Patent number: 11781907Abstract: A wearable computing device includes an electronic display with a configurable brightness level setting, a physiological metric sensor system including a light source configured to direct light into tissue of a user wearing the wearable computing device and a light detector configured to detect light from the light source that reflects back from the user. The device may further include control circuitry configured to activate the light source during a first period, generate a first light detector signal indicating a first amount of light detected by the light detector during the first period, deactivate the light source during a second period, generate a second light detector signal indicating a second amount of light detected by the light detector during the second period, generate a physiological metric based at least in part on the first light detector signal and the second light detector signal, and modify the configurable brightness level setting based on the second light detector signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: FITBIT, INC.Inventors: Sebastian Joseph Capella, Shelten Gee Jao Yuen, Subramaniam Venkatraman, Félix Antoine Turgeon, Heiko Gernot Albert Panther

Patent number: 10618404Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a plurality of ground-engaging members, a steering assembly for steering the vehicle, an internal combustion engine, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). An engine air intake system provides air to the engine and includes a first air inlet facing generally forwardly and a first rearwardly-extending conduit portion extending rearwardly from the first air inlet. The first rearwardly-extending conduit portion fluidly communicates with an engine air inlet. A CVT air intake system provides air to the CVT and includes a second air inlet facing generally forwardly and a second rearwardly-extending conduit portion extending rearwardly from the second air inlet. The second rearwardly-extending conduit portion fluidly communicates with a cooling air inlet of the CVT. The engine is disposed at least in part laterally between the first and second rearwardly-extending conduit portions.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Nicolas Laberge, Andre Cote, Emmanuel Rius, Andre Gilbert, Felix-Antoine Brassard, Eric Bertrand, David Manseau, Eric Lafreniere

Patent number: 10291828Abstract: A scalable three-dimensional (3D), 360-degree camera system is configured to capture images and/or video across 360 degrees of a local area. The camera system includes a plurality of cameras that are coupled to a spherical inner core, which is enclosed within an exterior shell composed of several segments. The exterior shell segments include apertures that align with each camera, and an interior shell component is concentrically aligned with each aperture. The configuration of the exterior shell segments and the interior shell components protect the camera assembly from physical damage and the environment and additionally improve heat dissipation from internal components of the camera system. Design parameters of the camera system can be determined to adjust the number of cameras, the size of the inner core, the positioning of the cameras on the inner core, and the number and configuration of the segments of the interior and exterior shell.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Joyce Hsu, Jussi Antero Timonen, James Gilbert Ammon, Oscar Karlsson, Casper Asmussen, Felix Antoine, Andrew Hamilton Coward
