Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a printed circuit board (PCB), an electronic component coupled to the PCB, an electrically conductive fence coupled to the PCB and surrounding a perimeter of the electronic component, and a fan assembly. The fan assembly includes a housing coupled to the fence and disposed over the electronic component and a plurality of fan blades configured to rotate within the housing.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The housing may include a chassis with left and right openings that overlap respective left and right optical modules that present images eye boxes. Each optical module may have a lens and display that presents an image through the lens. The chassis may have an inner frame and outer frame. A middle portion of the chassis may form a stiffened nose bridge structure. Components in the housing such as a display, a fan housing, a heat sink layer, optical module guide rods, and a rear cover may span the width of the housing and may be attached to edge portions of the chassis, thereby forming a box-shaped structure that provides rigidity and helps prevent housing deformation.

Abstract: High-speed connectors that simplify connectivity between electronic devices, are simple to use, and are readily manufactured. One example can simplify connectivity by including contacts for power, data, and one or more RF signals into a single connector. One example provides a connector receptacle having a tongue supporting contacts for data and power. A ground contact can encircle the tongue and a shield can be around the tongue, contacts, and ground contact. An RF contact can be positioned between the ground contact and the shield, such that the ground contact and shield provide RF shielding for the RF contact.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, a display system is disclosed, such as a wearable head-mounted display (HMD), that includes an internal system housing and a movable display stack. The display stack includes a display panel, a carrier supporting the display panel, and a heat sink that are secured together such that the display panel, the carrier, and the heat sink are movable in unison within the system housing to adjust focus of the display panel. The carrier and/or the heat sink respectively include first and second thermal solutions to facilitate heat transfer away from the display panel, which may include a material having high thermal-conductivity properties and/or any structure that is configured to increase the exposed surface area of the carrier and/or the heat sink, such as projections or extensions (e.g., fins), recesses, slits, openings, or the like.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include an outer frame that can define a first opening, a second opening an internal volume between the first opening and the second opening, an intake port between the first opening and the second opening, and an exhaust port between the first opening and the second opening. In some examples, a front cover assembly can be disposed in the first opening. An inner frame can be coupled to the outer frame, where the inner frame can also define a first aperture and a second aperture. In some examples, a curtain assembly can occlude the second opening. Furthermore, the curtain assembly can include an elastic layer that can define an external surface. The curtain assembly can also include an air-impermeable layer that can define the internal volume.

Abstract: A display system, such as a wearable display device, includes a system housing including a cavity having a linear axis extending generally in parallel with first and second side walls enclosing the cavity and a display stack enclosed within the cavity and movable along the linear axis. The display stack includes a display panel and a support chassis configured to support a first side of the display panel and thermally couple the display panel to the first side wall to facilitate heat transfer from the display panel, across the support chassis, and to the system housing The display stack includes a heat sink configured for support by a second side of the display panel and to thermally couple the display panel to the second side wall to facilitate heat transfer from the display panel, across the heat sink, and to the system housing.
