Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a blood pressure measurement device that includes a cuff configured to wrap around a limb of a user when the cuff is worn by the user, a bladder coupled to the cuff and configured to compress the limb when inflated, and a pump operative to inflate the bladder. The blood pressure measurement device can also include a valve positioned between the bladder and the pump and configured to operate in a first state that allows air from the pump to enter the bladder and prevent air from leaving the bladder. The valve can also be configured to operate in a second state that allows air to leave the bladder. The blood pressure measurement device can also include a vent positioned between the bladder and an external environment and configured to continuously release air from the bladder.

Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing defining an internal volume and a pressure sensor assembly disposed in the internal volume and in communication with an ambient environment. The pressure sensor assembly can include a structure at least partially enclosing a sensor volume, a pressure sensor affixed to a die disposed in the sensor volume, and an exposed moisture detection conductor positioned in the sensor volume.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices with pressure sensors. A pressure sensor may be mounted within a device housing in a pressure sensor cavity at or near an opening in the housing. A barometric vent between a main cavity within the housing and the pressure sensor cavity allows pressure changes in the main cavity to generate airflow through the pressure sensor cavity and out through the opening in the device housing. The generated airflow may clear debris that has occluded the opening in the housing.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices with intelligent barometric vents. An intelligent barometric vent may provide a moisture-resistant opening between an environment external to a housing of the device and an internal cavity within the housing. The moisture-resistant opening may include a moisture-resistant cover over the opening, the cover having a cover-integrated sensor to detect occlusions of the opening. The device may also include occlusion mitigation components within the housing that operate, responsive to a detected occlusion, to at least partially remove the occlusion.

Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing at least partially defining an interior cavity divided into at least a first volume and a second volume, a pressure-sensing component positioned within the first volume, a speaker positioned within the first volume, a processor positioned within the second volume, a battery positioned within the second volume, and a barometric vent that allows air pressure equalization between the first volume and an external environment.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices having sensors such as pressure sensors. A pressure sensor may be integrated into an audio component of an electronic device such that the pressure sensor is fluidly coupled to an environment external to a device housing via at least a portion of an internal cavity of the audio component housing. The audio component housing may include an opening. The pressure sensor may be mounted adjacent to or within the opening. The opening may be sealed to prevent passage of gas or liquid through the opening. The pressure sensor may be integrally formed with an inner wall of the audio component housing. The audio component may be a speaker or a microphone.

Abstract: A user may provide input to a handheld electronic device by making gestures with the handheld electronic device. The input gestures may be used to generate remote control signals for external equipment. The electronic device may include circuitry for detecting a user's movement of the handheld electronic device. The circuitry may include an accelerometer operable in normal and low power modes and a processor operable in sleep and wake modes. Motion data gathered in low power mode may be stored in a dedicated low power mode data storage structure. Motion analysis circuitry may detect a user's movement of the electronic device based on a standard deviation of the motion data. Upon detecting a user's movement of the handheld electronic device, the processor may be woken up to analyze the motion data stored in the low power mode data storage structure and to confirm the user's movement of the electronic device.

Abstract: A tensioning pin system (10) is provided for use in shutter-louver assemblies (12). The major component of the system (10) is a tensioning pin (50) in two mating parts; a pin member (52) and a ferrule member (54) which fit together and rotate with respect to one another. The pin member (52) is lodged within a louver slat (16) while the ferrule member (54) is firmly embedded into the shutter frame (14). The tensioning pin (50) maintains rotational tension for placement of the louver slat (16) and lateral separation between the louver slat (16) and the frame (14). A preferred interface between the pin member (52) and the ferrule member (54) includes an annular protrusion (80) mating with a catch channel (74) while alternate tension interfaces incorporate varying gradients on one of the members with a bead ring on the other member.

Abstract: A compound of formula (1), and/or its salts, tautomers or solvates is used to treat hematological malignancies. In an embodiment, an organic acid salt of compound 1 is provided for general use in treatment of neoplasms, and in a further embodiment the salt is stabilized with carbohydrate.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for communicating using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is provided. The method, apparatus, system and computer program product provide mechanisms by which simplified messages may be utilized by client applications such that the client applications need not maintain information pertaining to the routing of messages. The system includes a network interface and a SIP client manager that receives SIP messages through the network interface. The SIP client manager contains a SIP management module and an X-SIP client module. The SIP management module contains a SIP message modifier for modifying incoming messages and outgoing messages in accordance with context information or state information for a session associated with a SIP message, and the SIP management module also contains input/output controllers for receiving, sending, or forwarding SIP messages.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of parsing a message including a string of characters comprises defining at least one character as a delimiter and setting a starting indicator and a closing indicator. A portion of the string between the starting and closing indicators is collected by a parser method, the portion including at least one delimiter character. The delimiter character is ignored by the parser method so that the portion (the token) of the string may be extracted in its entirety. Additional starting and closing indicators may be nested, with the parser method recursively calling itself with each encounter of a new nested starting indicator.
