  • ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH A LIQUID-ACTIVATED SEAL
    Publication number: 20210100122
    Abstract: An electronic device with a sealing layer is disclosed. The sealing layer may include several enhancements designed to improve the overall sealing performance. For instance, the sealing layer may include an adhesive material and several particles embedded in the adhesive material. The embedded particles may include liquid-activated particles that respond to liquid exposure. In some instances, the liquid-activated particles absorb the liquid. Additionally, the liquid-activated particles may expand and fill/cover areas previously occupied by the sealing layer or another structure of the electronic device. Further, the liquid-activated particles may adhere to one or more structures of the electronic device, thereby providing the sealing layer with sealing properties.

    Publication number: 20200409643
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an on-demand user interface for an input device. The system includes a first device and a second device. The first device is configured to receive a first user input and select a first notification from a plurality of notifications stored on the first device based at least in part on the first user input. The first device then outputs the first notification using one or more hardware resources. The second device detects the first notification output by the first device and matches the first notification to a first content item stored on the second device. The first content item includes instructions for providing a second user input on the first device. The second device then renders the first content item on a display. The first device further receives the second user input subsequent to the first user input.

  • COMBINED GAZE AND TOUCH INPUT FOR DEVICE OPERATION
    Publication number: 20200401218
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a device operation in response to a touch input and based on a user's gaze are described. An example device includes a touch sensor configured to sense a touch input from a user, a gaze sensor configured to capture gaze information regarding a user's gaze, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to determine a feature of the user's gaze based on the captured gaze information, and disregard the touch input based on the feature of the user's gaze.
