  • Patent number: 11944405
    Abstract: A pressure-sensing device includes a device frame, a flexible membrane, a pressure sensor, and device electronics. The device frame includes a base surface that rests on a supporting structure and a frame attachment region located opposite to the base surface such that the frame attachment region is raised from the supporting structure when the base surface is resting on the supporting structure. The device frame also includes a seating surface. The flexible membrane is attached to the frame attachment region such that the device frame and the flexible membrane enclose a pressure chamber. The seating surface extends outward around the flexible membrane and the flexible membrane protrudes above the seating surface. The pressure sensor is configured to generate a pressure signal. The device electronics are configured to determine the pressure in the pressure chamber based on the pressure signal.

  • Publication number: 20240099880
    Abstract: A thermal device includes a first thermal unit, a second thermal unit, and device electronics. The first thermal unit includes a first plurality of semiconductor elements sandwiched between first and second thermal unit substrates. The first thermal unit substrate exchanges heat with a user. The second thermal unit includes a second plurality of semiconductor elements sandwiched between third and fourth thermal unit substrates. The third thermal unit substrate exchanges heat with the user. The device electronics are coupled to the first thermal unit and the second thermal unit. The device electronics operate the first thermal unit in a heating state in which the first thermal unit transfers heat to the user via the first thermal unit substrate. The device electronics operate the second thermal unit in a cooling state in which the second thermal unit removes heat from the user via the third thermal unit substrate.

  • Patent number: 6965026
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to nanoscale polyhedron-shaped molecules having molecular building blocks connected at their vertices. The subject invention also concerns methods of producing nanoscale polyhedrons utilizing a self-assembly reaction. The resultant molecules are faceted polyhedra that are porous, chemically robust, contain chemically accessible sites on their facets, and which are neutral and soluble in common laboratory solvents. The nanoscale polyhedrons can exhibit additional desirable physical properties, such as ferromagnetic properties.
