  • Publication number: 20220075422
    Abstract: This is directed to an electronic device enclosure. The enclosure includes an outer periphery member forming an outer surface of a device, and to which an internal platform is connected. Electronic device components can be assembled to one or both surfaces of the internal platform. The enclosure can include front and back cover assemblies assembled to the opposite surfaces of the outer periphery member to retain electronic device components. One or both of the cover assemblies can include a window through which display circuitry can provide content to a user of the device.

  • Publication number: 20220061854
    Abstract: Expandable devices are disclosed herein. Several of the embodiments are directed towards an expandable device comprising a mesh configured to be expanded at a blood vessel bifurcation of a human patient. The mesh may comprise a tubular body portion and one or more circumferentially discontinuous articulating portions. The mesh may be expanded such that the one or more articulating portions are positioned at an angle to the tubular body portion.

  • Publication number: 20220054039
    Abstract: Passively monitoring a user's breathing with a device can include identifying breathing modes of the user's breathing and responsive to detecting a trigger mode based on the identifying, generating an instruction adapted to the trigger mode. The instruction can be conveyed to the user via the device. The monitoring can include determining phases of the user's breathing with the device. Determining the phases can include receiving acoustic signals generated by an acoustic sensor in response to a user's breathing and generating acoustic data comprising features extracted from the acoustic signals. Phases of the user's breathing can be determined by classifying the acoustic data using a machine learning model trained based on signal processing of motion signals generated by a motion sensor in response to human breathing motions. Though trained using signal processing of motion signals, the machine learning model is trained to classify acoustic data.

  • Publication number: 20220059928
    Abstract: A device includes a display and a housing. The housing at least partially surrounds the display. The housing includes a first housing segment defining at least a first portion of an exterior surface of the device and a first interlock feature having an interlock surface that is offset with respect to an end surface of the first housing segment. The first interlock feature has a first opening formed in the interlock surface. The housing further includes a second housing segment defining at least a second portion of the exterior surface of the device and a second interlock feature having a second opening aligned with the first opening, and a non-conductive housing component defining a third portion of the exterior surface of the device and extending into the first opening and the second opening.

  • Patent number: 11258163
    Abstract: A device includes a display and a housing. The housing surrounds the display and has four corners defining portions of an exterior surface of the device. The housing includes a first housing segment defining at least part of a first corner of the four corners and configured to operate as an antenna; a second housing segment defining at least part of a second corner of the four corners; and a third housing segment defining at least part of a third corner of the four corners. The third corner forms part of the housing diagonally opposite the second corner. The housing further includes a non-conductive housing component that structurally couples the first housing segment to another portion of the housing.
