Publication number: 20150248026Abstract: Eyewear including an optical functional member, control electronics, and a sealed electrical connective element connecting the electronics to the optical functional member. The connective element can directly connect the electronics to the optical functional member, or can connect through an intermediate contact, e.g., a plug-and-receptacle. The connective element can be routed from the electronics, around a rimlock of the eyewear to the optical functional member. The connective element can be a conductive compressible member, such as conductive rubber. In some embodiments, the connective element can be a multiconductor cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2015Publication date: September 3, 2015Applicant: MITSUI CHEMICALS, INC.Inventors: Charles WILLEY, Joshua HADDOCK, Mark GRAHAM, Claudio DALLA LONGA, Ronald BLUM, William KOKANASKI
