Patent number: 10037052Abstract: A finger-wearable computing device may comprise a processor, a ring base, and a display screen. The display screen is coupled to the ring base and coupled to the processor to display an output. The display screen includes a command area configured to receive user input from a wearer's thumb while the finger-wearable computing device is worn on a wearer's finger. The ring base may be resiliently flexible and may define an overlapping loop with a central opening that expands and contracts to fit the wearer's finger. The display screen may be flexibly coupled to the ring base and may have a vertical axis that is canted at an angle relative to a central axis of the ring base to ergonomically position the display screen while the wearable computing device is worn on the finger of the wearer's hand.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Smart Patents LLCInventor: James G.

Method and Apparatus for Measuring Torque Transmitted by Driven Wheel of a Cycle or the Like Vehicle
Publication number: 20120022800Abstract: There is provided an apparatus and method for measuring and monitoring the torque exerted by a cyclist during pedaling of a human-powered vehicle, as for example a bicycle, including an electromagnetic emitter which is adapted to be fixed securely to a rear wheel hub, for generating and directing a beam of electromagnetic radiation towards a rim of the wheel, and a detector mounted on the wheel for detecting the movement of the beam when torque is applied to the wheel, the movement being indicative of an angular displacement of the hub with respect to the rim and directly proportional to the torque. Either alone or using optical elements, the beam is directed to travel at least a distance between the emitter and the rim before detection. The measurement can be used to provide a power output.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2009Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: SMART PATENT LIMITEDInventor: Gennady Lubarsky
