    Abstract: Systems, computer readable medium and methods for navigation correction for excessive wind in an autonomous drone are disclosed. Excessive winds can be a particular problem for small autonomous drones as safety and retrieval of the autonomous drones is important and the autonomous drones often have limited thrust and batteries. Autonomous drones are disclosed that detect and correct flight plans when excessive winds are detected. The autonomous drone determines based on the severity of the excessive winds whether to return to a home position which is typically a position of a user of the autonomous drone or to land in place. If the excessive winds subside, then the autonomous drone returns to its original flight plan at the point where the autonomous drone was blown off course by the excessive winds. The autonomous drone detects excessive winds either directly by sensor data or inferentially by unanticipated movement of the autonomous drone.

    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: A projector having a curved field lens and a displaced light modulating display. The system includes at least one light source configured to generate colored light beams, and a prism routing the light beams to the display. The curved field lens is coupled to a face of the prism, and the prism and curved field lens together decenter the light beam from the prism face and uniformly illuminate the display. A center of the display is displaced from the projection lens optical axis. The decentered light beam and the displaced display together generate a favorable shifted boresight of the created image. Dimensions of components of the projector are a function of a curvature of the curved field lens. The greater the curvature of the curved field lens, the smaller the dimensions of the components and the overall projector. The projector may be used in eyewear.

    Abstract: An antenna that is coupled to and integrated with a projector, such as a projector included with smart glasses including eyewear. The projector has a housing and includes optical components configured to display an image. At least one antenna is coupled to the projector, wherein the optical components operate and function as an antenna substrate. The optical components are nonmetallic such that the antenna generates a strong E-field. The antenna may be coupled to the projector housing, such as on the inside or the outside surface of the housing. Multiple antennas can be included to generate multiple resonances simultaneously in different frequency bands.
