The invention relates to an autonomous domestic appliance (1) in the form of a floor cleaning robot or a lawn mower robot with a platform (3) which comprises means of locomotion (4), environmental sensors (5a, 5b, 5c) for detecting properties of the environment of the autonomous domestic appliance (1) and a control unit (6). The environmental sensors (5a, 5b, 5c) are connected to the control unit (6), and the control unit (6) is designed for autonomous movement of the domestic appliance (1) by actuating the means of locomotion (4) as a function of the detected environmental properties and for permanent travel in an area for carrying out its actual domestic activity. The autonomous domestic appliance (1) has a communication unit (7) for establishing a communication link with a remotely arranged service unit (2) and, in addition to its actual domestic activity, is designed to detect the need of help of a person as a function of the environmental properties.

An acoustic reflector includes a reflection portion on which an elliptical reflection surface is formed, in which sound output from a speaker device that has an output position of the sound at or near one focal point on the elliptical reflection surface is reflected by the elliptical reflection surface, and the reflection portion has a size that reflects sound in a range of equal to or less than a nominal directional angle of the speaker device. As a result, because an outer shape of the reflection portion is formed to have a size in the range corresponding to the nominal directional angle of the speaker device, it is possible to reduce the size of the acoustic reflector.

The present invention relates to a movable chair provided with a cable protecting means, and more specifically, to a movable chair provided with a cable protecting means capable of preventing disconnection and breakage of various types of cables connected to the movable chair by restricting a moving or rotational radius of the movable chair.

A furnishing unit includes at least one surface configured support weight of a user of the furnishing unit, an identifier conveyance unit configured to convey furnishing unit identifier data of the furnishing unit; and a furnishing processing system. The furnishing processing system is operable to receive experience selection data generated by a client device associated with the user based on user input by the user to an interactive user interface, where the client device generates the experience selection data based on determining the furnishing unit identifier data for the furnishing unit via an identifier input element when in proximity to the furnishing unit. The furnishing processing system is further operable to configure output of at least one experience facilitation element of a set of experience facilitation elements associated with the furnishing unit based on the experience selection data.

A solar radiation mitigation system mountable to a furniture element, the solar radiation mitigation system comprising a panel assembly comprising a first panel capable of blocking a first radiation amount, and a second panel in operational relation with the first panel and detachably connected thereto, the second panel being capable of blocking a second radiation amount, wherein the panel assembly blocks a combined radiation amount greater than the first and second radiation amounts when the first and second panels are in operational relation, at least one adjustable arm comprising a distal arm connector connected to the first panel, a proximal arm connector being detachably attachable to the furniture element for mounting the system to the furniture element, and an elongated member extending from the proximal arm connector to the distal arm connector, the elongated member being adjustable to position and orient the first panel with respect to the furniture element.

A vibration device comprising: a first vibration unit that vibrates to vibrate a first contact portion of an object, the object including a first contact portion and a second contact portion, the first contact portion being in contact with a first part of a body of an object person, the second contact portion being in contact with a second part different from the first part of the body of the object person; and a second vibration unit that vibrates to vibrate the second contact portion, wherein the first vibration unit and the second vibration unit vibrate such that each of the first contact portion and the second contact portion vibrates in response to an acoustic signal, and the second contact portion vibrates with a delay from the first contact portion.

A cushion member that is secured to a massage table or massage chair and contains a video or virtual reality headset within a substantially central opening or cutout of the cushion member to allow an individual to view video, virtual reality scenes, or other text, graphics or indicia while receiving a massage. A retaining shelf can also be secured to the cushion member to provide support for the video or virtual reality headset. Speakers can also be embedded in the cushion member or a headphone jack or port can be provided with the headset to also allow the individual to listen to any audio associated with the displayed material on the headset.

A telescopic stool, including: a stool surface, a stool base, a telescopic mechanism, and a transition mechanism for connecting the stool surface to the telescopic mechanism; wherein the telescopic mechanism is able to be switched between an unfolded state and a contracted state; the telescopic mechanism includes a plurality of connecting pieces capable of moving relative to each other and a fixation mechanism disposed on the plurality of connecting pieces; and the fixation mechanism is configured to keep the telescopic mechanism in the unfolded state.
