Latest Patents

Daniels’s listed patents describe a digital watch with a clocking signal generator and a control circuit that multiplexes seconds, minutes, hours, and date information to a visual display panel. In normal operation, the watch displays hours and minutes. The user can also select seconds or date information and set the watch’s time and date.

A notable feature is the use of three functional switches, which may be incorporated into the watch stem. Operating one switch, such as by pushing in and releasing the stem, first displays seconds and then briefly displays the date before the watch returns to its normal hours-and-minutes display.

The two supplied patent descriptions are substantially similar, both focusing on the watch’s display sequencing, setting functions, and simplified controls.
