The invention relates to a device for the treatment of a tinnitus condition, comprising a pressure point body which is dimensioned so that it can be secured to or in the vicinity of the auricle, characterized in that said pressure point body has a fastening element and a pressure element, whereby the position of the auricle is changed and/or the middle ear is deformed.

MULTI-LAYER DIFFRACTIVE EYEPIECE

An eyepiece includes a planar waveguide having a front surface and a back surface. The eyepiece also includes a grating coupled to the back surface of the planar waveguide and configured to diffract a first portion of the light propagating in the planar waveguide out of a plane of the planar waveguide toward a first direction and to diffract a second portion of the light propagating in the planar waveguide out of the plane of the planar waveguide toward a second direction opposite to the first direction and a wavelength-selective reflector coupled to the front surface of the planar waveguide. The wavelength-selective reflector comprises a multilevel metasurface comprising a plurality of spaced apart protrusions having a pitch and formed of a first optically transmissive material and a second optically transmissive material disposed between the spaced apart protrusions.

EYEWEAR DEVICE WITH THERMAL VAPOR CHAMBER

An electronic eyewear device having a thermal management device including a vapor chamber in the temples. The temples may have a sheet metal portion thermally connected to heat generating electronics, wherein the vapor chamber is thermally coupled to the sheet metal along a length thereof to disperse heat generated by the electronics. The sheet metal and the vapor chamber may be encompassed by a non-thermally conducting material, such as being over molded by a silicone material, to prevent user contact with the heated sheet metal and vapor chamber. The sheet metal and the vapor chamber are generally planar and lightweight, and they are bent to bias the temples against a user's head when worn to provide preloading.

Button assembly and method of manufacturing thereof

A method of manufacturing a button-enabled housing assembly includes pre-forming a composite button component or insert having an elastically flexible button membrane that is mounted on a rigid frame, and thereafter molding a housing over the button insert. The composite button insert is formed in a co-molding operation and can include a rigid island in the flexible button membrane for supporting a cosmetic keycap.

Hinge designs in wearable electronic devices

The disclosed embodiments provide a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device includes a frame containing a front portion configured to rest over a nose of a user, a first arm configured to rest over an ear of the user. The wearable electronic device also includes a first hinge connecting the front portion and the first arm. The first hinge includes an interior portion that houses a wire connected to a first electronic component in the front portion and a second electronic component in the first arm. The first hinge also includes an exterior portion that hides the wire during rotation of the first arm about the first hinge between a folded position and an unfolded position.
