#IKEA Releases New Furniture Collection, Promises Better Living Through Wireless Power It tempting to dismiss IKEA new embrace of furniture that will charge your phone as a gimmick.

IKEA U s. design spokesperson. hey are constantly referencing it, and one of the biggest problems is need the constant for charging.
The research, part of IKEA ongoing effort to design products that improve the average, day-to-day experience,
led to a new furniture line that began rolling out to stores in Europe on Wednesday.
The line includes a bed-loft combo a desk, two bedside tables and floor, table and work lamps with embedded transmitters.
The collection will arrive in U s. stores later this spring. Simonsen said the tables and lamps were chosen
because they are adaptable, transitional and streamlined. In colors of white or birch, they are meant to blend into the home. hey look like they belong there,
IKEA transmitters will work with the Samsung galaxy S6, and are compatible with any phone that includes Qi wireless charging technology.
iphones can be used with a special case that IKEA sells. And if IKEA furniture doesn appeal to you,
but the idea of embedded wireless charging does, IKEA sells both an embeddable charger ($29. 99)
and a special circular saw ($4. 99) you need to install it yourself. The saw attaches to a standard power drill.
Photos featuring the new products emphasize simplicity and ease. In one, a woman lounges comfortably on a couch
while her smartphone lies cradled on a small shelf attached to a reading lamp in easy reach.
The message: Both human and device are being recharged. Indeed, the rollout could mark the first major shift in the function of furniture
since prehistoric man started forming beds, chairs and cubbyholes out of wood, stone and animal skins.
For IKEA, it a chance to reshape domestic life around the globe a second time.
Founded in 1943, IKEA grew from a simple furniture dealer in a pinched little town in southern Sweden to an international behemoth with 315 stores in 27 countries by capitalizing on the Scandinavian design movement.
The idea that beautiful, functional objects could be made available to everyone emerged in the 1950s.
But it wasn until the mid-1970s that the concept of IKEA as it exists today,

But as IKEA expanded overseas, Kamprad discovered that offering low prices wasn had enough, he to win over customers with truly beautiful designs.
After U s. consumers rejected IKEA furniture as cheap and ugly, the company launched a significant research effort in the mid-1990s to figure out what Americans wanted.
the company debuted its new designs at the Furniture Fair in Milan. As journalist John Leland would note in the New york times Magazine seven years later,
IKEA aesthetic coincided with a shift in American cultural values. After years of viewing furniture as a prized possession,
Americans were ready to have a more transitory relationship with their stuff. The disposable sofa had conquered America
and Europe and was on its way to Asia. IKEA had redefined how people viewed household furnishings.
Today, IKEA sells more than $30 billion worth of furniture each year and is one of the world largest single consumers of wood,

IKEA may be wrong about the benefits of wireless charging, and its new furniture line could be a flop.

the Leddar sensor's LEDS and emitter optics are used to create a diffuse beam covering a wider area of interest.
The receiver collects the backscatter of the reflected light from objects in the beam and, using full-waveform analysis,
detects the presence of objects in each segment of the beam, measuring the distance of the detected objects (based on the time taken by the light to return to the sensor).
providing a variety of beam patterns for different needs. For example, in response to current needs, the technology is presently being offered in the form of two main adaptable platforms:
which offers a much wider beam and provides lateral discrimination abilities, suitable for applications that might traditionally use laser scanners,
and ranging for multiple segments of the beam without the need to scan (no moving parts).
and the angle of incidence that can be determined by imaging-collecting optics that focus the reflected beam on the sensor photodetectors.
of a Leddar sensing module Beam Pattern for Multi-Element Option The multiple-element photodetector has a rectangular sensing area.
The purpose of the reception optics is to collect the backscatter of light from objects in that beam onto the photodetector.
The combined emission and reception optics solution can be designed to obtain different beam widths. Currently
optics options with beam widths of approximately 9°,18°,24°,34°,45°and 95°are available on the multi-element option (the single-element option comes with a narrow 3°beam.

A threshold table is applied in the detection processing of the traces, and a threshold offset parameter is provided on most sensors
in order to adjust this threshold table. The offset can be set to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the sensor.
In automatic control mode, the sensor will dynamically adjust the LED intensity based on the amplitude of the signal for objects detected in the sensor beam.
The beam can then illuminate another object that isn completely"shadowed"by the closer object.
The wide beam contains multiple pulse signals like the one illustrated in Figure 3, creating several segments side by side and different detection zones.
