  • Publication number: 20240281235
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for temporarily enabling use of an operation for access at a wrist-wearable device (e.g., a smart watch). A method includes installing, on a wrist-wearable device worn by a user, data to enable use of an operation on the wrist-wearable device only while an operation-use precondition is present, where the operation-use precondition is specifically associated with the operation. The method further includes, while the operation-use precondition is present, enabling use of the operation on the wrist-wearable device. And the method further includes, in accordance with determining that the operation-use precondition is no longer present, removing at least some of the data from the wrist-wearable device to make the operation unavailable on the wrist-wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20240201820
    Abstract: An example method of adjusting a detachable display capsule of a wrist-wearable device to operationally complement a wearable-structure attachment is disclosed. The method includes, while a display capsule is configured to use a default set of display characteristics for operating-system or application-level user interfaces, receiving identifying information for a respective wearable structure, the display capsule being configured to detachably couple to one of a plurality of wearable structures to form a wrist-wearable device. In accordance with a determination that the display capsule should be adjusted based on the identifying information, the method further includes adjusting the display capsule (i) to cease using the first set of display characteristics and (ii) to instead use a customized set of display characteristics associated with the respective wearable structure.

  • Publication number: 20240004222
    Abstract: A goggle may include a goggle frame and a lens assembly that may be removably coupled by magnetic materials and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by mechanically engaging latch components. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by magnetically coupling latch components. Latch components may be included with the lens assembly and the goggle frame. The goggle frame may include an elastomer face gasket. The goggle frame may include outriggers fixedly coupled to the face gasket. The lens assembly may include an elastomer lens frame.

  • Publication number: 20230263984
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for automated detection of an airway device coupled to an automatic rescue breathing unit (ARBU) are disclosed. The automatic detection apparatus includes a keying system that utilizes color adapters coupled to specific airway devices to indicate to a controller that the airway device is a particular size and has a particular airway protection classification (e.g., protected or unprotected). The controller may then determine the proper rescue breath rate and volume (e.g., tidal volume) based on knowing the size and classification of the airway device. In some instances, the controller may also receive information on chest compressions applied to the patient. Automatic detection of the size and classification of the airway device, along with chest compressions, may improve the process of providing automated rescue breaths to a patient.

  • Publication number: 20210236338
    Abstract: A goggle may include a goggle frame, a lens assembly magnetically coupled to the goggle frame, and first and second retention features securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame at first and second locations, respectively, to resist decoupling of the lens assembly from the goggle frame. The lens assembly may be removable from the goggle frame by actuating only one of the first retention feature or the second retention feature. A method of removing a lens assembly from a goggle frame may include actuating a first latch securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame; after actuating the first latch, pivoting the lens assembly away from the goggle frame about a second latch securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame; and after pivoting the lens assembly, laterally translating the lens assembly away from the second latch without actuating the second latch.

  • Patent number: 10935812
    Abstract: Interchangeably lenses and attachment assemblies for eyewear with removable temples are described. An example attachment assembly for removably magnetically attaching an eyewear temple to a lens may include a magnetic latch having a first latch portion and a second latch portions movably (e.g., pivotably) coupled to the temple. The first and second latch portions may be configured to be positioned on opposite sides of the lens by a carrier. The first and second latch portions may be configured to magnetically attract one another in a magnetic attraction direction. The carrier may be configured to restrict movement of at least one of the first and second latch portions in a second direction opposite the magnetic attraction direction.
