Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling transitions in an optically switchable device. In one aspect, a controller for a tintable window may include a processor, an input for receiving output signals from sensors, and instructions for causing the processor to determine a level of tint of the tintable window, and an output for controlling the level of tint in the tintable window. The instructions may include a relationship between the received output signals and the level of tint, with the relationship employing output signals from an exterior photosensor, an interior photosensor, an occupancy sensor, an exterior temperature sensor, and a transmissivity sensor. In some instances, the controller may receive output signals over a network and/or be interfaced with a network, and in some instances, the controller may be a standalone controller that is not interfaced with a network.

Abstract: Eyewear having monitoring capability, such as for radiation or motion, is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Motion can be measure by a detector, and the measured motion can be used to determine whether the eyewear is being worn.

Abstract: An optical keyswitch includes a casing having a movable portion, a shaft movably disposed on the casing, a resilient member accommodated in the casing, and a switch module including a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver. The emitter emits an optical signal along an optical path to the receiver. When the shaft is at a non-pressed position, the movable portion has a first spatial relation with the optical path, and the receiver receives the optical signal of a first intensity. When the shaft moves, in response to a pressing force, to a pressed position, the shaft compresses the resilient member and pushes the movable portion to move, so the movable portion no longer has the first spatial relation with the optical path, the optical signal received by the receiver has a second intensity different from the first intensity, and the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.

Abstract: A system is capable of detecting substrates and can differentiate between zero, one, or multiple transparent or semi-transparent substrates in a stack. The system can include an optical sensor, an optically anti-reflective element, and a detector. The optical sensor outputs light towards the optically anti-reflective element. The light detector is positioned to detect light from the light source that is reflected by substrates, if any, positioned within a detection zone between the optically anti-reflective element and the detector.
