  • Quick release watch band with frangible structures
    Patent number: 9364050
    Abstract: A quick release jewelry band is configured to release a wrist-watch from the wrist of a wearer if the watch band is subject to an excessive load which may injure the wearer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Inventor: Brian K. Bell
  • Quick release watch band
    Patent number: 8978942
    Abstract: A wristband assembly comprises a first portion having a first length, a second portion having a second length, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism is configured to establish a pre-defined pre-load that corresponds to the magnitude of tension load at which the first portion is released from the second portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Self-Calibrating Object Detection System
    Publication number: 20080211662
    Abstract: An object detection system (100) for a vehicle includes a clock generator (206) for generating a clock signal. A set of emitters (104) produces and transmits a sensing beam. A set of receivers (112) receives reflected portions of the transmitted sensing beam. A microprocessor (102) controls the object detection system. A gate array (114) receives control signals from the microprocessor and produces transmit signals for the emitters and reference signals for the receivers. The gate array is preferably a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
