First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a strap band including an encapsulated wire bus having a plurality of electrodes connected with the wire bus, the wire bus including wires, each wire connected with one of the plurality of electrodes, an upper surface of each electrode is sealed by a material of the strap band and extends outward of an inner surface of the strap band;
a band;
fastening hardware coupled with the band and with the strap band; and
a device including circuitry coupled with the wires, the band and the strap band coupled to the device at opposing ends of the device.

Abstract
A strap band including a flexible wire bus having electrodes and wires coupled with the electrodes is described. The wire bus may be encapsulated in the strap band by a molding process. The wire bus may determine electrode positions relative to each other and other structure coupled with the strap band. The strap band may be coupled with a device that includes circuitry that drives signals on to some of the electrodes and receives signals from non-driven electrodes. The electrode spacing and strap band dimensions may be selected to form a strap band that may accommodate a wide range of user body sizes for a target region the electrodes are positioned in contact with.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a strap band; and a wire bus encapsulated in the strap band and including a plurality of electrodes, each electrode coupled with a wire, each wire routed to and exits out of a first end of the strap band, each electrode including an upper surface that extends outward of an inner surface of the strap band, the plurality of electrodes are grouped into two pairs with each pair including two electrodes that are adjacent to each other, adjacent electrodes in the two pairs are spaced apart from each other by an identical distance, and innermost electrodes in each pair are spaced apart by a distance that is approximately one-third of a length of the strap band. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
