DEVICE FEATURES AND DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR LONG-TERM ADHESION
First Claim
1. An electronic device for tong-term adhesion to a mammal, the device comprising:
- a housing having an electronic component contained therein;
a first wing and a second wing, each wing integrally formed with the housing;
an electrode positioned on a bottom surface of each of the wings wing, the electrodes electrically connected to the electronic component; and
an adhesive layer for adhesion to a surface of the mammal, the adhesive layer coated on a portion of the bottom surfaces of the wings, wherein the adhesive layer is not coated on the electrode or on a bottom surface of the housing.

Abstract
An electronic device for long-term adhesion to a mammal includes a housing with an electronic component. There is a first wing and a second wing, each being integrally formed with the housing. An electrode is positioned on a bottom surface of each of the wings, the electrodes electrically connected to the electronic component. An adhesive layer is provided for adhesion to a surface of the mammal. The adhesive layer is coated on a portion of the bottom surfaces of the wings. The adhesive layer is not coated on the electrode or on a bottom surface of the housing. A method of applying an electronic device to a mammal includes removing a first adhesive cover from a first wing of the electronic device to expose an electrode and an adhesive coated on a bottom surface of the first wing. There is a step of placing the exposed electrode into contact with the mammal by adhering the adhesive coated bottom of the first wing to the mammal. There is a step of removing a second adhesive cover from the second wing of the electronic device to expose an adhesive coated on a bottom surface of the second wing and another exposed electrode. There is a step of placing the another exposed electrode into contact with the mammal by adhering the adhesive coated bottom of the second wing to the mammal. After performing the removing and the placing steps, the housing is unattached to the mammal, but is held in position on the mammal using the adhesive coated bottoms of the first and the second wings.

27. An electronic device for long-term adhesion to a mammal, the device comprising:
-
a housing; a first wing extending laterally from the housing; a second wing extending laterally from the housing without overlapping the first wing; a first electrode positioned on a bottom surface of the first wing; a second electrode positioned on a bottom surface of the second wing; an electronic memory within the housing, the electronic memory configured to receive and store an electronic signal from the first and second electrodes while the electronic device is attached to the mammal; and an adhesive layer on a portion of a bottom surface of the first wing and the second wing and not on a bottom surface of the housing, wherein when the device is worn on the mammal only the adhesive layer is attached to the mammal. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
