A head worn computer includes a frame adapted to hold a computer display in front of a user's eye, a processor adapted to present digital content in the computer display and to produce a haptic signal in coordination with the digital content display, and a haptic system including a plurality of haptic segments, wherein each of the haptic segments is individually controlled in coordination with the haptic signal.

Modular smartband can include a plurality of coupled modules. The plurality of modules can include at least one core module having at least one processor and at least one peripheral module. Each of the plurality of modules has a coupler end and a receiving end disposed on opposing ends of the module, the coupler end configured to be received in the receiving end of an adjacent module. At least one of the plurality of modules can include a display and at least one the plurality of modules includes a battery.

An apparatus comprises an electronic equipment chassis comprising a housing and at least one lid, the housing comprising a control panel with a first set of one or more status indicators. The apparatus also comprises at least one latch configured for securing the at least one lid to the housing, the at least one latch comprising a second set of one or more status indicators. The apparatus further comprises a processing device configured to determine status information for electronic equipment housed in the electronic equipment chassis, the status information characterizing whether at least one of opening and removing the at least one lid is safe to perform at a given time, and controlling, based at least in part on the determined status information, at least one of the first set of indicators and at least one of the second set of indicators.

An electronic device and method for controlling the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first surface in a first direction, a second surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a third surface enclosing at least a portion of a space formed between the first surface and the second surface. The electronic device also includes an audio module changing an audio signal input to the electronic device into an electronic signal, and a processor being operationally connected to the display and the audio module. The processor is configured to detect the audio signal input via the audio module from a first user via the first surface, detect a touch signal dragged from the third surface in the direction of the second surface, and display in the second surface a translation corresponding to the audio signal.

A system and method for variable power transfer in an inductive charging or power system. In accordance with an embodiment the system comprises a pad or similar base unit that contains a primary, which creates an alternating magnetic field. A receiver comprises a means for receiving the energy from the alternating magnetic field from the pad and transferring it to a mobile device, battery, or other device. In accordance with various embodiments, additional features can be incorporated into the system to provide greater power transfer efficiency, and to allow the system to be easily modified for applications that have different power requirements. These include variations in the material used to manufacture the primary and/or the receiver coils; modified circuit designs to be used on the primary and/or receiver side; and additional circuits and components that perform specialized tasks, such as mobile device or battery identification, and automatic voltage or power-setting for different devices or batteries.
