    Abstract: Systems, articles, and methods for surface electromyography (“EMG”) sensors that combine elements from traditional capacitive and resistive EMG sensors are described. For example, capacitive EMG sensors that are adapted to resistively couple to a user's skin are described. Resistive coupling between a sensor electrode and the user's skin is galvanically isolated from the sensor circuitry by a discrete component capacitor included downstream from the sensor electrode. The combination of a resistively coupled electrode and a discrete component capacitor provides the respective benefits of traditional resistive and capacitive (respectively) EMG sensor designs while mitigating respective drawbacks of each approach. A wearable EMG device that provides a component of a human-electronics interface and incorporates such capacitive EMG sensors is also described.

    Abstract: An electronic control unit includes a substrate, an electronic component, a heat sink, a cover, a heat accumulator, and a screw. A wiring pattern is formed on the substrate. The electronic component is mounted on the substrate and generates heat upon energization thereof. The heat sink is provided on one side of the substrate in its thickness direction. The cover is made of resin and is provided on the other side of the substrate in its thickness direction. The heat accumulator is fixed to a part of the cover on the substrate-side and is in contact with a surface of the substrate on the cover-side. One end of the screw is connected to the heat sink. A central portion of the screw is inserted through a hole passing through the substrate in its thickness direction. The other end of the screw is connected to the heat accumulator.
