  • Publication number: 20250022392
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have an inner display that displays images for a user and an outer display that informs nearby people of the status of the user and inner display. For example, the outer display may display an image of a face, an abstract layer, or both, depending on whether the inner display is operating in passthrough mode, mixed reality mode, or virtual reality mode. An ambient light sensor in the head-mounted device may be used to measure the brightness and color of ambient light. The white point of the face layer on the outer display may be adapted to the color of ambient light, whereas the white point of the abstract layer on the outer display may remain fixed. The white point of a display may be a correlated color temperature setting (e.g., measured in degrees Kelvin) that determines the warmth or coolness of displayed colors.

  • Publication number: 20240426709
    Abstract: A wheel detachment monitoring and detection device is to be installed on a vehicle wheel. The wheel detachment monitoring and detection device includes a washer, a housing, a detachment detection module, and a power source. The washer defines a through hole for a fastening member to pass and fix the washer, and has an engaging portion partially covered by the fastening member. The housing gets engaged with the engaging portion and accommodates the detachment detection module. The detachment detection module has a pressure sensing portion that is pressed by the fastening member to press against the vehicle wheel, and detects a pressing force acting thereon. When the pressure sensing portion detects that the pressing force disappears, the detachment detection module sends out a warning signal. The wheel detachment monitoring and detection device ensures attachment of the vehicle wheel by monitoring looseness of the fastening member.
