  • Publication number: 20210068714
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and user interfaces for interacting with research studies. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a user interface that includes a task view with active tasks from multiple research studies. In some embodiments, an electronic device, while displaying a research study user interface, displays an indication of a problem that prevents enrollment in the research study when enrollment problem criteria are met. In some embodiments, an electronic device, while performing a hearing test, suspends the test and displays a restart affordance when the ambient noise level exceeds a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10878683
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing audio looping techniques. In some instances, it may be determined, by a wearable device, whether a user has responded to a user interface prompt displayed in response to detection of a physical event associated with the user. Additionally, the wearable device may transmit a communication channel request to an emergency response service in accordance with a determination that the user has not responded to the user interface prompt after expiration of a time period. Further, the wearable device may transmit an audio message to the emergency response service at least in response to the emergency response service accepting the communication channel request.

  • Patent number: 10437282
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be mounted in a display housing having multiple display housing layers. The display housing layers may include metal layers and fiber composite layers. A fiber composite display housing layer may have an array of dimples. The fiber composite display housing layer may be attached to a planar metal layer using adhesive. An array of openings may be formed in the metal layer to lighten the display housing. A foam layer or other core may be sandwiched between display housing layers. Components may be embedded in the foam. Edge members may run along peripheral edges of the display housing layers. Electrical components may be mounted on printed circuits and housed within cavities in the display housing. The electrical components may include light-emitting diodes for a display. Heat from the electrical components may be dissipated in the metal layer.

  • Patent number: 10280516
    Abstract: The described embodiments relate to methods and apparatus for increasing rigidity of a metal housing while maintaining or reducing a wall thickness of the metal housing. More particularly a method for embedding a stiffener layer within an aluminum substrate is discussed. In one exemplary embodiment the stiffener layer can be a carbon fiber sheet applied to an inside surface of an unfinished housing and then subsequently covered by depositing a layer of aluminum over the carbon fiber in a solid-state deposition process. The deposited aluminum can adhere to the unfinished housing around or through the carbon fiber layer to bond with the unfinished housing. Deposition parameters can be controlled to prevent damage to the carbon fiber sheet.
