20090060287 | Physiological condition measuring device - A device is configured for one or more of communication transfer and audio/video playback. The device includes a sensing system for measuring a physiological condition through manipulation of an output of the device and analysis of a user response. | 03-05-2009 |
20130130067 | FLUID-SURFACED ELECTRODE - An electrochemical device (such as a battery) includes at least one electrode having a fluid surface, which may employ a surface energy effect to maintain a position of the fluid surface and/or to modulate flow within the fluid. Fluid-directing structures may also modulate flow or retain fluid in a predetermined pattern. An electrolyte within the device may also include an ion-transport fluid, for example infiltrated into a porous solid support. | 05-23-2013 |
20130199155 | Rocket Propulsion Systems, and Related Methods - In an aspect of the invention, a system for rocket propulsion includes a heater operable to generate thermal energy from energy supplied from a non-chemical energy source, and to supply the thermal energy to a non-cryogenic fuel to thermally decompose the fuel into components that include at least a first component and a second component. The rocket propulsion system also includes a combustion chamber and a nozzle. The combustion chamber is operable to receive an oxidizer and at least a portion of the thermally decomposed fuel, and allow the two to combust. The nozzle generates thrust by directing the products of the combustion out of the system. | 08-08-2013 |

20150124408 | MANAGEMENT OF EXTERIOR TEMPERATURES ENCOUNTERED BY USER OF A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE IN RESPONSE TO AN INFERRED USER CONTACT WITH THE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - Described embodiments include a portable electronic device. The device includes a shell housing components of the portable electronic device having a heat-generating component. The device includes a heat-rejection element located at an exterior surface of the shell. The heat-rejection element is configured to reject heat received from the heat-generating component into an environment in thermal contact with the heat-rejection element. The device includes a controllable thermal coupler configured to regulate heat transfer to the heat-rejection element. The device includes an activity monitor configured to infer a user touch to the shell in response to a detected activity of the portable electronic device. The device includes a thermal manager configured to regulate heat transfer by the controllable thermal coupler to the heat-rejection element in response to the inferred user touch. | 05-07-2015 |
