Abstract: Operation of a head-mounted wearable device is responsive to whether a state of the device is being worn (donned) or not worn (doffed) on the head. The device may operate in a first mode while donned and a second mode while doffed. A capacitive sensor device having an electrode positioned in a bridge of the device provides output data. The output data is processed to determine a baseline value. Later, acquired output data is compared to the baseline value to determine don/doff data indicative of whether the device is donned or doffed. Data from other sensors, may also be used in conjunction with the output data to improve accuracy of the don/doff data. For example, if the output data is above the baseline value and accelerometer data is indicative of motion greater than a motion threshold, the don/doff data may be designated as donned.

Abstract: An adjustable shunt regulator circuit has two current paths in parallel, with each current path having a bipolar transistor therein with the bases of the bipolar transistors of the two current paths connected in common. One of the current paths has a high impedance node. A MOS transistor has a gate connected to the high impedance node, and a source and a drain. A resistor divide circuit is connected in parallel to the source and drain of the MOS transistor and provides the output of the regulator circuit. The resistor divide circuit has a first resistor connected in series with a second resistor at a first node. A feedback connects the first node to the bases of the bipolar transistors connected in common of the two current paths.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring service groups in a cable network is provided. A method may comprise identifying a primary downstream channel in a cable network and identifying a plurality of fiber nodes fed by the primary downstream channel. For each fiber node identified, the method may comprise identifying a set of downstream channels communicating with the fiber node. If duplicate sets are identified, duplicate sets of downstream channels may be eliminated and a downstream service group may be associated with each of the remaining sets of downstream channels. In an example embodiment, at least one Media Access Control (MAC) domain is automatically selected to correspond to the identified service groups.

Abstract: A method of wire bonding for small clearance employs a conductive bump over the pad of a chip to prevent a capillary from colliding with the chip during three-dimensional package wiring process. The conventional constraint which limits the clearance to greater than 0.2 mm so as to find an appropriate capillary is overcome in this method.
