Abstract: An eyewear device provides for routing a flexible conductive element or conductor through a hollow interior of a hinge mechanism that connects a temple of the eyewear device to its. The hinge mechanism comprises a pair of hinge pieces that defines a composite conduit through the hinge mechanism, conduit and hence the conductor routed through the passage being hidden or obscured from external view in any operational position of the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: An antenna system comprises a combination of a loop antenna and a non-loop antenna. The loop antenna and the non-loop antenna is connected in common to a transceiver mechanism or signal feed mechanism. The non-loop antenna is in some embodiments provided by a dipole conductor. An eyewear device incorporates the antenna system, a loop conductor and a dipole conductor of the antenna system being integrated in a body of the eyewear device. The loop conductor may be provided by a lens ring that extends around a lens held by the body. The lens ring may serve both as loop conductor and as a lens retention mechanism.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a button-enabled housing assembly includes preforming 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.

Abstract: An eyewear device provides for routing a flexible conductive element or conductor through a hollow interior of a hinge mechanism that connects a temple of the eyewear device to its lens-supporting frame. The conductor establishes an electrically conductive connection between electronic components housed in the frame and the temple respectively. The hinge mechanism comprises a pair of hinge pieces that defines a composite conduit through the hinge mechanism, the conduit and hence the conductor routed through the passage being hidden or obscured from external view in any operational position of the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: A housing assembly for an electronics-enabled device includes a housing wall having parallel inner and outer faces, with a hinge base affixed through the wall. The hinge base has a shank extending through the wall and a joint mount exterior to the housing for hingedly mounting an external component. An anchor plate inside the housing is welded to the shank, preventing axial withdrawal of the hinge base by obstruction against the inner face. The welded connection rotationally keys the anchor plate to the hinge base. The assembly enables integration of electronics components mounted on the anchor plate, which can serve as a thermal conductor between heat-generating components and an external heatsink via the hinge base. In electronics-enabled eyewear, the hinge base provides hinged connection of a temple to an eyewear frame. Manufacturing involves locating the hinge base and anchor plate, translationally fastening them together threadedly, and spot-welding for rotational keying.

Abstract: An antenna system comprises a driven antenna element connected to a printed circuit board (PCB), and a plurality of PCB extenders provided by electrical conductors connected to a PCB ground plane for cooperation with the driven antenna element in signal communication. In an eyewear device that incorporates the antenna system, the plurality of PCB extenders are provided by conductive structural elements incorporated in an eyewear frame.

Abstract: An eyewear device has an antenna system having at least one element which contributes to wireless signal transmission, and which is thermally connected to a heat-generating electronic component of the eyewear device to serve as a heat sink for the electronic component. A driven antenna element and/or a plurality of PCB extenders electrically connected to a PCB ground plane can thus be employed for both signal transmission and heat management.
