Abstract: A wearable device has a housing containing electronics and a band that retains the wearable device on a user's arm. Each end of the housing has a receptacle with a ridge around the opening of the receptacle. A band comprises a strip of flexible material. A pair of protrusions with enlarged ends made from an elastomeric material extend from an inner surface of the band. A portion of the inner surface of the band between the protrusions is in contact with at least a portion of an upper surface of the housing. The band is joined to the housing by aligning each protrusion with a corresponding receptacle and applying pressure. As a result of the applied pressure part of the protrusion temporarily deforms, enters the receptacle, and resumes substantially the previous shape thus holding the protrusion within the receptacle and the band to the housing.

Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for HS code assignment. The system includes a data storage system that combines suppliers' quotes of items along with a classification database. The supplier quote can include tariff codes for all import items. The classification database can include all previously classified items. A first set of information associated with a new item is input into the system. The system can attempt to match the new item to a previously classified item based on the first set of information. If the system is unable to match the new item based on the first set of information the system can retrieve a second set of information including, the department/category to which the new item is assigned, along with the materials the new item is made up of and a description of the new item.
