ELECTROADHESION DEVICE WITH VOLTAGE CONTROL MODULE
20230111007 · 2023-04-13 ·

Disclosed embodiments include electroadhesion devices for securing smartphones and other consumer devices to target surfaces. In various embodiments, the electroadhesion device may include a digital switch for adjusting the output voltage generated by a voltage converter. The digital switch may enable safe operation of the electroadhesion device by ensuring the output voltage generated by the voltage converter is compatible with the target surface. To determine a compatible output voltage, the electroadhesion device may include one or more sensors that may measure one or more characteristics of the target surface including conductivity, porosity, hardness, smoothness, and the like.

Polymeric golf club head with metallic face

A golf club head includes a club face and a body. The club face is formed from a metallic material and includes a first, hitting surface, a second, rear surface that is opposite the first surface, and a flange that is separated from the second surface by a transverse distance. The body is formed from a polymeric material and includes a crown, a sole, a hosel, and a face support. The club face and the body cooperate to define a closed volume, and the face support extends to opposing sides of the flange and is operative to couple the club face to the body.

Holder having multiple carry devices and removable front case for use with photographic items
09845174 · 2017-12-19 ·

A holder for receiving, storing and carrying photographic items such as cameras, printers, film packs or photographic prints. The holder has a front/distal case that is removably connected to a back/proximal case so that the two cases can be used together or separately. A multi-clip having a pair of open sections and a base member removably attaches the front case to the back case. A pair of side members guide the multi-clip into place to be received in a clip receiver. The cases are configured be used with various carrying devices that allow the user to carry the holder or one of the cases thereof. In one embodiment, the front case has a back section with a divider that defines separate areas for a film pack and prints and a front section that pivots to open or close the front case and allow access to the items.

Underwater systems for digital image capturing devices

An underwater system is disclosed for use with a digital image capturing device (DICD) in underwater environments. The underwater system includes a center band having first and second support bands; a first housing fixedly connected to the first support band and including an optically clear material; a second housing fixedly connected to the second support band and including an optically clear material; a cradle connected to the first support band and configured to receive the DICD; and a latching mechanism positioned between the cradle and the first support band. The second support band is pivotally connected to the first support band such that the underwater system is repositionable between an open position and a closed position, and the latching mechanism is repositionable between a locked position, in which the latching mechanism securely engages the DICD, and an unlocked position, in which the latching mechanism is disengaged from the DICD.

SYSTEM COMPRISING A PORTABLE SWITCHING DEVICE FOR USE WITH A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.

Camera Case Removable Camera Lens Holder

A camera lens holder comprising a cylindrical body formed or attached to a perpendicularly aligned planar base. The cylindrical body has sidewalls and coaxially aligned cylindrical cavity with a top opening with a chamfered inside edge. The diameter of the cylindrical cavity and the length of the sidewalls are sufficient in diameter and length to receive and hold the bayonet-style end connector on a camera lens. Formed on the inside surface of the cylindrical body are lugs configured to engage the lugs formed on the bayonet-style end on the lens. Formed on the outside surface of the cylindrical body are two or more projecting wings. Attached to the bottom surface of the planar body is a hook connector pad configured to connect to the inside surface of a camera bag made of cotton, nylon or felt material. The chamfered inside edge of the cylindrical body is configured to allow the user to easily insert the bayonet-style end connector on the lens without precisely aligning the lens over the top opening.
