  • Publication number: 20240126364
    Abstract: A display-enabled eyewear device has an integrated head sensor that dynamically and continuously measures or detects various cephalic parameters of a wearer's head. The head sensor includes a loop coupler system integrated in a lens-carrying frame to sense proximate ambient RF absorption influenced by head presence, size, and/or distance. Autonomous device management dynamically adjust or cause adjustment of selected device features based on current detected values for the cephalic parameters, which can include wear status, head size, and frame-head spacing.

  • Publication number: 20240055763
    Abstract: Eyewear including a dipole antenna having a first leg and a second leg, wherein the first leg includes at least a portion of a battery, such as a conductive case of the battery. An antenna feed is coupled to the dipole antenna between the second leg and the battery. The second leg may comprise a flexible printed circuit (FPC), and the second leg is an active leg. The second leg has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion may have the same physical length. The first portion may be dielectrically loaded with a high permittivity loaded material, and the second portion may be dielectrically loaded with a low permittivity loaded material.

  • Publication number: 20220357577
    Abstract: A method of dissipating heat generated by imaging devices and processing devices of a wearable electronic eyewear device includes providing a first heat sink thermally connecting the imaging devices to a frame of the eyewear device to sink heat to the frame and providing a second heat sink thermally connecting the processing devices to respective temples of the eyewear device to sink heat to the respective temples. The first and second heat sinks are thermally insulated from each other to direct the heat to different portions of the eyewear device. The processing devices may include a first co-processor disposed in a first temple connected to a first end of the frame and a second co-processor disposed in a second temple connected to a second end of the frame. The resulting eyewear device spreads the heat from heat generating devices over a larger area to minimize overall heating.

  • Publication number: 20220320718
    Abstract: An antenna that is coupled to and integrated with a projector, such as a projector included with smart glasses including eyewear. The projector has a housing and includes optical components configured to display an image. At least one antenna is coupled to the projector, wherein the optical components operate and function as an antenna substrate. The optical components are nonmetallic such that the antenna generates a strong E-field. The antenna may be coupled to the projector housing, such as on the inside or the outside surface of the housing. Multiple antennas can be included to generate multiple resonances simultaneously in different frequency bands.
