Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to coupling light into waveguides in a near-eye display device in a manner configured to be tolerant to misalignment of the waveguides with each other and/or other optics. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a near-eye display device comprising one or more waveguides, wherein each waveguide comprises a light input coupling configured to receive light at a first side of the waveguide to couple the light into the waveguide, and a light output coupling configured to emit light from the waveguide at a second side of the waveguide, the second side of the waveguide being opposite the first side of the waveguide.

Abstract: Embodiments related near-eye display devices having angularly multiplexed holograms are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a near-eye display device including an image source, a waveguide, and a controller. The waveguide is configured to propagate light received the image source to a user of the near-eye display device, and includes a holographic grating comprising a plurality of angularly multiplexed holograms. The controller is configured to control display of an image via the image source.

Abstract: A near-eye display system includes an image former and first and second series of mutually parallel beamsplitters. The image former is configured to form a display image and to release the display image through an exit pupil. The first series of mutually parallel beamsplitters is arranged to receive the display image from the image former. The second series of mutually parallel beamsplitters is arranged to receive the display image from the first series of beamsplitters, and to release the display image through an exit pupil longer and wider than that of the image former. The second series of beamsplitters has a different alignment and a different orientation than the first series of beamsplitters.

Abstract: Dispensing support for use with an associated brick-type package, the brick-type package presenting a parallelepiped shape for its bottom and side panels and a gable top panel with a pour spout attached thereto. The dispensing support comprises a parallelepiped sleeve, the sleeve being divided in two parts attached together by a hinge, so that the sleeve can be opened and the associated brick-type package can be inserted inside. The dispensing support presents an upwardly projecting spout extending from the top wall of the parallelepiped sleeve, the spout being off-center on the top wall of the sleeve so as to engage the pour spout at the gable top panel of the brick-type package when the package is introduced in the dispensing support with its gable top compressed.

Abstract: A system for providing power to a powered device over a communication cable has a cable resistance measuring mechanism that determines values of response signals detected in response to supplying each of at least three reference signals over the communication cable, and determines the resistance of a pair of wires in the cable based on these values. The cable resistance measuring mechanism may be configured for determining resistance of an Ethernet cable that delivers power to the powered device in a Power over Ethernet system.

Abstract: A near-eye display system includes an image former and a waveguide. The image former is configured to form a display image and to release the display image through a first exit pupil. The waveguide presents a back surface that faces the wearer's eye, and a front surface opposite the back surface. The waveguide is substantially transparent to external imagery received normal to the front surface, and is configured to receive the display image from the image former and to release the display image through a second exit pupil, which is larger than the first exit pupil.

Abstract: An electrical terminal (10) including a contact section (14) extending from a body section (12), and a pin section (16) extending from the body section to be inserted into a circuit board through hole (20). The pin section (16) is defined by a pair of spaced apart opposing legs (30) each having a compliant portion (42) defined by a pair of arcuate beams (48) spaced apart by a slot (50), the arcuate beam pair at outer edges (54) being larger in dimension than the through hole diameter. Insertion compresses the arcuate beams (48) of each pair together generating force in a first direction, and compresses the legs toward each other generating force in an orthogonal direction.
