A display apparatus includes: a display; a motor configured to rotate the display; a sensor configured to sense rotation of the display; and a processor configured to output a driving signal for rotating the display in a first direction to the motor when an event for rotating the display from a first posture to a second posture occurs and output a driving signal for rotating the display in a second direction to the motor when it is identified that the display collides with an object on the basis of the driving signal output to the motor and a signal received from the sensor while the display rotates.

The present disclosure relates to the field of office furniture, and more particularly to an electric lift table control system and method that realize a resistance back-off. The system comprises a controller, a table (1) and a lifting column (2) for driving the table to move vertically, the lifting column (2) is connected with the controller signal, and further comprises at least one arranged under the table (1) a safety grating (3) for detecting obstacles, each set of safety gratings comprising a transmitting end assembly and a receiving end assembly, and a gap is provided between the safety grating (3) and the lower surface of the table (1), and said The safety light barrier (3) is connected to the controller signal. This will control the lifting column to stop working before encountering obstacles.

The present invention relates to a mobile X-ray device, comprising: a housing with an X-ray source arranged therein, a sensor system comprising one or more sensors for aligning the X-ray source to an object to be scanned and/or detecting at least one extrinsic object in a predefined area in a vicinity of the X-ray beam of the X-ray source; a processor unit comprising determining the alignment of the X-ray source and the object to be scanned based on signals received from the sensor system; image acquisition for generating an X-ray image; activating a blockage signal for the mobile X-ray device based on signals received from the sensor system; and an interface for outputting the generated X-ray image and/or information; wherein image acquisition is blocked, if the sensor system signals one of the following: at least one extrinsic object is detected within the predefined area; lack of alignment between the X-ray source and the object to be scanned.

The invention relates to a method for operating a pass-through machine (1), in particular a pass-through machine which is provided for use in the manufacture of furniture and components, and to a pass-through machine. In the method, a supplied workpiece (W) is first detected and/or identified using a workpiece detection device (20); handling information (HI) is then output using an information device (30) on the basis of the detected information of the workpiece detection device (20); whereupon an operator of the pass-through machine (1) carries out a handling process on or with the workpiece (W) according to the output handling information (HI); and the handled workpiece (W) is then supplied to a machining device (50) of the pass-through machine (1) using a supply device (80).

A method for detection of a fault in a sensing cable within a saw detects potential failures in a sensing cable that is part of an object detection system in the saw. The method includes generating a predetermined excitation signal transmitted through a first conductor and a second conductor in the sensing cable, detecting a return signal from the first conductor and the second conductor in the sensing cable in response to the predetermined excitation signal, identifying a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the return signal, and generating an output indicating a fault in the sensing cable in response to the SNR of the return signal being below a predetermined value.
