Patent number: 8708483Abstract: The present invention generally relates to integrating electronic components into an electro-active frame for driving electro-active focusing lenses. This is accomplished in a cosmetically pleasing manner that allows a platform of frame systems to be built from a single electronic module. Specifically, the present invention discloses controlling an electro-active lens in a deliberate, hands free manner that gives the user control of the electro-active lens.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2012Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: PixelOptics, Inc.Inventors: William Kokonaski, Ronald D. Blum, Tiziano Tabacchi, Martin Boch, Massimo Pinazza, Scott N. Richman, Volkan Ozguz, Joshua N. Haddock

Patent number: 7656509Abstract: Several devices for determining a distance of an object a user of an electro-active lens is looking at are presented. Once the distance is determined, the devices may alter the optical power of the electro-active lens to ensure that the object is correctly focused. Optical range finding is a possible means for carrying out this task. An active rangefinder may emit optical radiation from a transmitter directed at the object. The optical radiation may then be reflected off the object. The reflected optical radiation may then be received with an appropriate receiver. The received optical radiation may then be processed by appropriate circuitry to determine a distance to the object. A passive rangefinder works without a transmitter. Instead, an appropriate receiver receives ambient sources of light from the object. The received light may then be processed by appropriate circuitry to determine a distance to the object.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2007Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: PixelOptics, Inc.Inventors: Joshua N. Haddock, William Kokonaski, Dwight P. Duston, Ronald D. Blum, Scott N. Richman
