Publication number: 20210407109Abstract: A model for visual product identification uses object detection with machine learning. Image acquisition with augmented reality can improve the model's identification, which may include classifying those images that is further verified with machine learning. Usage of the visual product identification data can further improve the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: Maui Jim, Inc.Inventors: Quentin T. Young, James Raymond Ferolo, Chad E. Udell, Steve Richey

Patent number: 9671622Abstract: The presently presented inventive lens will provide an eyeglasses/sunglasses wearer with improved perceptions of color saturation and optical contrast without requiring any apparent coloration (except gray) in the transmitted tint (although other colors may be used), promoting a sense of heightened accuracy and differentiation in viewed colors while providing full protection from UV. Further, the lenses of the invention provide increased visual acuity, and maximize the visibility of objects partially obscured by fog or atmospheric haze. Lens embodiments having certain spectral-transmission properties as defined herein achieve one or more of these objects, while filtering out (i.e., providing local/relative minima) of certain human-visible light wavelengths in a manner enhancing crisp color perception.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: MAUI JIM, INC.Inventors: Gianni Vetrini, Antje Gawronski, Simon Striepe, Matthias Döch

Patent number: 8556415Abstract: An eyewear system is provided with adjustable nose pads. The nose pads are adjustable by being slidably mounted onto a portion of the nose bridge. This adjustability feature provides for wearer-selected pantoscopic angle adjustment, as well as wearer-selected fit for a particular nose and face shape. The eyewear may include plano or corrective lenses and other features of eyewear including polarized, tinted, and/or other types of lenses and lens-related features.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Maui Jim, Inc.Inventors: Eleanor Wink Zimick Jackson, Michael T. Jackson

Patent number: 8550619Abstract: A removable lens eyewear system is provided that substantially prevents accidental or unintended removal, axial movement, linear movement, and rotational movement of a removable lens relative to an eyewear frame, such as in a side-to-side, up-and-down, back-and-forth, and rotational direction, as well as the unintended disconnection of the removable lens from the eyewear frame, while at the same time providing easy, one-handed operation for the engagement and disengagement of the removable lens from the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Maui Jim, Inc.Inventors: Richard Lee Walker, Jr., Silvano Derudi

Patent number: 7717557Abstract: An improved method is provided for applying an antireflective high contrast coating to a lens, as well as a lens system made with said method. By coating the lenses with a mixture of an oxide and fluoride, the transmission of undesirable visible light wavelengths is reduced, as is the reflection of undesirable light. This combination not only increases perceived sharpness and detail associated with viewing objects through the lenses, but also reduces undesirable reflected glare. Utilization of increased vacuum during the coating process reduces problems of humidity associated with plastic lenses. The combination of oxide and fluoride is controlled to reduce colored tint or hue in the resulting lenses. By imparting little to no color hue to the lenses, the lenses virtually eliminate any undesired color shift associated with prior art lenses.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Maui Jim, Inc.Inventors: Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Masao Yanagihara

Patent number: 7204664Abstract: A method and apparatus for drilling glass using a drill and drill bit. The method utilizes a drill bit having a plurality of shaft diameters, and being provided with a plurality of types of abrasives. By providing a coarser abrasive on a narrow portion of the bit, and finer abrasives on a wider portion of the bit, drilling can be accomplished while reducing the incidents of micro fracture in the glass being drilled. Providing an even narrower connection shaft between the two cutting portions of the drill bit further facilitates reduction in micro fractures created during the drilling process.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Maui Jim, Inc.Inventors: Eiichi Nakanishi, Walter Hester
