Abstract:
Provided are adaptive wearable devices that measure physiological conditions, methods of operating the device, and computer programs for use with the device. The adaptive wearable device provides improved reliability in data due to the adaptive structure and can be made waterproof with the incorporation of a polymer material. In the context of a wearable device, an apparatus is provided that includes a support structure configured to at least partially enclose the torso or an appendage of a user, a spring module disposed on the support structure, a first section of flexible circuitry disposed on the spring module and a first sensor disposed on the spring module and configured to monitor the user.
Abstract:
A flexible device 100 which at least partially encloses an appendage of a user, the device having a support structure 101 with an inner (wearer contacting) side 102 and an outer side 106, and a section of flexible circuitry 103 towards the inner side. The device is preferably a wrist device that wraps around and can be worn on a users wrist. The device may include wireless communication means. Preferably, the flexible circuitry can carry one or more sensors 105. The sensors may include heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose, or temperature. An outer side of the support can carry more flexible circuitry 107 and sensors 109 for an external environment, sensing parameters such as temperature, humidity, touch or strain. The device can comprise rigid portions and flexible portions. The device may be controlled by user manipulation. The device may include accelerometers and GPS receivers. The flexible circuitry may be separate from the support structure in the form of a sensor, with its own attachment mechanism for attaching the circuitry to an appendage. The support structure may overlay the sensor partially or entirely, or be located adjacent to the sensor. Also claimed is a wearable sensor element in combination with a separate wearable device for controlling the sensor.

Abstract:
A near-eye display related apparatus and device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing configured to receive an optical engine, and a light guiding plate attached to the housing and configured to receive light representing an image from the optical engine, the light guiding plate includes a first diffractive grating adapted to incouple the light into the light guiding plate, and a second diffractive grating adapted to outcouple the light from the light guiding plate such that the light is received by an eye of a user wearing the apparatus. The light guiding plate has a contact surface portion configured to optically couple the light guiding plate to a transparent plate, The contact surface portion being adapted to be in physical contact with the transparent plate.
Abstract:
An apparatus uses a transducer to produce vibration in the ultrasonic frequency range and in the audible frequency range. A membrane or cantilever structure is coupled to the transducer to produce acoustic waves. When the vibration is in the audible frequency range, the membrane structure works like a conventional loudspeaker. When the vibration is in the ultrasonic frequency range, the ultrasonic signal is modulated by audio signal for creating better directivity. The acoustic waves in the ultrasonic frequency range can reproduce directional audible sound due to the nonlinear interaction of ultrasonic waves in air.
