Further, the person obtaining the consent must have provided an interpreter if the individual being sterilized did not understand the language used on the consent form, or by the person. • The individual being sterilized must be permitted to have a witness of the individual's choice present when consent is obtained. • The sterilization operation must be requested without fraud, duress, or undue influence. • Informed consent for sterilization may not be obtained while the individual is in labor or within 24 hours postpartum or post abortion; (ii) seeking to obtain an abortion; or (iii) under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect the individual's state of awareness. • The informed consent procedure may be conducted either by the physician or the physician's designee. • A copy of the signed informed consent form shall be provided to the patient, retained by the physician and the hospital, and attached to the physician's billing form. Certification of Informed Consent for Sterilization6 • The consent form provided by the Department of Health Services in English and Spanish is the only form approved for use and must be signed and dated by the individual to be sterilized, the interpreter if one is provided, the person who obtained the consent, and the physician who performed the sterilization procedure.7 Penalties for Failure to Comply with Sterilization Requirements Penalties for Providers No payment for care or services will be made under Medi-Cal to the attending physician for the costs of any voluntary non-emergency sterilization unless the authorization request is accompanied by the documents evidencing compliance with the requisite informed consent procedures.8 Continued on next page Data acquired by the Department of Health Services regarding failure by health care providers to comply with the sterilization informed consent procedures promulgated in the Medi-Cal regulations will also be forwarded to the Medical Board of California.9 The Medical Board of California has authority under the Medical Practice Act to investigate complaints and discipline physicians who violate the law.10 The Medical Practice Act specifically provides that failure to comply with the requirements of informed consent for sterilization requirements under Medi-Cal constitutes unprofessional conduct.11 The board has a variety of penalties it may impose at its discretion on providers that are found guilty of unprofessional conduct, including: revoking the physician's license, suspending the physician's right to practice for a period of not more than one year, placing the physician on probation, or subjecting the physician to any other discipline the administrative law judge deems proper.12 Currently, no cases have been brought that set a precedent for actions against physicians or surgeons for violating informed consent rules regarding sterilization. However, penalties imposed on physicians for other various acts of unprofessional conduct under the Medical Practice Act and upheld by California courts have included the following: • A physician who sustained two misdemeanor convictions involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages was placed on three years probation and given several terms to meet, among them a psychiatric evaluation, testing, and treatment, medical evaluation and treatment, abstention from alcohol and use of controlled substances and community service.13 • A physician who employed an unlicensed person to engage in the practice of medicine had his approval to supervise physician's assistants revoked, along with his physician and surgeon's certificate.14 The revocation was then stayed for three years and the physician was placed on probation. • Two physicians who had lawfully changed their names violated a provision requiring physicians to be licensed under their own names and obtain duplicate licenses for name changes were found guilty of unprofessional conduct and fined $250 each.15 • A physician who pleaded guilty to soliciting the subornation of perjury, and who was also found to suffer from a mental illness that prohibited him from practicing medicine with reasonable skill was charged with unprofessional conduct and had his license revoked.16 Bringing a Complaint Under the Medical Practice Act Under this Act, the Division of Medical Quality carries out all proceedings against a licensee for unprofessional conduct in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.17 Accusations may be raised against licensees by health care consumers and must be filed within three years of the board discovering the grounds for action, or within seven years after the act alleged for disciplinary action occurs, whichever event occurs first.18 As an alternative to filing Continued on next page or prosecuting a formal accusation, the Division of Medical Quality may also agree to issue a public letter of reprimand for minor violations after it has conducted its investigation.19 Penalties for Health Facilities Failure by health facilities to comply with Medi-Cal regulation constitutes cause for suspension as a provider of services under Medi-Cal.20 ENDNOTES 1 42 C.F.R. § 441.52. 2 Cal.

Artisan: Busarin
"After I graduated from the university, I did some disc jockeying but felt that this job did not reflect who I was and what I wanted. Indeed I wanted to be independent and earn a living from something I love.
"The idea of making jewelry came not only because I love jewelry but also because it goes along so well with women. I initially bought and resold items, but gradually started making them myself. I chose easy patterns and low prices but customers came to me with different needs, asking for better items regardless of the price. Therefore, I started using higher quality materials and updated the patterns accordingly.
"My jewelry is skillfully handmade with delicate patterns. I always pay attention to new or different things that could inspire me.
"Although I could draw my inspiration from pop culture, mostly I prefer to help get society more in touch with the natural environment. Most of my patterns display butterflies, dragonflies, flowers and other images that put people and nature back together."

Dancing With The Stars
Willow and Bristol Palin Start Facebook Flame War
While Bristol Palin continues her improbable and seemingly illegitimate run on Dancing with the Stars, she and her sister Willow might get in some trouble because of Facebook.
During the widely watched premiere of Sarah Palin's Alaska the other night, Willow and Bristol took to Willow's Facebook page to take on a few critics, and naturally the results took a turn toward the nasty. "You're a typical s--- talker," wrote Bristol to one commenter. "Talking s--- because you have nothing else going for you. Just like you pretended you didn't know what Dancing with the Stars was."
Sister Willow was less magnanimous with her words, writing that haters were "so gay" and calling at least one a "f-----," slurs that seems especially upsetting in this time of rampant gay bullying. You have to wonder how much more dirty laundry will come out against Bristol and her family in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, as always, be careful what you write on Facebook, everyone!

Top EPA Management Challenges: Site Reuse, Chemical Risks, Delegation to States
The EPA's top management challenges in 2013 were oversight of delegation to states, safe reuse of contaminated sites, enhancing IT security to combat cyber threats, lack of information and authority for managing chemical risks, and workforce planning, according to the agency's inspector general.
The OIG's annual plan for FY14 says these priorities will help guide audits and investigations into the agency this year.
Many of the year's audits are already underway, while others will begin in the next few months. They cover EPA oversight issues including:
- Hurricane Sandy recovery funding
- Diesel Emission Recovery Act grants
- Siting of renewables on potentially contaminated land
- Enforcement agreement compliance for Clean Air Act violators, and
- Management of drinking water risks related to fracking.
Takeaway: The EPA Office of Inspector General's 2014 Annual Plan outlines the agency's management challenges, and the auditor's priorities for FY14.

Portable and hand-held computing and communications devices with wireless communication capabilities often have signal transmission or reception issues depending, for example, on the relative sizes of the devices and/or the signal wavelengths used. Antennas of various types have been used with such devices. Such antennas have radiated or received electromagnetic signals with varying degrees of effectiveness depending upon the physical types, orientations, sizes and/or structural configurations of the antennas, particularly in view of the wavelengths of the signals to be transmitted or received.
Small electronic devices, such as hand-held or wrist-top devices, have typically used loop antennas. In wristwatch types of devices with wireless communications abilities, loop antennas have been disposed as separate elongated loops in one or both sides of a watchband or as a continuous loop extending around the entire circumference of the watchband or watchface. Electromagnetic signal propagation is not very efficient for the elongated loop antennas embedded in each wrist band side of dual sided watchband, such as is used with a common tongue buckle watchband. Such loop antennas often provide a small, weak radiation area and the direction of radiation can be limited as loop antennas typically provide radiation mostly normal to the loop, leaving large areas of little or no signal transmission or reception. Note also that tongue buckles typically preclude the use of the loop antennas wrapping around the circumference of the wrist because the tongue fastener of such a buckle does not generally provide good continuous electrical contact when bringing and holding the two wristband side portions together.
Wristbands have heretofore had loop antennas wrapping around the circumference of the wrist with acceptable efficiency in transmission and reception. Nevertheless, these configurations require a good mechanical buckling for creating an acceptable electrical contact with low losses across the buckle. Such mechanical buckling has heretofore been bulky, causing discomfort in use and a lack of visual appeal. Adjustability of such buckles has also been complicated.
Implementations described and claimed herein address the foregoing and other situations by providing a dipole antenna in a band of a watch or other electronic device adapted for wireless communication. Such an electronic device has a two-part connecting band, such as a watchband, and the dipole antenna has two component parts, each of which is disposed in respective parts of the two-part connecting band. Such an implementation provides efficient signal radiation, and/or reception. Other implementations are also described and recited herein.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. Other features, details, utilities, and advantages of the claimed subject matter will be apparent from the following more particular written Detailed Description of various embodiments and implementations as further illustrated in the accompanying drawings and defined in the appended claims.
Technology is described here below for disposing a dipole antenna within an externally disposed band or strap of an electronic device, such as a watchband of a watch, so that the antenna may provide efficient electromagnetic wave radiation transmission and/or reception for the electronic device. As will be described further below, such technology may be useful in a portable computing or communications device, and may be particularly useful in a wrist watch having wireless communication capabilities.
According to this technology, an antenna (not visible in the view of
One or more application programs 266 may be loaded into memory 262 and run on the operating system 264. Examples of application programs may include the following non-exhaustive listing of: phone dialer programs, email programs, scheduling/calendaring programs, PIM (personal information management) programs, Internet browser programs, and/or many others, like or even unlike those listed here. The applications 266 may use and store information in the storage 262 and/or 268, such as e-mail or other messages used by an e-mail application, contact information used by a PIM, appointment information used by a scheduling program, documents used by a word processing application, and otherwise both like and even unlike those listed here.
The electronic device 210 may include a power supply 270, which may be implemented as one or more batteries. The power supply 270 might alternatively or additionally include an external power source, such as an AC adapter or a powered docking cradle that recharges the batteries.
The electronic device 210 may also include one or more types of external notification mechanisms; for example, an LED 240 and an audio interface 274, as shown in
The electronic device 210 also includes a wireless communications interface 272 that performs the function of receiving and/or transmitting wireless communications, such as radio frequency (e.g., FM) communications or Bluetooth or other communications. The wireless communications interface 272 facilitates wireless connectivity between the electronic device 210 and other receivers, transmitters, networks, devices, etc., either via a communications carrier or service provider or via Bluetooth or like communications with other devices. Wireless electromagnetic wave or signal transmissions and receptions are communicated to and from the interface 272 via an antenna 222. In many implementations, the antenna 222 forms a dipole antenna, although it may take other forms as well. Internal electronic circuitry transmissions to and from the wireless interface 272 may be conducted under control of the operating system 264. Communications received by the wireless interface 272 may thus be disseminated to application programs 266 via the operating system 264, and vice versa, e.g., from the programs 266 and/or operating system 264 to the wireless interface 272. The wireless interface 272 then communicates with the antenna 222 to provide wireless communications for the device 210.
In one example of the described technology, electronic device 210 is a mobile electronic device, such as a watch device that may include a wireless interface. More particularly,
The electronic system 312 may be a computer-based or computer-like system, including functionality of operating as either or both a transmitter and/or a receiver, and may thus be or include a transceiver. Consequently, as illustrated in
As introduced above, an antenna or antenna system is presently-described for an electronic device having a wireless communication capability. More particularly, a dipole antenna is shown and described as disposed on or within a connecting band or strap of an electronic device, such as a watchband of a watch, for improving transmission and/or reception of electromagnetic signals. As will be further described with respect to
With reference now to
Note also that as shown in
Provision of two separate elements 522 a, 522 b allows for use of a conventional tongue buckle 526 for fastening the watchband 504 on a user's wrist. As is typical for such buckles, the tongue 527 engages one of the buckle holes 528 on the second watchband side portion 504 b to fasten the band 504.
Note, as the present use of a dipole antenna diverges from the more typical dipole orientation of a substantially co-linear or co-planar, advantages and disadvantages arise. For example, a co-linear dipole antenna provides the best pickup or gain, but, such a dipole also has transmission nulls (i.e., areas of cancelled signals from the interference of two or more antenna elements in an antenna system) out the ends of the extending dipole arms. A dipole with a non-co-linear orientation will have less prominent nulls and can thus provide a better transmission/reception pattern.
In some implementations, both component elements of the dipole antenna 722 are identical or nearly so, and both are like component part 722 a, each having the same or substantially the same effective radiation/reception length, here shown as length l. In dipole antennas generally, the two separate elements would typically be of equal (or substantially equal length), with the combined length of the two separate elements providing the wavelength of the antenna as a whole.
In general, many implementations may be more functional if the arms of the dipole antenna provide the longest combined length possible and/or reasonable (with variable tuning means in the driving circuit, see
Moreover, it may be that in some circumstances, the overlap with the extended portion y may be provided to improve the manufacturability of the device, by easing assembly of the antenna system within the watchband. By making the antenna portion or element 722 b longer (l+y), it will then be pre-disposed to fit within a corresponding watchband portion of the same substantial length, without allowing for any movement or improper positioning of the antenna component 722 b therewithin during assembly. The antenna portion 722 b will thus not improperly move or have any tendency to move out of position during assembly, and will not require any additional means for holding or securing it in place within the watchband.
Aperture 730 also provides for the disposition of through holes or buckle holes 728 (shown in dashed lines) for a tongue buckle, if used. The holes 728 are formed in the watchband itself and thus not directly shown here, rather only in phantom, dashed lines. Moreover, though not required, but if size and adjustability criteria suggest that one or more buckle holes 728 t should be disposed within the effective radiation area (again, as denoted by length l) of the antenna portion 722 b, then a thinner aperture portion 730 t may be provided to accommodate these holes 728 t. The aperture portion 730 t would reduce the radiation ability of this antenna portion 722 b, at least in this cutout area, but this may be a small and desirable trade-off in view of the other interference issues (see
Note the width w of each of the components 722 a, 722 b of
The antenna may be disposed, inter alia, within the watchband as described, or may be disposed on or attached to the top surface of the watchband or, it may be connected to another outer surface, such as the under surface of the watchband. Even so, the wrist and/or skin of a user can create an undesirable capacitance with the antenna causing loss or inefficiency. Thus, it may prove more effective to maximize the distance between the wrist and the antenna, thus suggesting a maximally thick inner layer of the watchband separating the antenna from the skin. Nevertheless, cosmetic or style considerations will likely also provide a rational limit on this inner watchband thickness. It is currently believed that thinner watchbands may be more cosmetically attractive to, as well as less cumbersome in use for, end-users. In many instances, the antenna may be sandwiched between watchband layers, as for example between inner and outer layers of a band. These dispositions may be provided for any of various reasons such as for aesthetics: i.e., though an exposed, viewable antenna may be attractive in some cases, such an exposed antenna may more typically not be consumer-friendly. Thus, in many implementations, the antenna will be covered with some watchband material, such as for example a leather or a plastic that obfuscates view of the antenna. Moreover, hiding the antenna allows more variability in watch style or fashionability.
In other cases, the antenna may be positioned for enhancing operability as it would if it were exposed with no potentially interfering watchband material disposed thereover. In some implementations, the majority of or the entirety of the watchband may be made of antenna material, and thus form the antenna. In some other cases, however, it may be that some watchband materials may be implemented that magnify the electromagnetic signal transmission and/or reception. For example, it may be that disposition of a metal antenna in or under or in other association with some plastics in or of the watchband may enhance operability. Even so, the material of the watchband may in many still further cases at least provide a non-shielding characteristic to avoid interfering with the signal transmission or reception. However, it may still be that some watchband materials may provide shielding characteristics and may yet be accommodated by choice of antenna size and/or material, or by choice of antenna driving circuitry.
As for watch considerations, when given no constraints, the dipole antenna would be set for a total length equal to one wavelength and have no surrounding metal or absorbing or shielding material. But in actual application, the surroundings are often constrained by other design choices. A form factor consideration is the size of the watch, and in particular the watchband. For the popular Industrial Scientific Medical unlicensed band of 2400 to 2483 MHz, the wavelength in air is 123 mm (which is about or a little greater than 4.8 inches). This means the length of the antenna may be made to equal or be substantially near to 123 mm or a little more than 4.8 inches in length for use with this wavelength. For a dipole antenna, each portion of the antenna would form half the overall length, thus each would be about 61.5 mm or a little more than 2.4 inches in length. This size of a dipole may fit in the length of a watchband of an ordinary watch (even though, or particularly because the watchband wraps around the wrist).
As for types of antennas, an antenna hereof may be formed from an electromagnetically active material, such as one or more metals. For example, copper, beryllium, gold, or silver or a combination of two or more of these may be used. Combination examples include layering copper and beryllium or using a layer of silver and a layer of gold, sometimes with a core barrier metal layer. The skin depth of a gold or silver antenna may be approximately (˜) 1.6 micrometers at 2.45 GHz. In many implementations, the material of and relative thickness of the antenna will have or provide some flexibility or pliability for conforming the antenna to a user's wrist. Other implementations may involve less flexible or perhaps even non-flexible materials and thicknesses, in which cases, the antenna and band may be pre-configured to fit one or more user's wrists. Moreover, such a dipole antenna may thus provide a classic type of radiation profile, particularly for a non-linear dipole (see
Moreover, an optional further aspect of the presently-described technology may include an automatic or substantially automatic tuning of the antenna. For loop antennas of the state of the art, tuning is typically achieved by electrically controlling the capacitance to resonate the inductance of the antenna. A simplified tuning circuit 900 for a dipole antenna is shown in
As introduced as an alternative above, a set of switchable inductors, as for example, two or more inductors could be switched and less variation tuning capacitance thus needed to allow even better sensitivity but the cost of the final unit would increase. Three such inductors (L1, L2 and L3) are shown in a set 1002 in the circuit of 1000
For such an implementation, a MEMS (micro electromechanical system) switch may be used to make the switching between inductors because the making of a solid connection, or a good electrical contact between paths to inductors, i.e., shorting out or interrupts the path that goes to an inductor (particularly, a high Q inductor) is difficult with integrated circuit or CMOS switches. Moreover, the inductors would likely be more optimally operational if put at right angles to each other so they would not interfere with each other. Such an orientation could be more optimum so as to more completely tune with inductors that would be better than tuning with variable capacitors which may have a little more loss associated therewith.
Moreover, an oscillating member 1005 may be used to power the automatic tuning of the circuit 1000 (such a device could also be used in the circuit 900 of
The result is as described herein an antenna which is attachable to or enclosable within an electronic device band externally of the device, yet nevertheless providing the electronic device with wireless communications abilities for communications with computers, laptops, cell phones, headsets or the like, as for example, by FM or Bluetooth communications. With computers, for example, electronic file(s) may be transferred through the air wirelessly, and perhaps automatically when in Bluetooth range. Music listening options may be enhanced with Bluetooth communications of songs on a watch or the like to a headset. Health and/or exercise-related devices such as those for monitoring physical signs (respiration, heart rate, etc.) may be enhanced by wireless communications to a computing-enabled watch hereof or the like. Other smart personal objects or personal artifacts may also communicate herewith as well.
The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the structure and use of example implementations of the presently-described technology. Although various implementations of this technology have been described above with a certain degree of particularity, or with reference to one or more individual implementations, those skilled in the art could make numerous alterations to the disclosed implementations without departing from the spirit or scope of the technology hereof. Since many implementations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the presently described technology, the appropriate scope resides in the claims hereinafter appended. In particular, it should be understood that the described technology may be employed independent of a watch, a computer or like deceives. Other implementations are therefore contemplated. Furthermore, it should be understood that any operations may be performed in any order, unless explicitly claimed otherwise or a specific order is inherently necessitated by the claim language. It is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative only of particular implementations and not limiting. Changes in detail or structure may be made without departing from the basic elements of the present technology as defined in the following claims.
