When Chris Mullin was a physics postdoc at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Northern California, one of the most annoying parts of his day was his commute. He had to drive half of the 35 miles between his home in Berkeley and his lab in Livermore into near-direct sunlight. The glare gave him headaches and made it tough to see oncoming traffic. an idea: sunglasses that would use an electronic shield to block glare instantly.
He put the idea on hold for a few years while he worked as a research engineer. But when he got laid off in 2002, he took the opportunity to develop his invention,Hermes handbags, which he dubbed Dynamic Eye. He used a liquid crystal for the lens material,Jordan shoes,Tiffany and co Cufflinks, which he had studied extensively while getting his doctorate. Although the visual properties of a liquid crystal can be electronically modified, the material can be as easy to see through as a typical sunglass lens. A small sensor on the nose bridge detects glare and alerts an adjacent microcontroller to its location. The microcontroller, in turn, instructs the liquid-crystal lens to display a four-or six-millimeter black square in front of the eye to block glare. The square moves with the wearer to block the source of glare at any angle but still allows the surroundings to remain visible.
It took Mullin five years and five prototypes to shrink the components. His first version,Nike outlet online,Air yeezy 2, completed in 2003,Hermes Handbags outlet, included a circuit board tethered to a laptop that processed incoming sensor data. Now-in part because of a low-energy,Tiffany and co Earrings,Toms Shoes Outlet, light detecting sensor that he developed-the battery and all the necessary electronics are compact enough to fit within standard sunglass frames. Still,Nike yeezy for sale, the glasses aren't quite market-ready; while testing the most recent prototype,Toms Shoes Clearance,Nike outlet, the LCD lenses occasionally malfunctioned. they were in the glasses,Oakley Sunglasses Outlet, some of the rows [of pixels] stopped working,oakley sunglasses, developing flexible plastic-based LCDs (in lieu of glass),Hermes bags, so the finished product will be lighter and shatterproof enough for commercial sale.
Mullin-whose work was funded partly with a research grant from the US Air Force-is initially focusing his work on creating eyewear for fighter pilots and soldiers. and the eyewear would respond, buy the Dynamic Eye shades within a few years.
