Abstract: A wearable blood pressure measurement device includes a first set of one or more sensors, a second set of one or more sensors, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain, from the first set of one or more sensors, a first set of one or more sensor outputs indicative of a blood pressure of a wearer of the wearable blood pressure measurement device. The processor is also configured to obtain, contemporaneously with obtaining the first set of one or more sensor outputs and from the second set of one or more sensors, a second set of one or more sensor outputs indicative of a set of one or more conditions under which the first set one or more sensor outputs is obtained.

Abstract: Methods and systems for producing circuitry using stackable passive components are discussed. More specifically, the present disclosure provides designs and fabrication methods for production of stackable devices that may be used as components in circuitry such as filters and impedance matching adaptors. Such components may be used to save space in printed circuit boards. Moreover, stackable passive components may be dual components, which may be improve the electrical performance in certain types of circuits such as matched component filters.

Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. In some examples, the electronic device includes an input element configured to move in a first direction in response to an input at the input element. The input element can include circuitry configured to perform a first functionality, and process data resulting from the performance of the first functionality and output the processed data from the input element. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processor electrically coupled to the circuitry and configured to process the movement of the input element as an input to the electronic device, and receive the processed data and perform an action based on the processed data.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to wearable electronic devices including a band having a flexible layer and a routing layer coupled to the flexible layer. The routing layer including one or more electrical traces. A first enclosure is coupled to the band at a first opening and includes a first upper enclosure segment coupled to a first side of the band and a first lower enclosure segment coupled to a second side of the band. A processing unit is enclosed within the first enclosure and electrically coupled to the routing layer. A second enclosure is coupled to the band at a second opening and includes a second upper enclosure segment coupled to the first side of the band and a second lower enclosure segment coupled to the second side of the band. A battery is enclosed within the second enclosure and electrically coupled to the processing unit via the routing layer.

Abstract: A photoplethysmographic (PPG) device is disclosed. The PPG device can include one or more light emitters and one or more light sensors to generate the multiple light paths for measuring a PPG signal and perfusion indices of a user. The multiple light paths between each pair of light emitters and light detectors can include different separation distances to generate both an accurate PPG signal and a perfusion index value to accommodate a variety of users and usage conditions. In some examples, the multiple light paths can include the same separation distances for noise cancellation due to artifacts resulting from, for example, tilt and/or pull of the device, a user's hair, a user's skin pigmentation, and/or motion. The PPG device can further include one or more lenses and/or reflectors to increase the signal strength and/or and to obscure the optical components and associated wiring from being visible to a user's eye.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a system including a reference device, a measurement device and a processor. The measurement device provides a three-dimensional (3-D) point map corresponding to first positions of a plurality of selected points on a torso of a user. The processor determines a shape of the torso based on the 3-D point map. The measurement device is sequentially placed on the plurality of selected points, and the 3-D point map represents the first positions of the plurality of selected points relative to a second position associated with a location in 3-D space of the reference device.

Abstract: Monolithic capacitor structures having a main capacitor and a vise capacitor are discussed. The vise capacitor provides to the monolithic capacitor structure reduced vibrations and/or acoustic noise due to piezoelectric effects. To that end, vise capacitor may cause piezoelectric deformations that compensate the deformations that are caused by the electrical signals in the main capacitor. Embodiments of these capacitor structures may have the main capacitor and the vise capacitor sharing portions of a rigid dielectric. Electrical circuitry that employs the vise capacitor to reduce noise and/or vibration in the monolithic capacitor structures is also described. Methods for fabrication of these capacitors are discussed as well.
