pivotally turn toward the side opening. A container using the above locking device is disclosed. When the container is lifted at the handle, the locking member is driven to automatically lock the side opening.

Abstract: A keyswitch includes a base, a keycap, a lift mechanism, a touch circuitry portion, and an outer covering layer. The keycap is connected to the base through the lift mechanism so as to move up and down relative to the base. The touch circuitry portion is disposed on the top surface of the keycap. A connection circuitry portion extends from the touch circuitry portion. The outer covering layer covers the touch circuitry portion and at least a portion of the connection circuitry portion. Thereby, the keyswitch can provide touch function without excessively increasing the whole thickness of the keyswitch. A keyboard includes a plurality of the keyswitches and therefore can provide touch function without excessively increasing the whole thickness of the keyboard.
