Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses directed at providing a tubular band with seamless lug integration for wearable devices. In aspects, the tubular band includes an extensible strap formed of interwoven fibers. The strap includes opposing outward-facing edges at opposing longitudinal ends. Each edge defines an opening within which a base section of a coupling device can reside. The coupling device further includes an attachment section, opposite the base section, which extends from the base section outwardly through the opening to engage a coupling connector of the wearable device. When the attachment section is connected to the coupling connector, the attachment section positions an end portion of the strap adjacent the opening to engage a surface of the wearable device. In this way, the strap can be coupled to a wearable device by positioning end portions of the strap against one or more surfaces of the wearable device, forming a seamless connection between the band and the wearable device.

Abstract: A calorimeter head and an associated system are provided. The calorimeter head provides symmetric circumferential laminar flow parallel to the bottom plane of a substrate plate of the calorimeter head. The calorimeter head defines a cavity which employs multiple tangentially arranged inlets for receipt of a flow of coolant from a control unit of the system.

Abstract: Magnetically-activated contactless potentiometers with a resistive trace and a conductive trace contained within a channel formed of non-conductive material are described. A gap between the resistive trace and the conductive trace is provided, and the conductive trace is either magnetic/ferromagnetic or is provided with a magnetic/ferromagnetic material. In use, a magnetic force is applied to the potentiometer opposite the resistive trace from the conductive trace, thus attracting the conductive trace to physically and electrically connect with the resistive trace at the location of the magnetic force. This magnetically-induced contact between the conductive trace and the resistive trace produces a resistive feedback from the point of contact and allows for changing the resistance of the potentiometer by laterally moving the magnetic force along the length of the potentiometer.
