Patent number: 9757056Abstract: Example eye-mountable devices and methods for fabricating eye-mountable devices are described. A method may involve forming a first polymer layer, which defines an anterior side of the eye-mountable device and is configured to allow an analyte to diffuse therethrough. Further, the method may involve positioning a sensor apparatus on the first polymer layer, wherein the sensor apparatus comprises at least one sensor configured to detect the analyte, and wherein the at least one sensor is oriented relative to the first polymer layer to receive the analyte via diffusion through the first polymer layer. The sensor apparatus may have a height dimension of at least 50 micrometers. Still further, the method may involve forming a second polymer layer over the first polymer layer and the sensor apparatus, such that the sensor apparatus is fully enclosed by the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Michael Kubba, Jeffrey George Linhardt

Patent number: 9696564Abstract: Contact lenses having embedded polymer layers, and methods for forming the same are provided. In some aspects, the contact lens can include: a substrate; a metal portion coupled to the substrate; and a polymer layer attached to the substrate and the metal portion, wherein the polymer layer has one or more indentations. The metal portion can be associated with or a part of a power supply, antenna and/or circuit in various aspects. In some aspects, the substrate can encapsulate the metal portion and the polymer layer. In some aspects, a method can include: forming a metal ring; fabricating one or more components on the metal ring; forming a polymer layer ring having indentations; providing the metal ring and the polymer layer ring in a contact lens mold; and encapsulating the contact lens mold with conventional hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, silicone elastomer, polyacrylamide, siloxane-based hydrogel or fluorosiloxane-based hydrogel.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2012Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: James Etzkorn, Babak Amirparviz, Michael Kubba

Patent number: 9529198Abstract: Opto-mechanical systems, methods of assembly, and devices utilizing opto-mechanical systems are disclosed. One example opto-mechanical system includes an optics housing; an optics display; and a display module. The optics display can extend away from a first open end of the optics housing to display images to a user. A display module is positioned adjacent a second open end of the optics housing. The display module may be constructed and arranged to project images onto the optics display. The display module further comprises a display module housing, as well as module displays that are positioned within the display module housing. The optics housing may be constructed and arranged to join the display module to the optics housing. The display module can be positioned within the optics housing and is spaced a predetermined distance away from the first surface of the optics display.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: John Stuart Fitch, Michael Kubba, Peter Michael Cazalet

Patent number: 9210494Abstract: This disclosure relates to bone conduction. One disclosed apparatus includes a support structure and a bone-conduction transducer (BCT). The support structure includes a front section and a side section. The side section includes a recessed structure and at least one member that extends from the recessed structure. The BCT includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is in contact with the at least one member such that at least one gap is defined between the BCT and the recessed structure. When the support structure is worn, the second portion is in contact with a wearer so as to transmit a target vibration of the second portion to a bone structure of the wearer. The at least one member is configured to transmit a vibration of the first portion of the BCT to the recessed structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Michael Kubba
