The latest waterproofing-related patent, was filed this morning, and was developed by Kind Code’s Lee Sung Chang. The patent, titled “Electronic Devices With Housing Port Shutters”, describes an active method of waterproofing that involves internal shields, or shutters, designed to block liquids and particles from ingress, using a combination of sensors and actuators, the former of which is used to detect proximity of liquids or other airborne particles. Upon detection, the latter actuators will trigger port shutters, actively sealing the device.
