    Abstract: Disclosed is a printed circuit board (PCB) design for a multi-flex PCB system aimed at wearable devices that is capable of meeting requirements such as ultra-thin thickness profile of the board (thereby allowing 360 degree of bendability) and less manufacturing cost, as desired by consumer electronics, such as wearable motion controlled mobile gaming devices. The PCB design suggests two thickness levels for the multi-flex PCB system. The thicker parts are four-layer sections with 20 mils thickness and thinner parts are two-layer sections with 7-8 mils thickness. The ground and supply planes are only solid on the four-layer sections. Since the two-layer segments including signal paths are completely bendable, the entire rectangular board can bend as a cycle. This two thickness-level structure can be easily modified to three thickness-level structure with the third three-layer sections with 12-13 mils thickness. The three thickness-level structure is to accommodate more complicated electronics circuit design.

    Abstract: An interchangeable powering assembly for a smart ring that is worn on a segment of a finger of a user. The assembly powers the smart ring without requiring the smart ring to be removed from the finger, but rather through at least one interchangeable power source having ornamental characteristics. The power source detachably couples to the smart ring through an integrated retention housing and a coupling member. The retention housing integrates into the smart ring. The retention housing includes at least one internal contact for electrically communicating with the electrical and sensing components of the smart ring, and at least one external contact for electrically communicating with the interchangeable power source. The coupling member detachably mounts into a housing aperture that forms in the retention housing to carry electrical power from the interchangeable power source to the retention housing for electrical distribution to the smart ring through the contacts.
