Abstract: A wearable computing device includes an outer covering defining an outer-most top surface and an outer perimeter and an internal volume defined, at least in part, by an inner surface of the outer covering. The wearable computing device also includes an electronic display and an electronic display module connector arranged within the internal volume. Further, the wearable computing device includes at least one biometric sensor electrode positioned on the outer-most top surface of the outer covering and wrapping around one or more side edges of the outer covering to the internal volume. Moreover, the wearable computing device includes a printed circuit board arranged within the internal volume. In addition, the wearable computing device includes a conductive component electrically connecting the biometric sensor electrode(s) to the printed circuit board through the electronic display module connector.

Abstract: A computing device includes a pixelated electronic display having a substrate and a plurality of pixels arranged thereon. The plurality of pixels includes, at least, a first portion of pixels and a second portion of pixels. The second portion of pixels has a gradually varying pixel aperture size. The computing device also includes at least one sensor positioned under the pixelated electronic display and adjacent to the second portion of pixels having the gradually varying pixel aperture size and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor for controlling the computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a reconfigurable stripe reader configured to receive read head signals corresponding to states on a magnetic stripe. The reconfigurable stripe reader can have a first configuration with a first routing of the read head signals to detect an initiation of a swipe of the magnetic stripe from the read head signals. The reconfigurable stripe reader can have a second configuration with a second routing of the read head signals to read data stored on the magnetic stripe from the read head signals during the swipe of the magnetic stripe.
