Patent number: 11766186Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Manish Avinash Mantrawadi, Benjamin Douglas Garcia, Maya Shirish Sathaye, Kelly Erin Johnson, Simon Quay

Patent number: 11297417Abstract: An apparatus including a housing and a sleeve that engages and at least partially encloses the housing. The housing may include a top portion having a loudspeaker and an exterior surface and a bottom portion having a loudspeaker and an exterior surface. An audio diffuser may be positioned between the top portion of the housing and the bottom portion of the housing so as to radially disperse sound from the loudspeakers. A light ring on the housing may indicate a functional state of the apparatus. Protrusions on the housing may interact with indentations on the sleeve to position and align the housing within the sleeve. The sleeve may include holes to allow sound to be outputted from the loudspeakers. Magnets and alignment elements may further situate and secure the housing to the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kelly Erin Johnson, Christopher Mann Chamberlin, Duane Everard Whyte, Aashish Nataraja, Alexandra Hall Hoster

Publication number: 20220040432Abstract: A patient interface includes a first body that rests on a first portion of a patient's face, a second body that rests on a second portion of the patient's face, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface includes an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the patient's face to secure the patient interface to the patient's face. The complementary fixation structure can be configured to assist in retaining a feeding tube in position relative to the patient's face or to the patient interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Chelsea Erin Johnson, Robert Andrew David Milne, Michael Paul Ronayne

Publication number: 20210379314Abstract: A patient interface, such as a nasal cannula is described. The patient interface has a body portion to be located, in-use upon a face of a user. The body portion has at least one side arm that extends laterally from a central bridge portion to be located about a user's septum region, where each side arm is connected to a resilient, or relatively more rigid, bridge portion element. The interface has at least one, and preferably a pair of, nasal prong(s). The body portion has at least one fluid passageway connected to the nasal prong(s) for supply of a gas to the nare(s) of the user's nose. A cross section of the passageway varies along the length of the body portion to regions of varying flexibility along the body portion. The bridge portion element defines a substantially predetermined spatial relationship for outlet(s) of a gas delivery system supplying gas via each side arm to the outlet(s) from which, for example, the nasal prong(s) may be provided in fluid connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Chelsea Erin Johnson, Robert Andrew David Milne, Riki Zane Shearer, Michael Paul Ronayne, Daniel Charles Wilson, Leon Tyler Stanley
