  • Publication number: 20240134514
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods relate to utilizing an electronic caliper to analyze an electronic electrocardiogram (ECG). An example method for includes outputting, by a display, an electronic ECG within a graphical user interface (GUI). An electronic caliper is output, by the display, as overlaid on the electronic ECG within the GUI. The electronic caliper includes a first electronic tip and a second electronic tip. The method further includes receiving, by a user input device, a user input signal and moving, based on the user input signal, the first electronic tip, the second electronic tip, or both the first electronic tip and the second electronic tip, relative to the electronic ECG within the GUI.

  • Patent number: 11449109
    Abstract: A foldable device includes a housing, a foldable display coupled to the housing, and a hinge mechanism at a bendable section of the foldable display. The hinge mechanism includes hinge track modules movably coupling adjacent pairs of hinge beams. Each hinge track module includes a track member coupled to one of the pair of hinge beams. The track member includes an arcuate slot. First and second hinge shaft members positioned at first and second sides of the track member are coupled to the other of the pair of hinge beams. The first and second hinge shaft members include a hinge shaft slidably coupled in the arcuate slot of the track member. Outer peripheral contours of the hinge shafts correspond to an inner peripheral contour of the arcuate slot to guide movement of the hinge shafts in the arcuate slot and maintain the foldable display within allowable bending limits.

  • Patent number: 11449104
    Abstract: A flexible display that can be adjusted by an electromagnetic mechanism to remove a deformation is disclosed. The flexible display is attached to a body that is configurable in a folded configuration or an unfolded configuration by a hinge mechanism. When unfolded the flexible display includes a deformation (i.e., warp) in an area around the hinge mechanism. Accordingly, an electromagnet is included with the hinge mechanism to remove the deformation by attracting a magnetic element is disposed on a back surface of the flexible display.

  • Publication number: 20220091635
    Abstract: A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism may include a hinge cover fixedly coupled to a hinge base. A plurality of rotation pivots may be rotatably coupled to the hinge base and the hinge cover. A housing of a computing device may be coupled to the rotation pivots, such that, as the rotation pivots rotate into the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is unfolded, and as the rotation pivots rotate out of the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is folded. Rotation of the rotation pivots into and out of the hinge base and hinge cover may be restricted by one or more stopping mechanisms, so as to maintain a foldable display of the computing device within allowable bending limits.

  • Publication number: 20200119303
    Abstract: A display that is suitable for use with a mobile computing device is disclosed. The display includes multiple layers that are bonded in a stack that has side surfaces. Operation of the display may be negatively affected if the side surfaces are exposed to liquids or debris. Accordingly, a film affixed at, or close to, the top of the stack is folded around the side surfaces and attached to a back surface of the stack to cover the side surfaces. This covering can also block light if it is colored, and may help bind layers of the stack together to prevent delamination.
