Abstract: Eyewear that is configured to be wirelessly charged and also wirelessly communicate bidirectionally using a single coil in a front end. The single coil forms a single compact antenna that is configured for both near field data communications (NFC) and also for wireless charging when the eyewear is closely coupled to a wireless power charger having a transceiver. Wireless charging and bidirectional communication of the eyewear can be performed using Qi expanded power profile (EPP), which is an open interface standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium.

Abstract: Examples include a wearable device having a frame, a temple and onboard electronics components. The frame can optionally configured to hold one or more optical elements. T temple can optionally connected to the frame at a joint such that the temple is disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the wearable device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The onboard electronics components can be carried by at least one of the frame and the temple and can include a first antenna configured for cellular communication carried by the frame and a second antenna configured for cellular communication carried by one of the frame or the temple.

Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device includes a frame, onboard electronics components, and an antenna disposed around an eyepiece area of the frame that is configured to hold an optical element. The antenna is configured for inductive coupling. In some embodiments, a switch coupled to the antenna allows selection between circuitry for inductive charging of a battery and near-field communication (NFC) circuitry for communicating data via the antenna.

Abstract: A wearable device includes a frame and a magnetic coupler opening formed in the frame. Wearable device further includes a processor, a memory accessible to the processor, and a very high frequency (VHF) radio transceiver for data transmission and reception and connected to the processor. Wearable device further includes a magnetic coupler connected to the VHF radio transceiver. Magnetic coupler includes a diamagnetic material shaped to form a VHF transmission or reception terminal that partially or fully aligns with the magnetic coupler opening. During transmission, magnetic coupler is configured to radiate transmitted VHF band radio modulated signals into tissue of the user. During reception, magnetic coupler is configured to absorb received VHF band radio modulated signals from the tissue of the user.

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: 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 eye-wear 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.
