A hinge assembly for a shower door includes a first panel rotatably connected to a second panel. A first hinge member has a first body portion for attachment to the first panel and a first neck portion, the first hinge member being arranged to allow rotation of the first panel with respect to the second panel about a hinge axis. The first body portion is arranged to be connected to the first panel so as to lie at least partially within a recessed region thereof, such that the hinge axis lies within a footprint of the first panel. The hinge assembly further comprises a second hinge member having a second body portion for attachment to the second panel such that the hinge axis lies outside a footprint of the second panel, and a second neck portion arranged to be rotatably connected to the first neck portion to allow the rotation.

The invention provides a semi-automatic hinge of a mobile terminal having an inward-foldable flexible screen, which comprises a middle U-shaped cover, a left support frame, and a right support frame, and the left support frame, the right support frame and the U-shaped cover are rotatably connected; a torsion mechanism is provided between the left support frame and the U-shaped cover, and the right support frame and the U-shaped cover. The invention also provides an inward-foldable flexible screen mobile terminal using the above hinge. The invention has a simple structure, can achieve the semi-automatic operation of opening and flattening and folding of the hinge, provides a better sense of operation experience, and can make the middle mechanism of the hinge not to be exposed after the hinge is closed and provide a space for accommodating the bending portion of the flexible screen.

A locking system includes a server, an electronic locking mechanism, and a controller associated with a user. The controller is configured to detect the electronic locking mechanism and acquire lock data therefrom, and transmit the lock data to the server. The server, absent any interaction from the user, is configured to receive the lock data for the electronic locking mechanism, register the electronic locking mechanism to the user, and transmit an access credential for accessing the electronic locking mechanism to a user device associated with the user. The electronic locking mechanism is configured to receive the access credential directly from the user device or indirectly from the user device through the controller and make an access decision based on the access credential, independent of the server.

A household appliance includes a door pivotable via door hinges and having an electrical load. A treatment chamber has a loading opening which is closeable by the door. An energy transmission device has a primary side including a primary coil which is attached to a stationary part of a respective one of the door hinges, and a secondary side including a secondary coil which is arranged on the door and is electrically connected to the electrical load. The primary coil is capable of being coupled in a manner of a transformer to the secondary coil when the door is closed.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may include: a body provided with a computing system; a hinge assembly adjacent to one side of the body and installed inside of the body; and a display part including a display panel for displaying a screen, wherein the display part is pivotable with respect to the body and is connected to the hinge assembly, wherein the hinge assembly may include: a hinge shaft; a first coupling part adjacent to one end of the hinge shaft, extended from an outer circumferential surface of the hinge shaft, and fixed to the display part; a second coupling part rotatably coupled to the hinge shaft and that is fixed to the body; and a foot plate pivotably coupled to the second coupling part and pivotable with the second coupling part according to the rotation of the hinge shaft.

Provided is a hinge that can prevent a defect, a failure, or the like with greater certainty, and enables inspection and repair work to be efficiently carried out. A hinge comprises a first wing member that is connected to a first connection object and a second wing member that is connected to a second connection object. The hinge rotatably connects the second connection object to the first connection object. The hinge comprises a sensor that detects a change inside the hinge or in a prescribed external environment change in the external environment detected by the sensor to the outside via a sensor that detects a prescribed component constituting an odor, a gas sensor that detects a prescribed gas, a dust sensor that detects the amount of dust, and a illumination sensor that detects brightness.
