Patent number: 11550167Abstract: Ophthalmic devices and ophthalmic systems including alignment sidewalls and blend zones disposed therethrough are described. An example ophthalmic device may include a first and a second optical element having alignment sidewalls shaped to cooperatively couple. The alignment sidewall may include blend zones disposed in the sidewall shaped to transition the sidewall from a ridge to a surface of an optic zone of the optical element. The alignment sidewalls may define a cavity disposed between two coupled optical elements when the alignment sidewalls are cooperatively coupled into which a liquid crystal may be disposed. A method of assembling an ophthalmic device is described. An example method may include aligning a blend zone of a first optical element with a mating blend zone of a second optical element. The example method may further include cooperatively coupling alignment sidewalls of the first optical element and the second optical element.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Jeremy Emken, Scott Kennedy, Kristopher Lavery

Patent number: 10449037Abstract: A flexible intraocular lens including a flexible, transparent conductor disposed on a sidewall is disclosed herein. An example flexible intraocular lens includes an annular body and a transparent and flexible conductor. The annular body having at least one inner surface, where the annular body is formed from a flexible biocompatible material amenable to implantation into an eye. The transparent and flexible conductor formed on the at least one inner surface, the transparent and flexible conductor being one of a conductive polymer or a conductive nanowire-based mesh.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Daniel B.

Patent number: 9678329Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for provided masked structures on an embossed substrate. In one aspect, these masked structures may be reflected facets for use as part of a frontlight film. In another aspect, these masked structures may be masked wiring for use as part of a capacitive touchscreen array. In one aspect, the structures may have a discrete mask formed thereon, while in other aspects, these structures may have self-masking attributes, and may include an interferometric black mask.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM Inc.Inventors: Robert L Holman, Kristopher A Lavery, Ming-Hau Tung

Publication number: 20140085317Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing a transparent multilayer structure having electrical connections between conductive components disposed throughout the structure. In one aspect, a thin transparent conductive adhesive is used to provide electrical connections between layers. These electrical connections can be made throughout the multilayer structure, even in portions of the structure that overlie a display in a display device, reducing the overall footprint of a display device including such a multilayer structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2012Publication date: March 27, 2014Inventors: Kristopher A. Lavery, David William Burns

Patent number: 8410690Abstract: Systems and methods for providing MEMS devices with integrated desiccant are provided. In one embodiment, a dry composition comprising desiccant is impact sprayed onto the backplate or substrate of a MEMS device, and becomes fused with the substrate. In another embodiment, the desiccant is impact sprayed such that the desiccant adheres to the impact sprayed surface. In yet another embodiment, the impact-sprayed surface is impregnated with the desiccant. In still another embodiment, the desiccant is combined with a suitable inorganic binder, then impact sprayed such that the desiccant adheres to the impact sprayed surface. In yet a further embodiment, the desiccant is micronized or pulverized into a powder of desired particle size, and then impact sprayed onto a surface. Thus, the desiccant particles or powder are fused onto the target surface through the impact spraying process.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bangalore R.

Publication number: 20120235970Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and for providing a desiccant in a MEMS package. A MEMS device may be packaged with a desiccant to provide a moisture-free environment. In order to avoid undesirable effects on the MEMS device, the desiccant may be selected or treated so as to be compatible with a particular MEMS device, for instance, a very thin profile may be desired. A method for covalently bonding zeolite crystals with a substrate is provided such that a layer of zeolite crystals is covalently attached to a substrate surface of the MEMS device package. This bonding includes a change in the chemical structure of the zeolite such that is chemically adhered to the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2011Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kristopher A. Lavery, Bangalore R. Natarajan
