Patent number: 11981490Abstract: A system for moving and transporting cargo, such as bundled cores and tubes, that doesn't require wheeled carts. The system may comprise a forklift truck, a front engagement device connecting the cargo to the forklift truck, a rear roller unit, and one or more spaced apart bottom supports. When the forklift forks are in the raised position, the cargo front (leading) end is tilted above the cargo rear (trailing) end and the bottom supports are disengaged from the floor, allowing the cargo to be moved.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Sonoco Development, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Manly Kelley, Neil Roland Davis, David E. Rhodes

Patent number: 11940639Abstract: In some implementations, an optical device includes a one-way mirror formed by a polarization selective mirror and an absorptive polarizer. The absorptive polarizer has a transmission axis aligned with the transmission axis of the reflective polarizer. The one-way mirror may be provided on the world side of a head-mounted display system. Advantageously, the one-way mirror may reflect light from the world, which provides privacy and may improve the cosmetics of the display. In some implementations, the one-way mirror may include one or more of a depolarizer and a pair of opposing waveplates to improve alignment tolerances and reduce reflections to a viewer. In some implementations, the one-way mirror may form a compact integrated structure with a dimmer for reducing light transmitted to the viewer from the world.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Magic leap, Inc.Inventors: Chulwoo Oh, Ravi Kumar Komanduri, David Kleinman, Vaibhav Mathur, David Manly

Publication number: 20230324744Abstract: Disclosed are dimming assemblies and display systems for reducing artifacts produced by optically-transmissive displays. A system may include a substrate upon which a plurality of electronic components are disposed. The electronic components may include a plurality of pixels, a plurality of conductors, and a plurality of circuit modules. The plurality of pixels may be arranged in a two-dimensional array, with each pixel having a two-dimensional geometry corresponding to a shape with at least one curved side. The plurality of conductors may be arranged adjacent to the plurality of pixels. The system may also include control circuitry electrically coupled to the plurality of conductors. The control circuitry may be configured to apply electrical signals to the plurality of circuit modules by way of the plurality of conductors.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Ian Russell, Jahja I.

Publication number: 20230314825Abstract: A wearable display system includes an eyepiece stack having a world side and a user side opposite the world side, wherein during use a user positioned on the user side views displayed images delivered by the system via the eyepiece stack which augment the user’s view of the user’s environment. The wearable display system also includes an angularly selective film arranged on the world side of the of the eyepiece stack. The angularly selective film includes a polarization adjusting film arranged between pair of linear polarizers. The linear polarizers and polarization adjusting film significantly reduces transmission of visible light incident on the angularly selective film at large angles of incidence without significantly reducing transmission of light incident on the angularly selective film at small angles of incidence.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: David Manly, Kevin Messer, Vaibhav Mathur, Clinton Carlisle

Publication number: 20230296904Abstract: In some embodiments, an augmented reality system includes at least one waveguide that is configured to receive and redirect light toward a user, and is further configured to allow ambient light from an environment of the user to pass therethrough toward the user. The augmented reality system also includes a first adaptive lens assembly positioned between the at least one waveguide and the environment, a second adaptive lens assembly positioned between the at least one waveguide and the user, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the first and second adaptive lens assemblies. Each lens assembly of the augmented reality system is selectively switchable between at least two different states in which the respective lens assembly is configured to impart at least two different optical powers to light passing therethrough, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Jason Schaefer, Hui-Chuan Cheng, David Manly, Jahja I.

Publication number: 20230267677Abstract: Techniques are described for operating an optical system. In some embodiments, light associated with a world object is received at the optical system. Virtual image light is projected onto an eyepiece of the optical system. A portion of a system field of view of the optical system to be at least partially dimmed is determined based on information detected by the optical system. A plurality of spatially-resolved dimming values for the portion of the system field of view may be determined based on the detected information. The detected information may include light information, gaze information, and/or image information. A dimmer of the optical system may be adjusted to reduce an intensity of light associated with the world object in the portion of the system field of view according to the plurality of dimming values.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Vaibhav Mathur, David Manly, Jahja I.
