Abstract
A device includes a housing, one or more sensors configured to detect at least one of a voltage or a current in proximity to the device, one or more lighting elements configured to output light responsive to the one or more sensors detecting the at least one of the voltage or the current in proximity to the device, one or more speakers configured to output audio responsive to the one or more sensors detecting the at least one of the voltage or the current in proximity to the device, one or more network interfaces configured to communicatively couple the device to one or more additional devices, and one or more fastening mechanisms configured to secure the device to a surface.
Claims20
A wearable device comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a first antenna operatively coupled to the PCB;
- a second antenna operatively coupled to the PCB;
- an indicator operatively coupled to the PCB, the indicator configured to provide an indication associated with a detected electric field;
- a housing configured to at least partially enclose the PCB, the first antenna, the second antenna, and the indicator;
- and
- a biasable clip coupled to the housing, the biasable clip being biased toward a closed position and configured to releasably secure the wearable device to at least one of a garment or an accessory worn by a user, the biasable clip including:
- a first arm disposed adjacent to a first surface of the housing, and
- a second arm disposed adjacent to a second surface of the housing.
A device comprising:
- a housing;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed at least partially within the housing, the PCB including a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge;
- a first antenna mounted to the PCB and disposed at least partially within the housing, the first antenna being disposed at or along the first edge;
- a second antenna mounted to the PCB and disposed at least partially within the housing, the second antenna being disposed at or along the first edge;
- a plurality of visual indicators arranged as a row on the PCB;
- a switch mounted to the PCB, the switch being located more proximate to the second edge than the first antenna, the second antenna, and the plurality of visual indicators;
- a clip coupled to the housing;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from the first antenna, a first signal,
- receiving, from the second antenna, a second signal,
- determining, based at least in part on the first signal or the second signal, a strength of an electric field, and
- causing, via the plurality of visual indicators, output of a visual indication associated with at least one of:
- the strength of the electric field, or
- the electric field.
A wearable detector comprising:
- a first antenna;
- a second antenna;
- a plurality of visual indicators arranged as a row, the plurality of visual indicators configured to provide a visual indication associated with a strength of an electric field;
- a button;
- a housing configured to house the first antenna, the second antenna, the plurality of visual indicators, and the button, wherein the plurality of visual indicators and the button are disposed on a first side of the housing;
- and
- a clip including:
- a first arm coupled to or extending from a second side of the housing, and
- a second arm extending from the first arm and disposed adjacent to a third side of the housing, the third side of the housing being opposite the first side.
