A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements. The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements.

Device comprising decorative objects having restrained freedom to move and suspended in fluid

A construct having an aesthetic form is adapted to please a wearer and to be worn by the wearer. The construct provides a structure having a wearer connection element such as a ring, a chain, a wristband, a pin, a clasp, a clip, and a body piercing element. The functional elements including a fluid reservoir in which at least two fluids are disposed, and a motion generation system are integrated on the structure, The motion generation system is functionally affixed to the structure so as to agitate the at least two fluids, causing a visual animation effect. The construct, in particular jewelry, may have incorporated therein one or more channels and/or reservoirs containing one or more fluids wherein the fluids as well as the forms and surface treatments of channels/reservoirs are selected possess physical properties so as to promote a defined interaction with the one or more fluids. The interaction influences the visual appearance of the device, such device optionally being made at least in part of precious metals, natural components such as pearls, and/or precious stones.

Dynamic fluidic jewelry

A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements and actuated by invisible mechanism(s). The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements and/or actuation mechanisms.

Portable device comprising decorative elements driven by invisible driving means, in a liquid

A system manages the reactions of fluids to their changes in their environment in order to convert these reactions into energy thereby harvesting the same while protecting the device against destruction or malfunction when the environmental conditions exceed predefined thresholds.

Energy harvesting with fluids

An indication device is provided. The indication device includes an elongated fluid chamber containing at least one electrically conductive liquid driven by a pump for conductive liquids and an immiscible, relatively non-conductive fluid. At least one segment of at least one fluid is used as an indicator. This segment is driven by the pump along adjacent indices of an indicator visible to an observer using a meniscus location sensor and a feedback controller so as to e.g indicate a quantity to the observer.

Indication device

A drive system for energizing a device that includes a bellows actuated drive. The bellows actuated drive provides linear forward and backward movement by fluid expansion and contraction of a fluid within a reservoir according to a temperature differential while the reservoir is in fluid contact with the bellows. In one variant, two bellows are configured in a V shaped conformation. Various devices are driven using the drive system of the current invention and include a timepiece, a medical device, an implantable medical device, a cardiac rhythm management device, a hearing aid, a medical micro-injector, a sensor, and a biometric transmitter.

Temperature driven winding system

The deviceincludes a liquid filled bellows activated battery composed of two non miscible fluidsflowing through a channelcontaining two electrodesof different metals. One of the fluidsis an electrolyte while the secondone is electrically non conducting. At rest the two electrodesare in the non conductive fluid. When the electrical device is actuated, manually or by an external force, the fluids surrounding the electrodesare replaced by the electrolytethus generating an electrical voltage between the two electrodes. The electrical current can be used to temporarily generate light or supply energy to another device. When the actuation mechanism is released, the electrodesare surrounded by the non conductive fluidsagain and the electrical current is stopped.
