  • Publication number: 20170055679
    Abstract: Devices and methods for displaying beauty and other visual products are disclosed. A display system can comprise a frame and a sample portion. Traits such as color and texture of a beauty product can be displayed on the sample portion, and the frame portion can interface with product shelving to align samples with relevant products in the display. The sample portion can be releasably attached to the frame to be removed by a user and be placed above a body part of the user to which a beauty product may be applied, or a body part can be placed in proximity to the sample portion even while it is attached to the frame. The user can advantageously view the beauty product as applied to the body part without applying the beauty product. The system is useful for fingernail polish display, for example.

  • Publication number: 20170055720
    Abstract: A portable device for controlling an external electrical adjustable apparatus is provided. The portable device comprises a case, a signal transmitter connected to the electrical adjustable apparatus, a tilt sensor sensing a tilted angle, a memory storing a threshold angle and a processor. The processor determines that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision when receiving a controlling signal used to control the electrical adjustable apparatus and the tilted angle is not less than the threshold angle, and sends a stopping signal to the electrical adjustable apparatus via the signal transmitter for making the electrical adjustable apparatus stop raising/lowering when determining that the electrical adjustable apparatus has collision. This present disclosed example can effectively prevent article placing on the carrying structure from falling and prevent the electrical adjustable apparatus or the obstacle from being damaged by continual stretching/shortening after collision.
