Publication number: 20230240564Abstract: Wearable sensor patches, applicator systems for applying wearable sensor patches, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an applicator system includes a first applicator portion, a second applicator portion, a spring, and a trigger mechanism. The first applicator portion releasably retains a wearable sensor patch configured to detect a parameter of an analyte in fluid of a user. When the applicator system is in a loaded mode, the spring and the first applicator portion are positioned within the second applicator portion such that the spring is positioned between the first applicator portion and the second applicator portion. The trigger mechanism is configured to initiate a transition of the applicator system from the loaded mode to a released mode such that the spring accelerates the first applicator portion distally away from the second applicator portion to apply the wearable sensor patch to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Ashwin Pushpala, Dominic Pitera, Matthew Chapman, Michael Gifford

Patent number: 11600882Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery characterized by a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. A recessed ledge may be defined by the third surface about a midpoint of the battery. The first surface and the third surface may define a first terrace formed proximate a first lateral edge of the first surface of the battery adjacent the third surface of the battery, and a second terrace formed proximate a second lateral edge of the first surface of the battery adjacent the third surface of the battery and opposite the first lateral edge. The recessed ledge may extend along the first surface of the battery between the first terrace and the second terrace. The battery systems may also include a module seated on the first surface of the battery between the first terrace and the second terrace.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dominic Pitera, Nathan J.

Patent number: 11357430Abstract: Biomonitoring systems and methods of loading and releasing the same are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a biomonitoring system includes a wearable sensor patch and an applicator. The sensor patch has a filament and an electronics subsystem. The sensor patch is configured to detect a parameter of an analyte in fluid of a user when it is adhered to the user's skin and the filament extends into the user's tissue. The applicator includes first and second applicator portions and a spring positioned within an interior of the second application portion between the first and second applicator portions. When the applicator transitions from a loaded mode to a released mode, the spring transitions from a first state of compression to a second, lower state of compression and accelerates the first applicator portion and the wearable sensor patch toward the user's skin such that the filament extends into the user's tissue.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: One Drop Biosensor Technologies, LLCInventors: Ashwin Pushpala, Dominic Pitera, Matthew Chapman, Michael Gifford
