  • Patent number: 11644691
    Abstract: A device for attaching a jewel or ornament to a hinge of a pair of eyeglasses having a threaded shank portion compatible with an eyeglass hinge threaded hole, a crown disposed at a top end of the threaded shank portion, and a drive tool receiver, such as a slot or crosspoint, disposed at the bottom end of the threaded shank portion. The device is installed into a threaded hole in a hinge by turning it with a tool which is inserted into the bottom of the hinge and rotating in an opposite direction of normal screw installation, thereby leaving the crown portion at the top of the screw available to hold a jewel or ornament while avoiding placing possible damaging torque and force on the jewel or ornament.

  • Patent number: 11635638
    Abstract: A device and method of making the device is described. In some implementations, an eyeglass lens is colored so that it is semi-opaque or opaque and approximates the color of a particular user's skin. In an example, the lens can be colored by placing an adhesive material on the front or rear surface of the lens. In an additional or alternative example, the lens can be colored by dyeing the lens material. In an additional or alternative example, the lens can be colored by painting the lens material. The colored lens blocks the view of passersby of the ocular region of the wearer and is itself inconspicuous because the approximate skin color camouflages its presence.

  • Patent number: 11630328
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to sunglasses with clear bifocals. The sunglasses with clear bifocals may comprise a pair of sunglasses having bifocal lenses that provide far distance correction through the top of the bifocal lenses and near distance correction through the bottom of the bifocal lenses. A portion of the bifocal lenses providing the far distance correction may be tinted to block sunlight and a portion of the bifocal lenses providing the near distance correction may be clear. As a non-limiting example, the pair of sunglasses may provide protection from bright sunlight while driving without interfering with the ability to read the instrument panel which is less brightly lit.

  • Patent number: 11614623
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing a visual examination are provided. A diagnostic module configured to execute on a first computing device communicatively coupled to a head mounted holographic display device worn by a user renders a virtual arrangement displayed within the head mounted holographic display device at an initial simulated distance away from the user. Within the virtual arrangement is an imbedded pattern. A second computing device receives, from leads attached to the user, brain waves of the user. The second computing device displays a visual evoked potential within the brain waves. The visual evoked potential comprises an indication that the user visually identified the imbedded pattern at a second simulated distance away from the user. The visual evoked potential occurs at a focal length of a refractive error of an eye of the user.

  • Patent number: 11592722
    Abstract: Conventional electrochromic devices frequently suffer from poor reliability and poor performance. Improvements are made using entirely solid and inorganic materials. Electrochromic devices are fabricated by forming an ion conducting electronically-insulating interfacial region that serves as an IC layer. In some methods, the interfacial region is formed after formation of an electrochromic and a counter electrode layer. The interfacial region contains an ion conducting electronically-insulating material along with components of the electrochromic and/or the counter electrode layer. Materials and microstructure of the electrochromic devices provide improvements in performance and reliability over conventional devices. In various embodiments, a counter electrode is fabricated to include a base anodically coloring material and one or more additives.
