Optical systems and methods are provided, which combine see-through view of the real world and display source images using a conical optical combiner cut to have flat surfaces normal to the viewer line of sight. The conical shape minimizes interferences in the view of the real world as the edges of the optical combiner are tangent to the viewer vision field of view and the inner part of the optical combiner is semitransparent. Additionally, the optical system comprises a beam splitter, a shutter(s) for attenuating or blocking the see-through path and may employ polarizing element to improve the contrast between the scene observation and the projected display and thus enabling selective viewing of either. The system may also be configured to enable diopter adjustment and virtual display distance adjustments.

Thermal management of printed circuit board components
A first thermal management approach involves an air flow through cooling mechanism with multiple airflow channels for dissipating heat generated in a PCA. The air flow direction through at least one of the channels is different from the air flow direction through at least another of the channels. Alternatively or additionally, the airflow inlet of at least one channel is off-axis with respect to the airflow outlet. A second thermal management approach involves the fabrication of a PCB with enhanced durability by mitigating via cracking or PTH fatigue. At least one PCB layer is composed of a base material formed from a 3D woven fiberglass fabric, and conductive material deposited onto the base material surface. A conductive PTH extends through the base material of multiple PCB layers, where the CTE of the base material along the z-axis direction substantially matches the CTE of the conductive material along the x-axis direction.

LCD resizing methods. In first method, display is situated in vacuum chamber under vacuum conditions, and temperature is decreased below freezing temperature of display image-generating medium. A groove is formed along selected groove dimensions, extending through one plate and terminating within other plate. Adhesive is applied into formed groove, and display temperature is increased above adhesive liquidation temperature. Vacuum pressure is increased to at least atmospheric pressure, adhesive is polymerized to form seal, and plates are severed. In second method, grooves are formed in each plate along respective groove dimensions. A compressive force is applied against intended remaining plate sections to prevent air penetrating between plates and seepage of image-generating medium. Display plates are severed along respective groove dimensions, forming an exposed inner surface at plate edge. Adhesive is applied at exposed surface, compressive force is reduced allowing adhesive to permeate between plates, and adhesive is polymerized to form seal.

Augmented reality display reflective of visibility affecting features in real-world environment
Method and system for displaying augmented reality reflective of environmental features affecting visibility. Characteristics of a virtual object to be displayed on view of scene is determined. Environmental features affecting visibility along a line-of-sight from scene origin to virtual object are detected. When detected feature is at least one non-obstructing feature, its effect on visibility is determined, and virtual object is displayed superimposed onto view of scene such that appearance of virtual object is consistent with determined effect on visibility. When detected feature includes an amorphous obstructing feature, its range and contour is determined, and obstructed portions of virtual object is determined based on difference between range of virtual object and range of amorphous obstructing feature, and virtual object is displayed superimposed onto view of scene such that determined obstructed portions of virtual object appear obstructed in displayed view.
