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.

Abstract: A projector, such as for eyewear, having a first and second shield that individually sink heat from a light source and provide electromagnetic (EM) shielding for the projector, and a processor controlling the projector. The shields sink heat evenly and efficiently, to different portions of the eyewear. In one example, the heat is directed in different directions. The shields encompass the light source and the processor, and they may be parallel to one another. The thickness of the shield coupled to the light source is thicker proximate the light source. The shields may be separated from each other by a thermal insulating material.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing temperatures of wearable device components are disclosed. In one aspects, a method includes determining a temperature of an electronic component of the wearable device, determining a rate of temperature change of the electronic component, and determining whether to increase or decrease a transmission rate limit of the electronic component based on the temperature and the rate, adjusting the transmission rate limit based on the determination, and limiting a rate of transmission of the electronic component based on the adjusted transmission rate limit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing temperatures of wearable device components are disclosed. In one aspect, a wearable electronic device includes glasses, a wireless transmitter, an ambient temperature sensor, hardware processing circuitry, and a hardware memory storing instructions that when executed configure the hardware processing circuitry to determine an ambient temperature using the ambient temperature sensor, determine a maximum temperature of the wearable electronic device based on the ambient temperature, determine a temperature of the wearable electronic device, determine a difference between the maximum wearable temperature and the determined temperature of the wearable electronic device, and adjust a transmission rate of the wireless transmitter based on the difference.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems for electronic wearable devices such as smart glasses are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device can include an eyewear body, onboard electronic components, and a core wire. The eyewear body can be configured for wearing by a user to hold one or more optical elements mounted on the eyewear body within a field of view of the user. The onboard electronic components can be carried by the eyewear body and can comprise a heat source that generates heat during electrically powered operation thereof. The core wire can be disposed within the body to form part of a structural framework for at least part of the eyewear body. The core wire can be thermally coupled to the heat source to provide a heat sink for the heat source.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring a surface temperature of eyewear proximate a processor to understand the surface temperature as a function of computer instructions, such as when the computer instructions are modified during software design. A sensor is coupled to the eyewear proximate the processor, such as at a temple of the eyewear including the processor, using one or more layers of tape. A server provides instructions to the processor for execution, such as instructions of an application, which instructions vary the utilization of the processor. A testing device, such as a digital multi-meter, is coupled to the sensor, as well as the server, and displays the surface temperature as a function of the processor utilization. The surface temperature of the eyewear is monitored to ensure the surface temperature does not exceed a temperature threshold.

Abstract: A wearable device is disclosed according to one embodiment. The wearable device can include an eyewear body, onboard electronic components, a thermal coupling and a heat transfer device. The eyewear body can be configured for wearing by a user to hold one or more optical elements mounted on the eyewear body within a field of view of the user. The onboard electronic components can be carried by the eyewear body at a first portion of the eyewear body and can comprise a heat source that generates heat during electrically powered operation thereof. The thermal coupling can be thermally coupled to the heat transfer device at a second portion of the eyewear body.
