Patent number: 10244830Abstract: A watch band includes a strap and a clasp mechanism integrated with an end of the strap. The clasp mechanism includes a concave member defining a channel at the end of the strap and a cover plate. The cover plate is configured to move between (i) a first position in which the cover plate covers the channel, and (ii) a second position in which the cover plate is retracted to leave at least part of the channel uncovered by the cover plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Stephen Theodore Schooley, Frank Jay Ziberna, Roger Hsu, Keeline Burdick Wilcox

Patent number: 10088462Abstract: This document describes a gas sampling device. The gas sampling device is capable of housing sensors printed on thin film (e.g., paper) and is operable to expose the sensors printed on the thin film to air for a brief period of time to sample the air for smells. The exposure causes a chemical reaction between the sensors and the sampled air and differs depending on the smells of the sampled air. After exposure, an image of the reacted sensor is captured. The image is analyzed according to image processing techniques to recognize the smells of the sampled air. The gas sampling device is also capable of concurrently sampling air from a surrounding environment along with sampling air from a specimen of interest. By analyzing both samples, the smells of the specimen of interest can be distinguished from those of the surrounding environment. Once the smells are ascertained, a profile of chemical groups in gases of the sampled air is output.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Houtan Neynavaee, Stephen Theodore Schooley, Sam Kavusi

Patent number: 9614320Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a dongle for quick release. The plug portion may include electrical contacts to contact electrical contacts housed within the port of the electronic device. An external face may be attached to the plug portion. The external face may include electrical contact pads. The electrical contact pads may be electrically connected to the electrical contacts. A flange may include a ferromagnetic material attached to the external face, such that the flange is disposed outside of the electronic device when the plug portion is plugged into the port of the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventor: Stephen Theodore Schooley
