A driving environment monitoring system includes a line-of-sight analysis module, an environment analysis module and a processor. The line-of-sight analysis module captures an eye image of a driver; and analyzes the eye image to obtain a plurality of line-of-sight probabilities that a line-of-sight of the eye image is located in a plurality of partitions. The environment analysis module is configured to capture an environment image around the mobile vehicle; and analyze the environment image to obtain a plurality of object probabilities that at least one object of the environment image is located in the partitions. The processor is configured to obtain an integration probability of the line-of-sight probability and the object probability in each partition; obtain a forward direction of the mobile vehicle; and send a reminder signal based on the integration probability of the partition where the forward direction is located being greater than a preset probability.

Driving environment monitoring system and driving environment monitoring method thereof

In some examples, an electronic device includes a tip pressure sensor to capture tip pressure data based on a writing surface. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processor to produce a classification of the writing surface based on the tip pressure data via a machine learning model. In some examples, the electronic device may include a haptic device to control haptic feedback based on the classification.

Surface classifications

In an example, an accessory holder may include an expandable loop movable between a stowed position within a housing of a device chassis and a deployed position. When in the deployed position, the expandable loop may extend out of the housing to receive and hold a device accessory. The example accessory holder may further include a bias member to urge the expandable loop towards the stowed position.

Accessory holders

An example electronic device includes a display screen, a first sensor on the display screen to transmit a first signal upon being contacted, a controller to receive the first signal and transmit a second signal in response to receiving the first signal, a motor to receive the second signal to trigger an actuation motion, a hinge connected to the display screen and comprising a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism aligned with the first locking mechanism. The second locking mechanism is triggered by the actuation motion of the motor, and the triggering of the second locking mechanism is to activate the first locking mechanism to control movement of the hinge and the display screen.

Locking hinges

Examples herein relate to a hinge. In some examples, a hinge can include a first bracket connected to a shaft, a second bracket connected to the first bracket, a member connected to the shaft and magnetically attracted to a magnet at a first position, where the member translates relative to the magnet to a second position as the shaft rotates about an axis of the shaft, and the magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force between the member and the magnet, where the magnetic attraction force is higher at the second position than the first position.

Hinges with magnets

In one example, a hinge assembly is disclosed, which may include a first member and a second member rotatably connected to the first member through a mounting portion. The mounting portion may include a first surface having a first protrusion and a second surface, opposite the first surface, having a second protrusion. Further, the hinge assembly may include a first cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the first surface and a second cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the second surface. The first cam and second cam being engageable with the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, to shift an axis of rotation of the second member.

Axis shifting hinge assemblies

Examples herein relate to an apparatus. In some examples, an apparatus can include a first bracket connected to a first shaft, a second bracket connected to the first bracket, a variable torque bar connected to the first bracket and to a second shaft. The variable torque bar includes a plurality of notches to engage a tensioner mechanism and alter an amount of torque applied to the first shaft when the tensioner mechanism engages the respective notches of the plurality of notches.

Variable torque bars

A method of controlling an anti-snoring device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of capturing sound data within a period of time, sampling the sound data continuously, extracting multiple sound characteristic sections arising periodically from the sound data, and activating the anti-snoring device to stop snoring when the repeated occurrence count of the sound characteristic sections reach a threshold value.
