Publication number: 20170010465Abstract: An eyepiece for a head wearable display includes a curved lightguide component, a curved see-through component, an output coupler, and a prescription layer. The curved lightguide component guides display light received at an input region and releases the display light along an eye-ward direction in a viewing region. The output coupler is disposed at the viewing region to redirect the display light towards the eye-ward direction for output from the curved lightguide component. The output coupler is at least partially transmissive to ambient light incident through a world-facing side such that the viewing region is see-through. The curved see-through component is mated to the world-facing side of the curved lightguide component. The prescription layer has a first side mated to an eye-facing side of the curved lightguide component and a second side having a curvature that introduces prescriptive lensing to both the ambient light and the display light.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2015Publication date: January 12, 2017Inventors: Oscar A.

Publication number: 20120289105Abstract: The Reverse Thrust Flipper is a swimming flipper similar to a regular swimming (scuba diving, exercise, recreational) flipper that has the function of generating thrust in the opposite direction to the swimmers direction. The purpose of this flipper is to allow the swimmer to exercise without the need of a large body of water. The flipper's reverse thrust reduces de forward movement while still requiring the swimmer to exert the same amount of work. Its oscillating fin makes it possible to produce the reverse thrust in both the upward and downward leg strokes, thus maximizing the work out and enabling a simulated forward swimming experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2011Publication date: November 15, 2012Inventor: Gerardo Oscar Martinez
