Patent number: 12389989Abstract: A construct having an aesthetic form is adapted to please a wearer and to be worn by the wearer. The construct provides a structure having a wearer connection element such as a ring, a chain, a wristband, a pin, a clasp, a clip, and a body piercing element. The functional elements including a fluid reservoir in which at least two fluids are disposed, and a motion generation system are integrated on the structure, The motion generation system is functionally affixed to the structure so as to agitate the at least two fluids, causing a visual animation effect. The construct, in particular jewelry, may have incorporated therein one or more channels and/or reservoirs containing one or more fluids wherein the fluids as well as the forms and surface treatments of channels/reservoirs are selected possess physical properties so as to promote a defined interaction with the one or more fluids.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: August 19, 2025Assignee: PRECIFLEX SAInventors: Federica Carpano, Lucien Vouillamoz, Johann Rohner, Luc Maffli, Toralf Bork, Alain Jaccard, Jean Gubelmann, Gregory Dourde, Antoine Sandoz

Patent number: 11317686Abstract: A construct (10) is provided having an aesthetic form adapted to please a wearer and to be worn by the wearer. The construct provides a structure on which functional elements are integrated. The functional elements include several elements. A first element is a fluid reservoir. A second element is at least two fluids (12, 14) disposed in the fluid reservoir. A third element is a motion generator (22) having a state in equilibrium with respect to an attraction force and a further attraction or repulsion force when the construct is at rest, the motion generator causing an animation effect when the construct is moved relative to an attraction or repulsion force.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Inventors: Lucien Vouillamoz, Antoine Sandoz, Gregory Dourde, Federica Carpano

Patent number: 11042121Abstract: An indication device is provided. The indication device includes an elongated fluid chamber containing at least one electrically conductive liquid driven by a pump for conductive liquids and an immiscible, relatively non-conductive fluid. At least one segment of at least one fluid is used as an indicator. This segment is driven by the pump along adjacent indices of an indicator visible to an observer using a meniscus location sensor and a feedback controller so as to e.g indicate a quantity to the observer.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: PRECIFLEX SAInventors: Gavrilo Bozovic, Johann Rohner, Alain Jaccard, Nicolas Bartholomé Nussbaumer, Manuel Romero, Yves Ruffieux, Gregory Dourde, Noelia L. Bocchio, Lucien Vouillamoz

Publication number: 20170227933Abstract: A time-keeping device having a watch mechanism and method for use, the device having a watch dial that has at least one sealed chamber and/or capillary in a transparent substrate disposed on the side facing a user, and another side coupled to a micro-magnet drive system. The sealed chamber has at least a liquid with magnetic particles suspended therein. The micro-magnet driven system is driven, for example, by a clockwork mechanism under the watch dial.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Lucien VOUILLAMOZ, Beyer MORTON, Gregory DOURDE, Noelia BOCCHIO

Publication number: 20170216519Abstract: A system is provided for dispensing a fluid. The system has a housing having a fixation means to a user and an orientation element; the cartridge formed so as to be held in a given orientation by the orientation element with respect to the housing; and control means to activate the cartridge to eject a fluid. In one aspect, the system is a emergency rescue fluid(s) transdermal delivery system which includes a removable, single use emergency rescue fluid(s) dispensing cartridge, a wearable device into which the emergency rescue fluid(s) dispensing cartridge uniquely, matingly and removably inserts. The system includes a communication pathway between the wearable device and at least one other cloud network node, and/or at least one communication pathway between the wearable device and at least one GPS network node. In another aspect, the system dispenses a perfume or other fragrance.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2015Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: Preciflex SAInventors: Lucien VOUILLAMOZ, Gregory DOURDE, Michel ORSINGER
