  • Apparatus and methods of removably attaching a band to a wearable electronic device
    Patent number: 11779098
    Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus configured to removably attach a band to a wearable electronic device, and method of its use are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a coupler removably coupleable to a frame. The coupler includes a body portion and a curved side portion disposed along a side of the body portion. The curved side portion defines a channel configured to slidingly receive an elongated post of the frame. The body portion of the coupler and the curved side portion of the coupler collectively have an end profile that the prevents insertion of the elongated post of the frame into the channel unless the body portion of the coupler is positioned at an angle within the range of about 5 degrees to about 80 degrees with respect to the frame.

  • Sensor infrastructure
    Patent number: 7725269
    Abstract: A device for use in detecting an event in a structure includes a sensor encapsulation, the encapsulation containing a sensor, an actuator positioned substantially in-plane to the sensor within the housing and a printed circuit board in communication with at least one of the sensor and the actuator. The printed circuit board includes a microprocessor constructed and arranged to collect data from at least one of the sensor and the actuator, a signal generator constructed and arranged to provide excitation to at least one of the sensor and the actuator, and an amplifier to condition the excitation.

  • Piezoelectric damage detection device
    Patent number: 7469595
    Abstract: A device for use in detecting structural damage includes at least one piezoelectric wafer that has a sensor, and an actuator in-plane with the sensor. At least one of the sensor and the actuator at least partially surrounds the other of the sensor and the actuator such that the piezoelectric wafer provides radial detection of structural occurrences in a material.
