Abstract: A watchband can comfortably secure an electronic device to a wrist of a user. The watchband can include a base having a contact surface opposite an engagement surface and an engagement ribbon forming loops on the engagement surface of the base for receiving a hook of a buckle. The engagement ribbon can be interwoven with the base to provide secure anchoring for the hook within one of the loops. The woven portions of the watchband can be securely coupled to end structures, such as the buckle, retaining rings, and/or a connector. The watchband provides adjustable lengths to accommodate different fit configurations as desired.

Abstract: A centerbody assembly includes a center tube, a forward bulkhead, an aft bulkhead, at least one baffle, and an outer skin. The center tube extends circumferentially about an axial centerline. The center tube extends between and to a first axial tube end and a second axial tube end. The forward bulkhead is mounted to the center tube at the first axial tube end. The aft bulkhead is mounted to the center tube at the second axial tube end. The at least one baffle extends axially from the forward bulkhead to the aft bulkhead. At least the forward bulkhead, the aft bulkhead, or the at least one baffle include one or more thermal beads. The outer skin circumscribes the center tube, the forward bulkhead, the aft bulkhead, and the at least one baffle to form an acoustic cavity radially inside the outer skin.

Abstract: Bands for wearable devices include multiple band retainers used to maintain engagement between an assembly (e.g., a pair) of bands. Some band retainers may be permanently affixed with the band at a certain location of the band, while other band retainers can be removable. The removable band retainers can be moved to different locations of the band, thus allowing the band retainer to retain another band at different locations. As a result, the assembly of bands can be used with different users, and in particular, users with different wrist sizes. Moreover, using multiple band retainers can provide an engagement force between the bands to withstand higher-impact events, such as swimming and diving. Additionally, bands and band retainers may include one or more liquid-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials.

Abstract: An optical fiber holder includes a first holder having a first upper surface and a first lower surface. The optical fiber holder is configured to be in contact with a working station through the first lower surface. Further, the optical fiber holder can include a second holder having a second upper surface and a second lower surface. The second holder can be operably attached to the first holder through the second lower surface. Also, the second holder is configured to rotate with respect to the first holder. Further, the optical fiber holder can include a third holder having plurality of holes therethrough configured to receive a respective plurality of optical fibers. The third holder can include a plurality of protrusions operably coupled to the second holder and configured to enable the third holder to move with respect to the second holder.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a base that includes a raised surface and a first opening through the raised surface. The apparatus also includes a cover configured to be coupled to the base in order to form a cavity, where the cover includes a second opening through the cover. The raised surface is configured to allow passage of a first portion of optical energy through the first opening and to reflect a second portion of the optical energy. Portions of the cover and the base surrounding the cavity are configured to absorb the reflected second portion of the optical energy. The base may further include one or more baffles positioned around the raised surface, and/or the cover may further include one or more baffles positioned around the second opening.

Abstract: A system includes a beam splitter, camera, and a position sensitive detector (PSD). The beam splitter splits a beam ensemble into a first beam portion and a second beam portion. The camera PSD detects an image profile of the first beam portion. The PSD detects a position of the second beam portion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a 3DP™ material system ad method, and an article made therefrom. The method of the present invention includes building cross-sectional portions of a three-dimensional article, and assembling the individual cross-sectional areas in a layer-wise fashion to form a final article. The individual cross-sectional areas are built by using an ink-jet printhead to deliver an aqueous fluid to a particulate material that includes plaster.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a Three Dimensional Printing materials systems and method that satisfies the need for a quick, reliable, safe, and inexpensive method for producing both appearance models and small numbers of functional parts in an office environment. The method of the present invention includes building cross-sectional portions of a three-dimensional article, and assembling the individual cross-sectional areas in a layer-wise fashion to form a final article. The individual cross-sectional areas are built by using an ink-jet printhead to deliver an aqueous solvent to an adhesive particulate mixture, causing the particles of the mixture to adhere together, and to previous cross-sectional areas.
