Abstract:
Techniques for component protective overmolding using protective external coatings include selectively applying a protective material substantially over one or more elements coupled to a framework configured to be worn, the elements including at least a sensor, and forming one or more moldings substantially over a subset or all of the framework, the protective material and the elements, after the protective material has been selectively applied, at least one of the one or more moldings having a protective property.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to transfer a data session from one device connected to a residential gateway to another. The transfer is completed within the residential gateway, without routing data through the service provider's network. In one embodiment, a native address of a communication device engaged in an active data session is stored in a memory as a temporary device address. A session address in memory is set equal to the stored temporary device address and the temporary device address is associated with the session address in memory. When a request to transfer the data session to another device is received, the temporary device address in memory set to the native address of the new communication device and the session history is sent to the new device. Any new data received in the session, intended for the original device, is routed by a data session handling engine to the new communication device.
Abstract:
A wellness application for a personal wearable data-capable band is described, including an aggregation engine configured to aggregate user activity data from a plurality of sources, the aggregation engine comprising one or more modules configured to process the user activity data to determine an aggregate value, and a user interface configured to display a graphical representation using the aggregate value.
Abstract:
Techniques for media device, application, and content management using sensory input are described, including receiving input from one or more sensors coupled to a data-capable strapband, processing the input to determine a pattern, referencing a pattern library using the pattern, generating a control signal to a media application, the control signal being determined based on whether the pattern matches another pattern in the pattern library, and selecting a media file configured to be presented, the media file being selected using the control signal.

Abstract:
Various methods, apparatuses, and systems in which a remotely powered wireless microphone are described. The remotely powered wireless microphone circuit includes a resonant circuit tuned to a transmit frequency of a receiver station. The resonant circuit captures signal bursts from the receiver station. The resonant circuit includes a capacitive microphone element to modulate a resulting ringing of the circuit upon being energized by the signal bursts. The wireless microphone circuit also includes a transmitter circuit to transmit the modulated signal.
Abstract:
A processor having an adaptable and self-setting mode of interfacing with a peripheral storage device is provided. The processor comprises a variable-parameter controller which enables the processor to adaptably interface with a peripheral storage device. Upon powering up, the controller first interfaces with the peripheral storage device in accordance with a default mode of operation of the peripheral storage device to extract configuration data from the peripheral storage device. The configuration data relates to at least one alternate mode of operation of the peripheral storage device. The controller then interfaces with the peripheral storage device in accordance with the alternate mode of operation. The processor includes a memory device connected to the variable-parameter controller for storing the configuration data so that it is accessible to the controller.
