Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for device-garment integration. In some embodiments, a garment assembly comprises: a garment having a front side and a back side; an aperture in the garment extending from the front side to the back side; a garment subassembly including: a first reinforcement layer disposed on the front side of the garment providing a cosmetic aperture border and finishing a raw cut garment edge; a second reinforcement layer providing garment edge finishing, minimizing friction between a device and the garment and allowing capacitive touch functionality; a pocket subassembly adhered to the garment subassembly, the pocket subassembly including: adhesive for securing the pocket subassembly to the garment subassembly; an elastic pocket attached to the adhesive; and a third reinforcement layer adhered to the elastic pocket to provide stiffness to the assembly.

Abstract: A portable battery pack and portable electronic device communicate by pulsing (turning on/off) their respective battery chargers causing variations in a magnetic field between the battery pack and portable electronic device that can be used to transmit and receive short messages through their respective coils using a magnetic communication protocol. Data or messages can be transferred between portable battery pack and portable electronic device when the portable battery pack and portable electronic device are in a mated configuration. The magnetic communication protocol allows for bi-directional communication of various battery status indicators and other data from the portable battery pack to the portable electronic device and vice-versa.

Abstract: A reusable modular housing system has a gridded structure comprising reusable components with dimensions corresponding to a two-unit system. The structure has floor and ceiling grids with dimensions that correspond to multiples of a first unit of measurement. The vertical beams that connect the floor and ceiling grids are spaced apart at dimensions that also correspond to multiples of the first unit of measurement. The structure has a variety of other components that can be coupled to the floor and ceiling grids and the vertical beams, and those other components have dimensions that correspond to a multiple of a second unit of measurement. Dimensions of the structure can vary, but each of the component parts can be detachably coupled into the gridded structure, so as to fit within the grid's dimensions based on respective multiples of the first unit of measurement and the second unit of measurement.
