  • Patent number: 10151928
    Abstract: A rotary smart glasses include a neck band configured to bear electronic components and control means, a spectacles comprising a fixed frame and a movable frame with near-eye displays, a flexible adapter comprising two wires connecting the spectacles and the neck band, wherein the movable frame is secured to the fixed frame by a multi-lever mechanism and is configured to be lifted up relative to the fixed frame and simultaneously to be rotated about its longitudinal axis owing to hinges located in points of securing the levers to the frames. The invention allows lifting near-eye displays over the user's forehead preventing contact between the inner surface of the displays and the forehead, and thus avoiding contamination of the displays. The neck band allows use of more powerful hardware, extra batteries, and/or a microphone array.

  • Patent number: 10067359
    Abstract: Rotary eyeglasses comprise a fixed frame bearing a nose abutment and means for holding the eyeglasses on the head, and a movable frame comprising optical members in front of the eyes, when the eyeglasses are in an operational position, wherein the movable frame is secured to the fixed frame by a multi-lever mechanism and is configured to be lifted up relative to the fixed frame and simultaneously to be rotated about its longitudinal axis owing to hinges located in points of securing the levers to the frames. The invention may be used in eyeglasses having positive lenses including reading eyeglasses, and also in protective eyeglasses of different types including sunglasses. The invention allows lifting lenses over the user's forehead, and thus facilitates looking either through lenses or beside lenses, and allows preventing contact between the inner surface of the lenses and the forehead, and thus avoiding contamination of the lenses.

  • Patent number: 9812116
    Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes a neck-wearable housing, generally U-shaped, with an electrical connector; two in-ear earphones; two cords, with one end connected to one of the earphones and the other end connected to the connector. The two cords are mechanically connected to the housing. Points of connection of the cords to the housing are close to each other and form a dorsal node, and the two cords are mechanically connected to each other in their portions between the in-ear earphones and the dorsal node to form a suboccipital node. A microphone is placed in the housing on a front (chest) side of the user. A microphone is placed in the dorsal and/or in the suboccipital node. The microphones are used for determination of correlated and non-correlated components of audio signals. The correlated components are treated as a noise signal and the non-correlated components are a target signal.
