  • Patent number: 10537796
    Abstract: An apparatus for viewing virtual reality content is discussed in the present application. The apparatus may include a collapsible body and a pair of collapsible hood elements that are coupled to the body. The body may include a pair of lenses. Each of the hood elements may be collapsible into or onto the body. In a collapsed configuration of the apparatus, the hood elements may be collapsed into or onto the body, and a combined body structure that includes the body and the collapsed hood elements may be collapsed into or onto itself.

  • Patent number: 10256360
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to graphic layers comprising visible images and/or patterns and related methods for incorporation of graphic layers into solar modules. In some embodiments, a photovoltaic module comprises the graphic layer (e.g., to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the photovoltaic module). In certain embodiments, the graphic layer comprises a plurality of isolated regions (e.g., substantially opaque isolated regions) and a contiguous region (e.g., a substantially transparent contiguous region). The isolated regions may comprise, in some cases, a base layer and an image layer. The plurality of isolated regions may form a recognizable image or pattern.
