Patent number: 11997809Abstract: This is directed to systems and methods for coupling sections of an electronic device together. Sections of an electronic device can be coupled together via “knuckles.” The particular shape and structure of the knuckles can be based on various design considerations. For example, in some embodiments each section can function as an individual antenna. In this case, the knuckles can be designed in order to provide electrical isolation between the sections, thus allowing proper operation of the antennas. For example, the knuckles can be formed from a dielectric material, etc. As another design example, the knuckles can be designed in order to provide increased strength in areas of high strain, and/or to counteract torsional twisting in areas of high impact. As yet another design example, the knuckle can be designed in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing or which otherwise meets cosmetic requirements.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicholas Merz, Daniel Jarvis

Patent number: 11992275Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems with robotically controllable field generators and applications thereof. In one application, a robotic medical system, comprising a first robotic arm coupled to an electromagnetic (EM) field generator configured to generate an EM field, an EM sensor, and a processor. The processor may be configured to transmit a command to the first robotic arm to cause movement of the EM field generator along a robotic trajectory while the EM sensor remains at a location. An EM sensor trajectory of the EM sensor within the EM field corresponding to a period of time in which the EM field generator moved along the robotic trajectory may be detected. The robotic trajectory and the EM sensor trajectory may be analyzed to determine a difference between the robotic trajectory and the EM sensor trajectory; and EM distortion at the location may be detected comparing the difference and a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Sramek, Elif Ayvali, David Burdick Berman
