  • Patent number: 12775210
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for fabricating a straight or slanted surface-relief grating with a uniform or non-uniform grating depth. According to certain embodiments, a gray-tone photoresist includes a novolac resin, a diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) dissolution inhibitor, and one or more crosslinking agents for crosslinking the novolac resin at an elevated temperature to increase a glass transition temperature of the gray-tone photoresist and/or lower an etch rate of the gray-tone photoresist. After gray-tone photo exposure and development, the gray-tone photoresist is baked at the elevated temperature to crosslink. The crosslinked gray-tone photoresist has a higher density and a higher glass transition temperature, and thus would not become flowable to cause ripples or other surface roughness during the etching.

  • Patent number: 12777278
    Abstract: A speaker system includes a fixed frame, a voice coil and a first moving mass that includes a diaphragm. The first moving mass is coupled to the fixed frame via a non-rigid primary suspension and coupled to the voice coil. The speaker system further includes a second moving mass that includes a motor assembly and is coupled to the fixed frame via a non-rigid secondary suspension. The diaphragm is configured to move in response to an audio drive signal, applied via the motor assembly, which asserts a force on the voice coil. A first force, on the motor assembly caused by applying the audio drive signal and pushing the voice coil, is canceled by a second force on the moving motor assembly from the non-rigid secondary suspension.

  • Patent number: 12768655
    Abstract: An artificial reality system receives information identifying a physical object and location information describing a geographical location associated with the artificial reality system, in which the information identifying the physical object includes a trackable feature associated with the physical object. Upon receiving a request from a user to locate the physical object, the artificial reality system determines a most recent geographical location associated with the physical object based at least in part on the trackable feature and the location information. The artificial reality system then communicates a set of spatial audio cues to the user, in which the set of spatial audio cues guides the user to the most recent geographical location associated with the physical object.

  • Patent number: RE51087
    Abstract: A virtual reality system including a garment worn by a user, such as a glove, includes a jamming that jams movement of a portion of the user's body by increasing a rigidity of certain portions of the garment or by preventing a certain portion of the garment from expanding past a certain length. This allows the garment to simulate the physical sensation that occurs when the user touches an object. For example, to simulate the sensation of holding a coffee mug, the jamming mechanism prevents the user's fingers from curling after the user's fingers have reached a position equivalent to making physical contact with the coffee mug.
