The modulation region includes an inhomogeneous arrangement of two or more different materials having different refractive indexes to structure the modulation region to manipulate one or more optical properties of an optical carrier wave in response to a modulation bias. The input port is optically coupled to the modulation region to inject the optical carrier wave into the modulation region. The modulation actuator is disposed proximate to the modulation region and adapted to apply the modulation bias to the modulation region to generate a modulated wave. The modulation bias adjusts at least one of the different refractive indexes of the inhomogeneous arrangement to provide variable control of the one or more optical properties of the optical carrier wave. The output port is optically coupled to the modulation region to receive the modulated wave.
US12271064B2 Eye shield
An eye shield has an attachment device configured to be coupled to an optical device. The attachment device includes a clamping ring that has an open position and a closed position. The eye shield further has a shield coupled to the clamping ring to pivot away and towards the clamping ring, the shield extends laterally from the attachment device and a locking element that is disposed on the clamping ring and configured to lock the clamping ring in the closed position. The locking element has a locked and an unlocked position, and when the locking element is in the locked position the clamping ring is in the closed position.
US12271063B2 Electronic spectacles
A system for the color coding of objects in the field of view of a plurality of spectacle wearers includes a pair of spectacles per spectacle wearer. Liquid crystal cells of at least one spectacle lens of the spectacles are so designed that a transmission of the liquid crystal cells may be switched between high and low transmission states. The system also includes one RGB light source per spectacle wearer and means for controlling or regulating the luminance times, color and intensity of the RGB light source such that the light source for a first spectacle wearer illuminates with a first color at a time of the state of high transmission of the liquid crystal cell and the light source for a second spectacle wearer illuminates at a time of high transmission of the liquid crystal cell of their spectacles with a second color different from the first.
US12271062B1 System for calibrating adjustable lenses
A system for gathering fixation distance calibration data may include eyeglasses with adjustable lenses and an electronic device with a depth sensor. During fixation distance calibration operations, a user wearing the eyeglasses may view the electronic device while the electronic device provides instructions for the user to hold the electronic device at different distances from the user. At each distance, a depth sensor in the electronic device may determine the distance to the eyeglasses and a camera in the eyeglasses may be used to determine a distance between the user's pupils. The calibration measurements may be used to generate calibration data that maps different pupil locations to different fixation distances. The calibration data may be stored in the eyeglasses so that control circuitry in the eyeglasses can determine a user's fixation distance and adjust lens power accordingly without requiring an outward facing depth sensor in the eyeglasses.
