  • Methods and apparatus for battery current monitoring
    Patent number: 11901723
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for battery current monitoring. An example apparatus includes a haptic device, an isolation switch to deliver power from a battery to the haptic device, an integrator to integrate a signal based on a current from the battery to the haptic device to generate an integrator output, and control logic to control the isolation switch based on a comparison of the integrator output to a threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2023
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: Tahoe Research, Ltd.
    Inventors: Devin Cass, Jorge Zabaco, George D. Beckstein, III

  • Methods and apparatus for battery current monitoring
    Patent number: 10707672
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for battery current monitoring. A current controller can prevent injury from a battery operated wearable device. An isolation switch can interrupt delivery of current of a battery to a load in response to an isolation switch control signal to prevent burn injury to a wearer of the battery operated wearable device. The battery operated wearable device can be wrist wearable or head wearable.
