  • Patent number: 9645786
    Abstract: A tabletop speaker system includes an amplifier, proximity and acceleration detectors, and a processor. The processor is operatively coupled to receive signals from the proximity and accelerometer detectors, and in response to the proximity and acceleration signals, activate various functions local to the tabletop speaker system to operate and control various behaviors or features of the tabletop speaker system. In this way, the tabletop speaker system can respond to user gestures for a very natural control interface.

  • Publication number: 20170006710
    Abstract: A patterned conductive layer on a flexible substrate includes pads for mounting an array of LEDs, conductive strips, and conductive tabs that couple the conductive strips to the pads. The desired circuit configuration is created by removing select tabs by punching holes or otherwise piercing the flexible substrate at the location of the tabs. In some embodiments, the patterned conductive layer is arranged to permit each LED to be mounted in either of two mirrored orientations, and in some embodiments, the patterned conductive layer is arranged to permit a separation between LEDs that is not predefined by the pattern. In some embodiments, the unmodified patterned conductive layer is arranged to provide a parallel circuit configuration, and the modified patterned conductive layer is arranged to provide a series or series-parallel configuration.

  • Publication number: 20160313141
    Abstract: A micro-position gap sensor assembly including a structural housing and a flexible diaphragm fixedly attached forming a barrier against fluid ingress. The structural housing includes a shaft orthogonally attached to the flexible diaphragm, a first retainer including one or more standoffs, a second retainer, and a parallel plate gap sensor. The parallel gap plate sensor includes a non-contact sensor plate biased against a portion of the first retainer defining a plane of the non-contact sensor plate and receiving a biasing force in opposition of the first retainer from the second retainer, a target plate comprised of a conductive paramagnetic material. The parallel plate gap sensor is configured such that displacement of one of the target plate or the non-contact sensor plate changes a distance between the target plate and the non-contact sensor plate.

  • Patent number: 9130485
    Abstract: An electroadhesive surface can include electrodes that are configured to induce an electrostatic attraction with nearby objects upon application of voltage to the electrodes. Systems described herein may also employ a load-bearing frame that is coupled to an electroadhesive gripping surface via an array of height-adjustable pins. Adjusting the pins changes the shape of the gripping surface, and may be used to conform to objects pressed against the gripping surface. Objects pressed against the gripping surface may cause one or more of the pins to retract by sliding within respective channels so as to cause the gripping surface to conform to the object. Some examples further include pin-locking mechanisms configured to secure the position of the pins within their respective channels and thereby fix the shape of the gripping surface after conforming to the object.
