    Abstract: A concealing structure to at least partially conceal a sensor, light emitter or other component by at least partially preventing reflection of external light by an underlying structure. In some examples, this function is performed by a two-component masking assembly, the masking assembly including a linear polarizer to cause linear polarization of light which passes from the exterior of the device to an underlying component, and a wave plate to shift the axis of any reflected polarized light. In many cases, a high density optical fluid will further be included within the masking assembly to minimize reflections from the other components of the assembly.

    Abstract: A first device presents first information that is associated with a first mode of operation. The first device receives a communication from a second device that is communicably coupled to the first device. The communication instructs the first device to perform an operation corresponding to an event associated with the second device. In response to receiving the communication from the second device, the first device presents second information that is associated with a second mode of operation corresponding to the event associated with the second device. The second information is presented by the first device concurrent with a processing associated with the event that is performed by the second device.
