    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure are directed to a wearable blood pressure measurement device having an inner sleeve and a cuff module. The inner sleeve is wearable on a limb of a user and has a first attachment mechanism. The cuff module has a second attachment mechanism that is attachable to the first attachment mechanism. The cuff module includes a cuff configured for placement over the inner sleeve, a bladder assembly having one or more bladders configured to expand and contract in response to a flow of a fluid therethrough, and a controller. The controller is configured to measure a blood pressure of the user while controlling expansion and contraction of the one or more bladders.

    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.
