  • Patent number: 11914225
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a hinge feed antenna of eyewear, are disclosed. One apparatus includes a front frame, a temple arm, and a hinge rotatably connecting the front frame and the temple arm. For an embodiment, the temple arm includes a circuit assembly including at least a radio. For an embodiment, the front frame includes one or more antennas traces, wherein the hinge conductively connects the circuit assembly to the one or more antenna traces. The apparatus further includes an antenna tuner located between the circuit assembly and the hinge, wherein a rotation position of the temple arm is sensed, wherein the rotation position is dependent on an orientation of the front frame relative to the temple arm; and wherein the antenna tuner includes an impedance tuner for adaptively adjusting an input impedance of the impedance tuner based on the sensed rotation position of temple arm.

  • Patent number: 11249521
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for touch pad sensors that are further operative as antennas, are disclosed. One apparatus includes a plurality of touch sensors, a controller, and a radio. The controller is operative to receive sensed signals of the plurality of touch sensors, and provide controls of the apparatus in response to the receive sensed signals of the plurality of touch sensors. The radio is operative to wirelessly communicate with an external wireless device. One or more conductive lines electrically connect the radio with one or more of the plurality of touch sensors, wherein the plurality of touch sensors operate as one or more antennas for facilitating the wireless communication.

  • Publication number: 20070261613
    Abstract: A system includes a board having opposing surfaces and at least one leg connected to one surface of the board through a first pivotable fitting to allow the board and the leg to move between a first position wherein the board and the leg are substantially parallel and a second position wherein the board and the leg are substantially perpendicular. The system also includes a locking mechanism secured to the board through a second pivotable fitting at a first end and configured to rotate at a second end opposite the first end between a storage position extending parallel with the board and a work position extending perpendicular to the board.
