Publication number: 20240418919Abstract: The present invention relates to a polarization filter for ophthalmic lenses. The polarization filter comprises a mesogen layer coated onto a retardation film, either directly or through an adhesive layer. The present invention further discloses that the polarization filter formed by employing a thin film or sheet, having a defined level of retardation between the light source and the mesogen layer, for example, a cholesteric mesogen layer, the multilayered laminate structure demonstrates linear polarization of the light transmitted through the mesogen laminate structure, and, hence, can be used in ophthalmic lenses, e.g. spectacle or eyeglass lenses. The polarization filter enhances the performance by allowing transmission of the polarization filter closer to the theoretical maximum transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: HOYA Optical Labs of America, Inc.Inventors: James Mulligan, Michael Boulineau, Jeffrey Brown, Jared Johnson, Michael Marshall, Sandy Goebel, Joseph Leaman

Patent number: 12168822Abstract: An apparatus and method for continuous operation for the production of conductors that include twisted or stranded wires or filaments includes supply payoff for providing a plurality of strands that have been work hardened. The wires or strands are annealed in line with the payoff and subsequently cooled by a chiller in line with the annealer for cooling the annealed strands output from the annealer to a predetermined temperature. A strander in line with the annealer and cooler or chiller is provided for imparting at least one twist to the annealed and cooled strands. Speed control, for example a dancer, is provided in line between the cooler and the strander for adjusting and controlling the speed or velocity of the strands moving along the line to maintain a speed compatible with the take up speed of the strander. The predetermined temperature is selected to be the ambient operating temperature of the strander for copper or aluminum cable.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: ROTEQ MACHINERY INC.Inventor: Michael Marshall

Publication number: 20240376582Abstract: An apparatus and method for continuous operation for the production of conductors that include twisted or stranded wires or filaments includes supply payoff for providing a plurality of strands that have been work hardened. The wires or strands are annealed in line with the payoff and subsequently cooled by a chiller in line with the annealer for cooling the annealed strands output from the annealer to a predetermined temperature. A dancer between the supply payoff and the annealer ensures the speed at the output of the payoff is matched to the intake speed of the annealer. A strander in line with the annealer and cooler or chiller is provided for imparting at least one twist to the annealed and cooled strands. Speed control, for example an additional dancer, is provided in line between the cooler and the strander for adjusting and controlling the speed or velocity of the strands moving along the line to maintain a speed compatible with the take up speed of the strander.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: ROTEQ MACHINERY INC.Inventor: Michael Marshall

Publication number: 20240359031Abstract: A light emitting ophthalmic lens in which a light source is incorporated into a lens. The light source may be configured to emit light within a specific wavelength, such as but not limited to a blue light having a wavelength of about 470 nanometers. The ophthalmic lens may include one or more light guiding elements for directing the light emitted from the light source onto a desired region of an eye, such as the outer areas of the retina. The light source may be attached to the ophthalmic lens or may be integrated therewith. The one or more light guiding elements may be configured to reflect, diffuse, disperse, defocus, and/or diffract the light from the light source towards the eye. A control unit may both power the light source and allow for programming various functions of the light source.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: HOYA Optical Labs of America, Inc.Inventors: Michael Marshall, Suvagata Tripathy, Joshua Miller, Jeffrey Brown, Griffith Altmann

Patent number: 12094303Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods of revealing portions of outcomes of real-world wagers through interactive media by storing reserve wagers, receiving an indication a first token has been acquired by a user, determining a tracking wager associated with the first token, matching a stored reserve wager with the tracking wager, associating the matched reserve wager with the first token, and revealing at least a portion of the outcome of the matched reserve wager to the user by the user's interaction with the interactive media. By integrating real-world wager outcomes with user interactions, the system may provide an engaging user experience with interactive media. For example, a game may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager (which has already occurred), in response to in-game actions such as user actions in the game, other players' actions, game events, and/or other events.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Game Play Network, Inc.Inventors: Russell Marc Fine, Jamison Todd Selby, Robert John Siemasko, David Michael Marshall, Scott Alan Solomon

Publication number: 20240148599Abstract: A device may create an optical obstruction such as a haze for a predetermined amount of time in front of one or more eyes of the user and thereby trigger a blink response in the user. The device may include a lens having a plurality of layers and a sensor configured to detect a blink it at least one eye. At least one of the plurality of layers may include an electrodynamic layer in communication with the sensor. The electrodynamic layer may be configured to adjust the lens from a first state to a second state in response to a first signal from the sensor and from the second state back to the first state in response to a second signal from the sensor. The second state may include an at least partial obstruction of vision through the lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: HOYA Optical Labs of America, Inc.Inventors: Griff Altman, Michael Marshall, Suvagata Tripathi, Joshua Miller, Marga Acevedo, Craig Drury, Mehran Jaberzadeh
