  • Patent number: 12287488
    Abstract: A headset device may include a facial interface having an inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder may be configured to conform to facial contours of a face of a user when the headset device is worn. In examples, the inflatable bladder may include one or more bladder sections that may be filled with a fluid. In some examples, based in part on receiving an input, a pressure within one or more bladder sections may be adjusted from a first pressure to a second pressure in part by adjusting a volume of fluid within the one or more bladder sections of the inflatable bladder.

  • Publication number: 20250102812
    Abstract: A head-wearable device for presenting an extended reality that includes a lens system, and a facial interface. The facial interface includes a portion configured to be coupled with the lens system via an adjustment mechanism assembly and a facial-interface portion configured to be in contact with a wearer's face. The adjustment mechanism assembly is configured to move the facial-interface portion relative to the lens system which changes a depth between a lens of the lens system and the wearer's face (the eye relief) between: (i) a first depth, configured to accommodate a first facial profile associated with a first wearer and (ii) a second depth, configured to accommodate a second facial profile associated with a second wearer.

  • Publication number: 20240201467
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for eye strain reduction in head mountable displays are disclosed. The system may include an adjustable facial interface bracket and an extender bracket that can be coupled to the head mountable display device. An actuating mechanism may be incorporated to define the spatial distance between the facial interface bracket and the extender bracket. This may allow users to customize the distance between their eyes and the display panel, reducing eye strain and improving the overall comfort of the head mountable display. The system may offer a flexible and user-friendly solution to enhance the user experience and alleviate eye strain in head mountable displays.

  • Patent number: 10631965
    Abstract: A whitening smart pen apparatus (10) for automatically dispensing a teeth whitening substance onto one or more teeth of a user comprises a fluid reservoir (16), a nozzle (18) having an output port (26), a fluid dispenser (20), a sensor (22) and a controller (24). The fluid dispenser dispenses the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir to the nozzle and is output via the output port. The sensor, positioned in an advance dispensing direction of the nozzle, senses a target surface that comprises either (i) a tooth surface (12) or (ii) other surface (14). The controller (24) is configured for (i) controlling a gating of the fluid dispenser (20) to dispense the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir (16) in response to the sensor (22) detecting the tooth surface (12), and (ii) stopping or disabling the gating of the fluid dispenser to stop or disable a dispensing of the teeth whitening substance from the fluid reservoir in response to the sensor (22) detecting the other surface (14).

  • Patent number: 10512529
    Abstract: An oral care appliance (100), such as an electric toothbrush, utilizing non-linear resonant systems is described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, the oral care appliance includes a longitudinal shaft (102), a brush head (130), and a handle (190). The handle includes a motor (140) that generates a first amplitude (404) for the brush head based on the brush head being outside of the user's mouth, when no mass is applied to the brush head. In response to the brush head being inside of the user's mouth, when mass is applied, such as by pressing the brush head against the teeth, the motor causes a second amplitude (410) to be generated for the brush head that is larger than the first amplitude.
