Patent number: 11867876Abstract: An optical article includes a substrate with front and rear main faces, one main face coated with a columnar micro- or nano-structured coating. The substrate and optical article are transparent in at least a part of the visible region ranging from 380 to 780 nm, along at least one incidence angle. The columnar micro- or nano-structured coating includes an array of columns including each a core and an upper layer covering the core, the core and the upper layer being structurally and/or chemically different and have light absorbing properties with an extinction coefficient “k” ?10-2 in the spectrum 250-2500 nm and are able to cause a change in transmission or in reflection of incident light through the optical article as a function of the angle of incidence of light. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing an optical article including a columnar micro- or nano-structured coating.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignees: Corporation de l'Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Essilor InternationalInventors: William Trottier-Lapointe, Bruce Faure, Bill Baloukas, Richard Vernhes, Oleg Zabeida, Ludvik Martinu, Sasha Woodward, Nicolas Desjardins-Lecavalier, Julien Gagnon

Patent number: 10444533Abstract: An eyewear assembly has a frame with removable lenses. The eyewear assembly may include upper and lower frame portions that are separable from one another at a bridge region of the frame using a linkage. A finger actuator actuates the linkage to cause the upper frame to move away from the lower frame, exposing at least one edge of the lenses for removal. The separated upper frame portion and lower frame portion may be held in a stable open position. After lens removal or replacement, the linkage may be actuated to reconnect the upper frame portion and lower frame portion, thereby enclosing the lenses.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Revision Military Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Luc Lussier, Stéphane Lebel, Nicolas Desjardins
