20210301081 · 2021-09-30 · ·

A bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is environment friendly by not containing a bisphenol, and exhibits excellent heat resistance, transparency, strength, hardness, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. Thus, the bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is suitable for use in an eyeglass frame. In addition, various colors may be painted and coated on during post-processing, a separate additive is not required during a molding process, and processing is undergone at a temperature lower than that for conventional plastic materials for an eyeglass frame, and thus manufacturing costs may be reduced.

Eye-mountable device with muscle sensor

An ophthalmic device includes an enclosure, an electromyography sensor, and a controller. The enclosure is configured to mount in or on an eye. The enclosure further includes a first material and a second material disposed within the first material. The electromyography sensor is adapted to measure electrical activity of a muscle of the eye proximate to a first annular region of the ophthalmic device when the ophthalmic device is mounted in or on the eye. The electromyography sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, each positioned within the first annular region between the first material and at least a portion of the second material. The controller, coupled to the electromyography sensor, stores instructions that when executed causes the ophthalmic device to perform operations including acquiring a first signal representative of the electrical activity of the muscle by measuring the electrical activity with the electromyography sensor.

CLIP-ON GLASSES SYSTEM AND CARRY CASE FOR SAME
20210231970 · 2021-07-29 ·

A clip-on glasses system includes clip-on glasses and a carry case for carrying and storing the clip-on glasses. The clip-on glasses lack conventional temple members and are instead a generally planar arrangement of two lens portions connected by a flexible bridge which allows a user to “clip” the glasses onto the user's nose such that a spring action of the bridge causes the lens portions together against the user's nose on opposite sides of the user's nose. The flexible bridge is made in a serpentine arrangement that augments the flexibility over bridge configurations and provides an easy hand hold for grasping the clip-on glasses. The carry case is configured to use the spring action of the flexible bridge to retain the clip-on glasses in the carry case, and has a stand to stand the carry case upright.

20210223556 · 2021-07-22 ·

An article includes a hollow enclosure defining a void. The void has a first section and a second section separate from the first section. An electronic component is housed in the first section and the second section of the void. A low pressure mold material is molded into the first section of the void and cured around a first segment of the electronic component to encapsulate the first segment of the electronic component. A support seal is inserted into the second section of the void adjacent a second segment of the electronic component. The support seal defines a sealing barrier on one side of the low pressure mold material that limits the flow of low pressure mold material out of the first section of the void.

Button assembly and method of manufacturing thereof

Rotationally stabilized contact lens with improved comfort and improved stabilization utilizing optimized stiffness profiles

The invention provides an improved rotationally stabilized contact lens design and method of designing such a lens which minimizes stabilization time of the lens while maximizing the lens on-eye comfort. The lens and the method of designing the lens further improves upon an earlier method which utilizes and combines non-circularity and thickness differential aspects which results in equivalent or minimized stabilization time, ease of insertion and manufacturability as well as maximum comfort that is improved over that of what either aspect can achieve independently. This further improvement of stiffness profile is achieved by optimizing and selectively addressing thickness differential both diametrically and circumferentially in a non-round lens design.
