  • Touch Communication Device
    Publication number: 20220187922
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides touch communication devices that can convey touch information to a human user and/or receive touch information from the human user. As one example, a touch communication device can include a plurality of tactile units. The touch communication device can individually control each of the tactile units to apply a respective pressure to a surface adjacent to such tactile unit. For example, the touch communication device can control the plurality of tactile units to convey a touch communication to a human user that has the touch communication device adjacent to a portion of his body. As another example, the touch communication device is configured to determine a counter-pressure applied to each tactile unit by the surface adjacent to such tactile unit. The touch communication device can generate information descriptive of a touch communication performed by the human user on the touch communication device.

  • Electrode System for Wearable Devices
    Publication number: 20210077011
    Abstract: A wearable device includes at least one attachment member and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor comprising an integrated electrode pair physically coupled to the at least one attachment member. The electrodermal activity sensor is configured to provide an EDA signal in response to contact between the integrated electrode pair and a skin surface of a user. The integrated electrode pair includes at least two concentric electrodes radially separated by at least one insulator. Each of the at least two concentric electrodes includes an upper surface configured to contact the skin surface of the user in order to generate the EDA signal.
