A bicycle seatpost system comprises an electric actuator, a remote controller, and a seatpost controller. The seatpost controller is configured to control the electric actuator to change a state of the bicycle seatpost assembly to an adjustable state based on one of a first control signal and a second control signal. The remote controller includes a first operating part configured to receive a first user input and a second operating part configured to receive a second user input. The remote controller is configured to generate the first control signal having a constant signal length regardless of an operation period of the first user input. The remote controller is configured to generate the second control signal having a signal length corresponding to the operation period of the second user input.

Present embodiments relate to a multiplex controller assembly. More specifically, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to a controller which may be multiplexed by addition of one or more controller assemblies in order to provide easier control of multiple systems within a recreational vehicle (RV).

Provided is a server and a system that can assist an operator in recognizing whether or not a work machine in a work-site birds-eye image output on an output interface constituting a remote operation device is subject to remote operation by the remote operation device. According to the captured image acquired through the image pickup device C, when a work machine 40 is in the work-site birds-eye image that is output on an output interface 220 constituting a remote operation device 20, whether or not the work machine 40 is a connection-target work machine is determined. If the determination result is positive, a first sign image ID1 associated with an actual machine image Q2 that represents the work machine 40 in the work-site birds-eye image is displayed on the output interface 220 of the remote operation device 20.

A sound input-output control apparatus that can provide wider usage to a sound output apparatus are provided. The sound input-output control apparatus includes a distance determination unit configured to determine whether the distance between at least two of a plurality of sound output apparatuses each independently mounted on a user and configured to output sound toward the user is equal to or longer than a predetermined distance, and an operation control unit configured to control each of the sound output apparatuses to perform first operation when the distance between at least two of the plurality of sound output apparatuses is shorter than the predetermined distance, and control each of the sound output apparatuses to perform second operation when the distance between at least two of the plurality of sound output apparatuses is equal to or longer than the predetermined distance.

A load indicator apparatus which is compact, portable and detachably mounted on the tie-rod. The load indicator apparatus includes a first reference fixture configured for attachment at a first position on the tie-rod, a second fixture configured for attachment at a second position on the tie-rod and an elongation gauge extending between the first reference fixture and the second fixture and configured to measure displacement of the second fixture relative to the first reference fixture during elongation of the tie-rod. A displacement transducer is connected to the second fixture to measure a capacitance value proportional to the loading acting on the tie-rod and transfers it to a load monitoring unit which translates the measured capacitance into a visual load reading and an electronic load output value.

A vehicle includes a controller, programmed to responsive to receiving a credential for connecting to a wireless network from a mobile device, connect to the wireless network using the credential; and establish a link with the mobile device via the wireless network, wherein the credential is received through a cloud server via a wireless connection other than the wireless network.

A touch-based control device is operable to detect touch input over an entirety of the control device's exterior, including at regions of an exterior panel that (i) overlay portions of a circuit board where no touch sensors exist, and/or (ii) extend beyond a perimeter of a touch region or circuit board on which touch sensors are provided.

A programmable smart button includes a housing, at least one interactive surface, a controller, and a programmable display adjustable by a user interfacing with a user device such as a smart phone. The display may include a module identifier indicator that identifies a module being controlled by the smart button as well as function indicator associated with an interactive surface of the smart button. The controller is in communication with the display and is configured to set the information in the indicators shown by the display and to determine the function(s) of the interactive surface(s). The display may be a low power display, such as a bistable display, having negligible effect on the battery life of the smart button.

A method for interacting with a graphical user interface (GUI) of a television operating in a step mode in which movement of a cursor among menu items displayed on the GUI is performed stepwise in accordance with a manipulation of a direction key of the remote controller, the method including receiving, by the television, from a remote controller a signal corresponding to spatial movement of the remote controller detected by the remote controller that instructs the television to switch from (i) the step mode to (ii) a position mode of the GUI in which the movement of the cursor among the menu items is performed in accordance with the spatial movement of the remote controller and switching from the step mode of the GUI to the position mode of the GUI based on the signal.
