Abstract: A charger prevents charging of a wearable device battery when sweat or another conductive contaminant is present. The charger initially provides a low voltage to detect when the wearable device is engaged. When the wearable device is engaged, a measured current value exceeds a threshold minimum value. If sweat or another conductive contaminant is present, the additional conductive pathway provided by the contaminant will cause the measured value to exceed a threshold maximum, and charging of the battery is prevented. If a contaminant is not present, the measured value will be greater than the threshold minimum and less than the threshold maximum. A higher voltage may then be provided to charge the battery. When the device is removed from the charger, the measured value will decrease below the threshold minimum and the charger may return to providing low voltage to detect engagement of the device.

Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.
