Publication number: 20210295661Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a pressure mapping system that includes a sensing pad configured for placement between a user and a bed. The sensing pad can include an array of actuation cells where each actuation cell in the array of actuation cells is configured to actuate in response to a fluid being introduced into the actuation cell. The sensing pad can also include an array of pressure sensors where each pressure sensor in the array of pressure sensors is configured to output pressure measurements. The pressure mapping system can also include a control system that is configured to receive the pressure measurements from the array of pressure sensors, generate a pressure map for the user based on the set of pressure measurements and a position of the pressure sensing cells on the sensing pad, and actuate a subset of the array of actuation cells based on the pressure map.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Wegene H. Tadele, Antonio F. Herrera, Riley E. Brandt, Yingjun Zhang, Jason Lor

Patent number: 11045117Abstract: The provided disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining the axial orientation and location of a user's wrist using one or more sensors located on the strap, the device underbody, or both. For example, the strap can include a plurality of elastic sections and a plurality of rigid sections. Each elastic section can include one or more flex sensors. In some examples, one or more electromyography (EMG) sensors can be included to measure the user's electrical signals, and the user's muscle activity can be determined. In some examples, a plurality of strain gauges can be included to generate one or more signals indicative of any changes in shape, size, and/or physical properties of the user's wrist. In some examples, the device can include a plurality of capacitance sensors for increased granularity and/or sensitivity in measuring the amount of tension exerted by the user's wrist.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jason Lor, Siddharth Nangia

Patent number: 10149396Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for forming a circuit assembly for an electronic device. The circuit assembly may include a substrate and a group of surface-mounted electronic components disposed on a surface of the substrate. An electrical connector may be disposed on the surface and may be configured to receive an electrical connection from a separate electrical component or assembly. A molded layer may be formed over at least a portion of the surface fully encapsulating the group of surface-mounted electronic components and partially encapsulating the electrical connector.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jason Lor, Scott L. Gooch, Siddharth Nangia

Publication number: 20150212578Abstract: A touch implement may include one or more controllers coupled to one or more haptic devices and one or more sensors that detect when the touch implement contacts a surface. The controller may provide haptic feedback via the haptic device(s) to simulate a texture of the surface when the touch implement is in contact. In some cases the texture may correspond to a texture displayed on the surface whereas in other implementations the texture may be unrelated to the appearance of the surface. In some implementations, the touch implement may detect information about the texture of the surface or information encoded in surface about texture or haptic feedback to provide and adjust haptic feedback accordingly. In other implementations, the touch implement may receive transmitted information regarding the texture or haptic feedback to provide and adjust haptic feedback accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jason Lor, Patrick A.
