Patent number: 11287779Abstract: Wearable electronic devices, such as watches, can be part of a modular system that provides a variety of different components and functions to achieve the results that are desired by a user. The modular configurations allow a user to easily customize a watch with one or more functional modules to provide features that integrate with other operations of the body of the watch. The functional modules can be easily exchanged with each other to provide different components and functions at different times. Accordingly, a watch body need not include permanent components that provide every function that will later be desired by the user. Instead, the watch can have expanded and customizable capabilities by the use of one or more functional modules.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Maegan K. Spencer, Sherry Tang, Morgan T. McClure

Patent number: 11279499Abstract: Disclosed herein is an indicating marker and method of use for removably attaching the indicating marker to a structure comprising an opening. The indicating marker comprises a cover device configured to removably seal the opening of the structure. At least one light is attached to the cover device. A power source is electrically connectable to the at least one light to emit a visible light from the at least light and illuminate the cover device. Alternatively, a wireless signal emitter is attached to the cover device and is configured to receive a signal from a wireless signal receiver separate from the structure and transmit a wireless response signal to the wireless signal receiver. In one example, both a light and a wireless signal emitter are attached to the cover device.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: James F.

Patent number: 11237522Abstract: A clock comprises a dial comprising two or more positions. Each position has an associated time value and the associated time values of the two or more positions increase in a first clock direction around the dial. An indicator provided in combination with the dial indicates a position on the dial with respect to the two or more markings that represents a time. An actuator provides a motive force to move the indicator from one position to another position on the dial under the control of a controller so that the indicator transitions from a first time to a later second time by moving the indicator in a second clock direction opposite the first clock direction around the dial. The clock can comprise one or more indicators, actuators, and sensors for sensing the position of each indicator. Indicators can be clock hands, for example minute, hour, or second hands.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Inventor: Joseph Nick Carr
