摘要： A digital watch has a face mounted local pulse sensor unit which is coupled to infrared plethysmograph electronics within the watch. The local pulse sensor includes transmitter and receiver photodiodes connected to the electronics by a plurality of moveable contact fingers. A connector at one end of a flat cable is insertable into a slotted opening on the side of the local pulse sensor and between the contact fingers and the two local photodiodes to disconnect the photodiodes from the electronics. Simultaneously, a remote pulse sensor unit at the other end of the cable is electrically coupled to the contact fingers by the connector for enabling the wearer's pulse at his finger to be sensed. A loop about the connector end of the cable maintains the connector in position when inserted into the local pulse sensor receptacle. A cuff at the remote sensor end of the cable secures the sensor to a wearer's finger for pulse monitoring.

摘要： A digital watch having a face mounted detachable pulse sensor unit coupled to infrared plethysmograph electronics within the watch. The pulse sensor unit is detachable from a receptacle on the watch face and mountable into a receptacle at a first end of a remote pulse sensing cable. The second end of the cable is connected into the watch receptacle for conveying the pulse sensing information to the infrared electronics. A cuff holds the pulse sensor unit in place against the wearer's finger for sampling his heartbeat. The wearer may thus monitor his pulse rate while both hands are free.

摘要： A tabulator keyboard of simplified design may be fabricated from a single flexible circuit and a minimum of other mechanical structures. The flexible circuit combines in one piece an array of deformable upper contacts, an array of stationary lower contacts, as well as the required interconnections between the elements of these arrays and the electronics module. The flexible circuit may be made of a reasonable transparent dielectric film (e.g. polyamide). The flexible circuit is folded in use such that the lower stationary array has its conductive surface opposite the upper deformable array. Means are provided for making electrical contact between a selected element in said lower array with a selected element in said upper array.

摘要： Electronic substrate of the electronic watch is the principal carrier of the electronics and electrical interconnections. It carries two alignment notches with top and bottom spacers embracing the substrate and engaging the alignment notches. The visual horological display is located in the top spacer and the batteries are located in the bottom spacer. Springs press onto the substrate and are contactable for input to the watch electronics. All important parts are keyed together for ease of assembly and accuracy of alignment.

摘要： Electronic watch movement is principally electronics mounted upon a substrate. The substrate is mounted with respect to the watchcase so that it can laterally shift in response to lateral shock. Springs are mounted on the substrate and resiliently center the substrate. At least one of these springs is electrically connected to the circuitry on the substrate and is contactable by an externally actuatable push-button so that external action on the watchcase can result in electrical changes in the electronic circuit of the watch movement.

摘要： An electronic device, e.g., a quartz crystal in an enclosure having three stubby leads for use in an electronic watch, is mounted adjacent to a substrate having three feedthrough holes near its perimeter. Connection between the substrate and the three stubby leads are made simultaneously by three individual connection devices all attached to a tab through individual breakaway neck portions. Each connection device comprises a tail which is forked for insertion by interference fit into the feedthrough holes in the substrate. At the opposite end from the tail is a keyhole opening, in which the larger hole fits over one of the stubby leads and in which a smaller hole can be slid onto the lead by a force fit. Thus, in operation, the bifurcated tails of each device are placed through the feedthrough holes and the keyhole openings of each device are placed over their respective stubby leads. By pulling on the tab common to the three connector devices, the smaller hole of each keyhole opening is force fitted onto the stubby lead, after which the tab is broken away from the respective connector devices at the necked-down portions. A tooling hole in each connector device adjacent the keyhole opening permits removal of individual connector devices, such as by a hooked tool.

摘要： Electronic watch module is constructed of a spacer block, a substrate on the spacer block carrying electronic components thereon, and a cover over some of the electronic components. Basic rate control of the electronic watches is provided by a crystal which is mounted in a can. An opening in the spacer block receives the crystal can, and deflectable fingers on the spacer block restrain the crystal can in place.
