  • Publication number: 20230392990
    Abstract: An internal heat-generating component noise correction technique can be used to improve accuracy of temperature sensing. In some examples, a method includes at an electronic device including a first temperature sensor and a first heat-generating component, measuring a first temperature using the first temperature sensor, and in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, compensating the first temperature based on a first estimate of heat generated by the first heat-generating component to generate a second temperature, and estimating a third temperature external to the electronic device using the second temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230085860
    Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a wearable electronic device, such as a watch, including a housing, a memory and a processor located in the housing, and three or more sensors. Each sensor of the three or more sensors is configured to generate a measurement of a parameter. Each sensor of the three or more sensors is located in a different region in the housing. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory. In response to execution of the instructions by the processor, the processor is configured to generate an adjusted measurement of the biometric parameter using at least the measurements of the parameter generated by the three or more sensors. The parameter is a temperature, and the biometric parameter is a body temperature of a user.

  • Publication number: 20230093738
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are electronic devices, including wearable electronic devices, and components and configurations thereof, having one or more temperature sensors separated from the point of contact of the electronic device and an object, such as a user, whose temperature is being measured. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes both a temperature sensor and a light (visible, UV, and/or IR) emitter and sensor. Various embodiments are disclosed by which a temperature sensor may be shielded or separated from a light emitter/detector. A spacer may be used to separate the temperature sensor from the device's housing that contacts the object. The spacer may include a thermal path from the housing to the temperature sensor, and may be opaque to the light detected by a light detector.

  • Publication number: 20130203277
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector is disclosed. The electrical plug connector can include an electrical plug, a plug housing, and a low profile latching feature. The plug housing can be fixedly coupled to the electrical plug with at least a portion of the electrical plug extending from the plug housing to allow the electrical plug to interface with an electrical receptacle to form an electrical connection. The low-profile latching feature can extend outward from the plug housing to engage a mating latching feature associated with the electrical receptacle.
