Abstract: Techniques provided herein are directed toward accurately determining when an item is removed from a blister pack by utilizing capacitive sensors. The capacitive sensors may be positioned on each blister of the blister and may detect the presence of the skin of the finger and/or the whether the blister has been deformed, which can occur when an item is removed from the blister. Some embodiments may determine whether skin was detected at the time of extraction to determine whether extraction was intentional.

Abstract: Disclosed are electronic devices for detecting contact or close proximity to an object to be detected. An electronic device includes a capacitive sensor enclosed by a housing and a controller coupled to the capacitive sensor, where the controller is configured to detect contact or close proximity to an object to be detected, and where the capacitive sensor includes a capacitor with a sensor electrode. The sensor electrode is separated from an outer surface of the housing by the housing. At least a portion of the housing includes a partially conductive material and the sensor electrode is in conductive contact with the partially conductive material, or the sensor electrode is in conductive contact with an electrically conductive element on an inner surface of the housing or at least partially embedded in the housing.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for detecting activation of an electronic device, including a biomedical and biometric device. The electronic device can operate in a low-power mode until it is determined that the electronic device is in close proximity to or in contact with a body, and activated. The electronic device can include a first sensor including a first capacitance sensor, a second sensor, and a controller coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The controller can receive a first signal from the first sensor and determine that the electronic device is in close proximity to or in contact with a body based on the first signal, and receive a second signal from the second sensor and determine that the electronic device is activated based on one or both of the first signal and the second signal. The electronic device can transition from the low-power mode to an active mode in response to determining that the electronic device is activated.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for connecting a flexible circuit to a battery. Conductive pads are formed simultaneous with mounting and reflowing circuitry components on a flexible circuit, where the conductive pads serve as preformed tabs capable of being joined to terminals of a battery. The flexible circuit can be bent in a manner so that the conductive pads are positioned adjacent to the positive and negative terminals of a battery, such as a coin cell battery. The conductive pads can be attached to the terminals to form a cost-efficient and space-efficient design connecting the battery to the flexible circuit.
