Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensory-and-logic system includes a ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor sized and shaped to form an electrical connection with human skin, and an electrical component surrounded by the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A sensory-and-logic system, comprising: a power and data connector; and a ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor surrounding the power and data connector, the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor sized and shaped to form an electrical connection with human skin. 2 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 1 , wherein the power and data connector includes a universal serial bus port. 3 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 1 , further comprising a wrist band assembly supporting the power and data connector and the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 4 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor is a first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor, and further comprising a second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor distally located relative to the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 5 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 4 , wherein the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor and the second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor are distally supported by opposing portions of a wrist band assembly. 6 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 4 , wherein the second ring-shaped, electrically conductive skin sensor surrounds an optical pulse rate sensor. 7 . A sensory-and-logic system, comprising: a universal serial bus port; and a ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor surrounding the universal serial bus port, the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor sized and shaped to form an electrical connection with human skin. 8 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 7 , further comprising a wrist band assembly supporting the universal serial bus port and the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 9 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 7 , wherein the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor is a first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor, and further comprising a second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor distally located relative to the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 10 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 9 , wherein the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor and the second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor are distally supported by opposing portions of a wrist band assembly. 11 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 9 , wherein the second ring-shaped, electrically conductive skin sensor surrounds an optical pulse rate sensor. 12 . A sensory-and-logic system, comprising: a ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor sized and shaped to form an electrical connection with human skin; and an electrical component surrounded by the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 13 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 12 , wherein the electrical component includes a power and data connector. 14 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 13 , wherein the power and data connector includes a universal serial bus port. 15 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 12 , wherein the electrical component includes a second sensor, different than the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 16 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 15 , wherein the second sensor is an optical pulse rate sensor. 17 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 12 , wherein the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor is a first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor, and further comprising a second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor distally located relative to the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor. 18 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 17 , wherein the first ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor and the second ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor are distally supported by opposing portions of a wrist band assembly. 19 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 17 , wherein the second ring-shaped, electrically conductive skin sensor surrounds a second electrical component. 20 . The sensory-and-logic system of claim 12 , further comprising a compute system operably coupled to the ring-shaped, electrically-conductive skin sensor and the electrical component.
