Title: Introduction (40 kB PDF)
Title: Selecting Sensors for Wearables (3.8 MB PDF)
Abstract: The trend in wearables is increasing at an incredible pace as people look to both leverage and augment the advances brought by the Smartphone Revolution. There are many similarities in the sensors and applications used in smartphones and wearables. But there are also substantial differences which will need to be addressed by both wearable and sensor manufacturers. This session covers a number of sensors applicable to the wearable market as well as discussing some of the challenges and solutions for designers and manufacturers.
Biography: Dr. John M. Chong, PhD is Vice President, Product and Business Development at Kionix. He is responsible for productizing and supporting Kionix's growing portfolio of sensors, and for developing new business opportunities. Previously he was Director of Product Engineering and was also responsible for developing the Manufacturing Test capabilities for Kionix's accelerometer products as production increased tenfold to 100M units/yr. Before joining Kionix in 2006, Dr. Chong worked for Calient Networks, a company focused on using MEMS to support increased bandwidth through the automated management of fiber optic networks. He completed his B.S. ('93) and his Ph.D. ('99) in Electrical Engineering at Cornell University, where he worked on novel techniques for the design and manufacturing of MEMS.
Title: A Balancing Act: CPU Selection in Wearable Device Design (800 kB PDF)
Abstract: The number of use cases that fit within the 'wearables' category are diverse. At the low-end are M2M devices and sensors which do not require user interaction. At the high end, devices like smart glasses feature not only deep user interaction, but also a broad range of features and applications. A common design challenge across these devices is meeting a constrained power envelope within a tiny form factor. It's critical to the creation of a useful wearable device that designers make optimum design choices that balance power, form factor and performance. This session will cover tradeoffs between performance, CPU feature sets and emerging software standards that impact SoC architecture for wearable devices.

Min holds degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California.
Title: How Wearable Electronics intersect with the Cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT)? (3.2 MB PDF)
Abstract: Wearable, Cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) are the hottest technology markets in the recent years. According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Wearable Technology Market - Global Scenario, Trends, Industry Analysis, Size, Share and Forecast, 2012- 2018" the global wearable technology market is expected to grow from USD 750.0 million in 2012 to USD 5.8 billion in 2018. This talk will highlight the greater impact of wearable devices when use in conjunction with the Cloud and IoT devices.

Title: Survey of Energy Sources (2 MB PDF)
Abstract: The recent materials innovation across different field of technology almost make major break through possible to many technical barriers we are facing to make really thin and small form factor wearable or IoT devices. Major obstacle is always battery. How big the battery pack size usually determines the form factor. Three major fields of developing more efficient battery will be presented including super capacity, energy harvesting and thin film battery.

Based on nanofiber materials mass produced from the patented e-Hybrid technology will serve as the novel materials indispensable to many cutting edge devices and most non-solid electronic equipment getting ground thanks to wearable technology.
Title: Security Strategies for Wearables (200 kB PDF)
Abstract: Wearables
are
quickly
gaining
traction,
as
the
tech
community
has
embraced
what
may
be
possible.
Concepts
are
being
proven
for
increasingly
integrated
use
cases
and
the
rumor
mill
has
already
begun
to
churn
out
buzz
about
the
future
of
implantable
devices.
The
need
for
security
and
privacy
is
paramount,
as
they
collect,
process,
and
archive
more
and
more
vital
and
personal
information.
Our
biggest
problem?
It
simply
isn't
easy
to
design
robust
security
with
such
constrained
space
requirements.
We
have
a
running
start,
building
on
our
success
with
smartphones
and
tablets,
but
the
challenge
is
taken
one
step
further
with
today's
tiny
but
surprisingly
powerful
wearables.
In
this
session,
SafeLogic
CEO
Ray
Potter
will
discuss
the
technical
difficulties
faced
by
security
innovators
in
the
wearables
space
and
how
they
can
be
addressed
--
now
and
in
the
future.

Title: Wearables Market Survey (1.4 MB PDF)
Abstract: Wearable technology is only successful if the user wears it! So much of the technologies pushed into wearable devices today is based on what COULD be included for a given BOM cost rather than what SHOULD be included to delight consumers. Dr. John Feland will pull case studies from the early successes and failures of wearable products within the consumer markets using the predictive tools and methods developed at Argus Insights. Based on the insights gleaned from millions of consumer-generated breadcrumbs in social media, John will extract what are the essential elements to successful Wearable UX design, highlight existing barriers to broader adoption of wearables and share detailed results of who is winning the current fight for Wearable success and why.
