Abstract: An apparatus and system for housing a device include a housing that is configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member optionally includes front and back surfaces surrounded by a perimeter. The perimeter is defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shock-proof and/or water tight seal.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for modulating a user's personal health are presented. In one aspect, a device containing a sensor is configured for tracking, measuring, and modulating a characteristic is provided. In certain instances, the characteristic to be measured pertains to food consumption. A personal health modulating device for communicating health modulating data with a mobile computing device is presented. The mobile computing device includes at least one electronic data input for receiving electronic data, at least one wireless transceiver for communicating with a wireless network, and an interactive display.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus having a strap system and housing for an electronic device. The apparatus can include a housing that is configured to receive an electronic device and protect the device from damage resulting from impact or exposure to liquids. The strap system can attach to the housing with connectors to provide easy handling of the housing and the electronic device therein without compromising the integrity of the housing. This disclosure also relates to a stand for an electronic device. The stand can be stored on the electronic device to provide additional protection when the electronic device is not being used.

Abstract: A weatherproof loudspeaker includes a rigid enclosure having two or more sides, an interface between the sides being sealed sealing an internal space from an environment external to the rigid enclosure, and a sound projecting region formed on at least one side of the rigid enclosure. The sound projecting region includes an active driver speaker rigidly connected with the rigid enclosure, the active driver speaker to project sound outward from the sound projecting region and to reflect sound waves within the rigid enclosure. The speaker includes a flexible inner surround that frames the active driver speaker, and a passive radiator at least partially around the active driver speaker and connected between the inner surround and a flexible outer surround. The outer surround is connected with the rigid enclosure.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a device for retaining an electronic device as well as for methods for using the device for the purpose of doing the same. In various instances, the electronic device includes a housing and the retaining device is adapted for interfacing with the housing of the electronic device. The housing may be a separate unit from the electronic device or part of the electronic device itself. In various instances, the housing is a separate unit from the electronic device, within which the electronic device is fitted. In certain instances, the housing for the electronic device is adapted for protecting the device from one or more of shock, liquid, dust, snow, and the like. The electronic device may be any suitable electronic device, such as a computer, mobile computer, notebook computer, tablet computer, telephone, personal digital assistant, or the like.

Abstract: A system for determining a set of characteristics of a participant performing an activity is provided. The system includes two or more data collectors and a processor. The two or more data collectors include a physical data collector for collecting physical data associated with the activity and a physiological data collector for collecting physiological data associated with the activity. The processor has one or more data inputs in communication with the processor. Each of the one or more data inputs communicates with at least one of the data collectors to receive the physical data or the physiological data. The processor is adapted to receive the physical data and the physiological data from the one or more data inputs and process the physical data and the physiological data according to a characteristic generation program. The set of characteristics represents a performance level of the participant performing the physical activity.
