Publication number: 20240069596Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a main housing portion and displays in the main housing portion that provide images to eye boxes. A light seal may be coupled to the main housing portion and may at least partially surround the eye boxes. The head-mounted device may include sweat mitigation structures such as moisture-guiding channels in the light seal to guide sweat and other moisture away from the eye boxes. The moisture-guiding channels may be formed from grooves or moisture-wicking fabric. Control circuitry may adjust a fan based on humidity, temperature, or fog detected by a sensor. The light seal may include a directional pattern of grooves through which moisture is guided away from the eye boxes. A moisture barrier layer may be interposed between an inner foam layer and an outer light-blocking fabric to prevent sweat from penetrating into the foam.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Adam Y Kollgaard, Kristine S Atom, Vedant A Dhandhania, Ian A Guy, Dustin A Hatfield, Shannon Pomeroy, Paul X Wang

Patent number: 11914780Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul X Wang, Alex J. Lehmann, Michael J. Rockwell, Michael Y. Cheung, Ray L. Chang, Hongcheng Sun, Ian M. Bullock, Kyle J. Nekimken, Madeleine S. Cordier, Seung Wook Kim, David H. Bloom, Scott G. Johnston

Patent number: 5590542Abstract: A canteen for use on picnics and other outings and which is capable of holding a first drink, such as water, lemonade, frozen daiquiris, etc., and which includes a cover through which the first drink may be consumed through a tubular straw member. A capsule is provided for holding a second drink; the capsule being removably held in a bracket formed on the underside of the cover, with the capsule extending down into the drink in the canteen. The capsule is previously placed in a freezer in order to freeze the second drink, so that the second drink may serve to cool the first drink during the outing. The capsule may subsequently be removed and the cool, melted second drink may be drunk through a neck formed in the upper end of the capsule.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Inventor: Paul S. Wang

Patent number: 5515998Abstract: A holder for a frozen confection, such as an ice cream stick, or the like, which serves to hold the frozen confection in an upright position. The holder includes a trough-like upper dish which is slotted to maintain the stick of the frozen confection in an upright position, and which is shaped to catch any drips from the frozen confection as it melts. The dish fits into the open end of a cylindrical base, and it is apertured so that the collected drips from the frozen confection flow into a reservoir which is formed in the upper end of the base. The drips are accumulated in the reservoir to produce a liquid. An upwardly inclined tubular member is fitted into the side of the base and extends into the reservoir to form a drinking straw. An intermediate circular handle is formed in the tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1995Date of Patent: May 14, 1996Inventor: Paul S. Wang

Patent number: 5427271Abstract: A canteen including a cylindrical container and a head threaded to the open top of the container, and also having a flip-up cap pivotally mounted on the head. A push-button is provided at the side of the head which, when actuated, flips up the cap to an pen position, and also pushes a spring-biased plunger away from the drinking hole to open the drinking hole. When the push-button is released, the spring-biased plunger moves to close the drinking hole. Accordingly, by operating a single push-button, the user causes the cap to flip up to an open position, and also causes the drinking hole to open, the drinking hole remaining open so long as the push-button is held by the operator in its actuated position.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1994Date of Patent: June 27, 1995Inventor: Paul S. Wang

Patent number: 5401101Abstract: A mesh bag is provided for toys, laundry and beach use, and the like, which is formed of a tubular lower portion of a mesh material, and which has an open top, a closed bottom, and overlapping sides which form a side opening. A solid fabric upper portion of the bag is secured to the lower portion and surrounds the open top of the lower portion. The solid fabric upper portion extends across the top of the overlapping sides to assist in holding the side opening in a closed condition. A plastic tube is sewn to the upper rim of the upper portion, and it serves to flatten out the sides of the upper rim and hold the top of the bag closed. A pair of upwardly-extending loop handles are attached to the upper portion on opposite sides of the bag.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1994Date of Patent: March 28, 1995Inventor: Paul S. Wang
