Patent number: 11609544Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to performing work on a working surface based on a desired path using a working member. The disclosed system advances the working member with respect to the desired path using a first positioning system and a second positioning system. The first positioning system comprises a frame and actuators operable to advance the working member with respect to a portion of the desired path within an adjustment region. The second positioning system comprises actuators operable to move the frame. By moving the frame using the second positioning system, the first positioning system advances the working member with respect to a portion of the desired path that was outside the adjustment region before the frame was moved.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Shaper Tools, Inc.Inventors: Joseph J. Hebenstreit, Ilan Ellison Moyer, Jeremy Evan Blum, Alec Rothmyer Rivers

Patent number: 10321217Abstract: Arrangements for bone conduction transducers (BCTs) that couple to wearable devices are described herein. An example BCT couples to a wearable device via a moveable member, and is arranged on the wearable such that the BCT member moves so as to provide an indication as to whether or not the wearable device is being worn.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Kubba, Jeremy Evan Blum, Livius Chebeleu, Chi Kin Benjamin Leung, Jordan Kestler

Patent number: 9719871Abstract: An example method includes detecting a signal that represents a strain of a frame of a wearable computing device and causing the wearable computing device to perform a function based on the detected signal. The method may also include generating a representation of the detected signal, comparing the representation of the signal to a threshold value, and causing the wearable computing device to perform a function based on the comparison to the threshold value. An example wearable computing device and an example non-transitory computer readable medium related to the example method are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Evan Blum, Joseph John Hebenstreit, Ali-Reza Bahmandar

Patent number: 9529201Abstract: An example of a waterproof hinge and button configuration for a head mounted device is provided. A magnet may be attached to the button, and a sensor may be positioned adjacent to the button to detect movement of the button. For example, the sensor may detect when the button is fully pressed, partially pressed, or not pressed at all by the level of magnetic flux density detected by the sensor. In addition, the sensor may detect an opened or closed position of the hinge based on the magnetic field polarity of the magnet. Due to the implementation of the sensor, the electrical components of the button are able to be removed so as to make the button-hinge configuration waterproof.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Evan Blum, Peter Michael Cazalet

Patent number: 9419376Abstract: An example of a connector for host devices is provided. Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a connector that allows a user to blindly connect the connector to a host device. For example, a magnetic system between the connector and host device may attract when the connector is oriented correctly with the host device's socket, and repel when the connector is incorrectly oriented. The connector may have a cord that is positioned such that, when the user incorrectly orients the connector over the host device's socket, the cord may interfere with the host device's housing, thereby indicating to the user to re-orient the connector. The connector may also employ multiplexed pins so the pins can perform more than a single function. For example, the data (D+/D?) pins may transmit music in the form of audio signals, and information content in the form of electrical signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Evan Blum, Mike Jastrzebski, Haley Toelle

Publication number: 20160109914Abstract: An example of a wearable device, such as a head mounted device, without a power button while still implementing the functions of a typical power button is provided. A sensor may be positioned adjacent to a hinge so as to detect the orientation thereof, such as detecting whether the hinge is in the opened or closed position. The sensor may output a signal that indicates the detected orientation of the hinge to a microcontroller. The microcontroller may then output a signal to a power management integrated circuit that alters the current state of the device. For instance, the signal sent to the power management integrated circuit may power on or off the head mounted device, or place the device in a sleep state. In this regard, the head mounted device is capable of switching between states without the use of a typical power button.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventor: Jeremy Evan Blum
