Patent number: 11432721Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided for providing user interface navigation of screen display metrics of a device. In one example, a device is configured for capture of activity data for a user. The device includes a housing and a screen disposed on the housing to display a plurality of metrics which include metrics that characterize the activity captured over time. The device further includes a sensor disposed in the housing to capture physical contact upon the housing. A processor is included to process the physical contact to determine if the physical contact qualifies as an input. The processor enables the screen from an off state when the physical contact qualifies as the input. The screen is configured to display one or more of the plurality of metrics in accordance with a scroll order, and a first metric displayed in response to the physical contact that qualifies as the input.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: FITBIT, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Myers, Christine Brumback, Timothy Roberts, James Park, Dave Knight, Shelten Yuen, Jayson Messenger

Patent number: 7077481Abstract: A combined spring brake modulating relay valve integrates the functions of a relay valve and a modulating valve. The housing includes a valve assembly movable in response to air pressure provided to selected ports in the housing. A relay piston selectively communicates with a control port and a primary brake circuit port. A modulating piston includes surfaces selectively pressurized by the primary brake circuit port and a secondary brake circuit port. This modulates the pressure from the delivery port to thereby selectively apply the associated spring brakes if a failure is detected at the primary brake circuit port. The exhaust member selectively controls communication between the supply and delivery ports as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLCInventors: Andrew Marsh, John Kemer, Charles Eberling, Dave Knight, Richard T.
