An apparatus comprising: a displacement current sensor configured to measure for a subject one or more sensed electrical signals; and circuitry configured to process the one or more sensed electrical signals to obtain an electrocardiogram signal and a variable impedance signal caused by an arterial pulse wave.

Bio-signal detection

An apparatus comprising: a first displacement current sensor comprising a first sensing electrode and a first guard electrode, wherein the first displacement current sensor is configured to measure a first sensed signal dependent upon electrical activity of a subjects heart; a second displacement current sensor comprising a second sensing electrode and a second guard electrode, wherein the second displacement current sensor is configured to measure a second sensed signal dependent upon electrical activity of a subjects heart; and circuitry configured to process at least the first sensed signal to compensate for artefacts arising from motion of the subject.

Provided are adaptive wearable devices that measure physiological conditions, methods of operating the device, and computer programs for use with the device. The adaptive wearable device provides improved reliability in data due to the adaptive structure and can be made waterproof with the incorporation of a polymer material. In the context of a wearable device, an apparatus is provided that includes a support structure configured to at least partially enclose the torso or an appendage of a user, a spring module disposed on the support structure, a first section of flexible circuitry disposed on the spring module and a first sensor disposed on the spring module and configured to monitor the user.

Adaptive wearable device for physiological measurements and methods using the same

An apparatus comprising: a light detector; a light source, laterally offset from the light detector by a first lateral offset; optics configured to receive light emitted by the light source and output the received light, wherein a majority of the light output is directed towards an offset region laterally offset from the light detector by at least a second lateral offset different from the first lateral offset.

Apparatus comprising a light detector, a light source and optics

An apparatus comprises a transformable body configured to be elastically stretchable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration, a user input device, a user input device configured to receive user input signal, a communication interface configured to provide a wireless link for the apparatus and a flexible interconnection between at least two components within the transformable body. The apparatus may perform determining of user information based on the user input signal, transmitting at least part of the user information over the wireless link to a remote processing unit, receiving feedback information from the remote processing unit and presenting the feedback information to the user.

Apparatus with elastically transformable body

An apparatus including: a touch sensitive input responsive to manual actuation; a display output associated with the touch sensitive input; and a controller configured to provide and maintain, in response to a manual actuation at a user selected location of the touch sensitive input, an output at the user selected location to facilitate additional manual actuation via the touch sensitive input in the region of the user selected location.

Touch sensitive input

An apparatus includes first and second portions configured for relative movement; and a compression transmission arrangement extending between them and configured to enable movement of the first portion and the second portion towards each other and further configured to transmit compression forces between the first portion and the second portion to limit movement of the first portion and the second portion towards each other. The apparatus further includes a tension transmission arrangement extending between those portions which is configured to enable movement of the first portion and the second portion away from each other and further configured to transmit tension forces between the first portion and the second portion to limit movement of the first portion and the second portion away from each other. Both transmission arrangements may be on the same side of an equilibrium plane of the apparatus.

Limiting movement

Monitoring deformation of a flexible electronic apparatus. Changes in space within the apparatus between at least two measurement points are detected; and degree of deformation of the apparatus is determined based on the detected changes in the space within the apparatus between the at least two measurement points.

Flexible device deformation measurement

A method and apparatus in which in an accessory device is adapted for attaching to a handheld device and the accessory device. A coupling is formed with a first input of the handheld device. User input is formed. A predetermined signal is formed to the first input of the handheld device responsive to the receiving of user input using the formed coupling independently of any conductive coupling with the handheld device.

Method and apparatus for handheld device control by accessory device

A sound producing apparatus with multi-directivity has two or more speakers to produce music or other types of audio sounds. Each of the speakers can produce audio sounds in a certain direction and at least one speaker is steerable so that its sound propagation direction relative to the others can be changed. Furthermore, one or more speakers can produce audio sounds in an adjustable angular range. One or more of the speakers can be dual-mode speakers, each of which can be operated as a wide-angle speaker or a narrow-angle speaker. With multi-directivity, it is possible to play one type of music in one direction and another type of music in another direction to suit the interests of the audience. The apparatus can be a mobile phone, an audio player, a digital or analog recorder/player, or the like.

Multi-directivity sound device

A casing, method and apparatus wherein the casing includes at least one user deformable portion; at least one sensor configured to detect deformation of the at least one user deformable portion; wherein the casing is configured to be removably coupled to an apparatus and is configured so that, in response to detecting the deformation of the user deformable portion of the casing, a control signal for control of the apparatus is provided.

Casing

An apparatus including a glass window, a front cover, a back cover, and an elastic frame. The elastic frame is configured to form at least a first neutral plane and a second neutral plane.

Flexible apparatus structure

An apparatus including a body configured for resilient contortion from a neutral equilibrium shape by a user, the body having an exterior surface that resiliently contorts in response to user actuation and defines at least part of an exterior surface of the apparatus; and electronic circuitry including at least a processor and a display, controlled by the processor on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the body.

Contortion of an electronic apparatus

An apparatus comprising: a flexible body comprising an arrangement for limiting flexing of the body, the arrangement comprising: a first part within the body; a second part within the body; a flexible interconnect extending at least between the first part and the second part wherein the arrangement is configured to change between a first configuration, in which a portion of the interconnect between the first part and the second part is of a variable length enabling more and less flexing of the interconnect, and a second configuration, in which the portion of the interconnect between the first part and the second part has a limited length that limits one or both of more flexing and less flexing.
