  • Publication number: 20190320977
    Abstract: A system monitors use of an oral appliance including a body positioned within an oral cavity of the user in use. The system includes an appliance monitoring device attached to or embedded within the oral appliance. The appliance monitoring device includes at least one sensor including a pressure sensor generating a signal indicative of a pressure, a data store, and a processing device analysing signals from the at least one sensor to determine a usage state. In response to a determination that the appliance is in use, the processor generates usage data at least partially indicative of the use and stores the usage data in the data store. The system also includes one or more processing systems acquiring the usage data from the monitoring device and storing an indication of the usage data and/or causing a representation to be displayed at least partially in accordance with the usage data.

  • Patent number: 10452253
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Publication number: 20190282828
    Abstract: A myopia-inhibiting treatment device produces a therapeutic light that includes components of different wavelengths in a ratio of luminosities that creates a predetermined L-cone to S-cone excitation profile that slows ocular growth, thereby mitigating development of myopia. The components comprise blue light, green light, and red light. Therapeutic light may cause an L-cone to S-cone excitation ratio in a range between 1.38 and 0.05. In some implementations the therapeutic light causes a L-cone to S-cone excitation ratio of 0.74. In some implementations the luminosity of the combined light components is greater than 700 lux.

  • Patent number: 10379714
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display can receive an alert comprising information, and in response to receiving the alert, issue a perceptual output. The device can detect a user input and determine whether the user input was detected within a predetermined time interval after the perceptual output. In accordance with a determination that the user input was detected within the predetermined time interval, the device can display a notification on the display, wherein the notification comprises a first portion of the information. If the device continues to detect the user input after a second predetermined time period, the device can display a second portion of the information, where the second portion is different from the first portion.
