  • Patent number: 11994379
    Abstract: A method for determining a contour of a frame groove in a rim of a spectacle frame includes illuminating the rim, capturing a plurality of images of the illuminated rim from different predetermined perspectives, evaluating the captured images, and determining a spatial curve of the frame groove based on the evaluated images. The rim is illuminated along the entire circumference of the rim by directed illumination. Moreover, the evaluation of the captured images includes assigning each portion contained in the captured images to a respective surface element of the frame groove on the basis of at least one of the following properties: shadowing of the respective portion, brightness of the respective portion and phase angle of the illumination of the respective portion. Moreover, an apparatus, a computer program, a method for grinding a spectacle lens, and a computer-implemented method for determining a geometry of a spectacle lens are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11993290
    Abstract: A vehicle navigation system may comprise a memory including instructions and circuitry configured by the instructions to identify a target vehicle in an environment of a vehicle that includes the vehicle navigation system. The circuitry may receive image data of the target vehicle from an image capture device of the vehicle; identify, based on analysis of the image data, a situational characteristic of the target vehicle including an indication that the target vehicle is traveling behind an additional vehicle traveling slower than the target vehicle; and change a navigational state of the vehicle to allow an action of the target vehicle. The vehicle may be configured to cause the change in the navigational state based on a determination that the situational characteristic indicates that the target vehicle would benefit from the change in the navigational state.

  • Patent number: 11994784
    Abstract: Resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electro-active lens with a relatively small number of buss lines. These resistors are usually large to prevent excessive current consumption. Conventionally, they are disposed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are spaced farther apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But spacing the ring electrodes farther apart or making them discontinuous degrades the lens's optical quality. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator makes it possible for the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous with resistance high enough to limit current consumption. It also relaxes constraints on feature sizes and placement during the process used to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.

  • Patent number: 11995243
    Abstract: A system, such as a head-mounted display (HMD), displays images to a user. The system has an active state and an idle state. The system includes a display device, a beam combiner, and a user-operated control. The display device displays images when the system is in the active state and emits a reduced amount or no light when the system is in the idle state. The beam combiner provides a first optical path for light from an external environment to the user's eye and also provides a second optical path for light emitted from the display device to the user's eye. Responsive to activation by the user, the control switches the system between states that include the active state and the idle state, where the idle state is a default state and the system remains in the active state only while the user-operated control remains activated by the user.

  • Patent number: 11986241
    Abstract: Retinal imaging systems and related methods employ a user specific approach for controlling the reference arm length in an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging device. A method includes generating a signal indicative of a position of a feature of a user's head relative to an OCT imaging device. A user specific reference arm adjustment length range for the user within a reference arm adjustment length range of the OCT device is determined based on the signal. A reference arm length adjustment module is controlled during an imaging of the retina to vary a reference arm length of the OCT imaging device within the user specific reference arm adjustment length range to identify an imaging reference arm length for which an OCT image detector of the OCT imaging device produces an OCT signal corresponding to the retina of the user.
