Abstract: Systems and methods for forming button assemblies for electronic devices are disclosed. According to some embodiments, the button assemblies include one or more sound improvement features to improve the sound that the button assemblies make when pressed by users of the electronic devices. According to some embodiments, the button assemblies include shims that provide proper alignment of the various components of the button assemblies and to accommodate any tolerance stack up of the various components of the button assemblies. The shims can include alignment features to prevent the shims from shifting within the button assemblies. According to some embodiments, thicknesses of the shims are customized to accommodate varying tolerance stack ups of the components of the button assemblies. In some embodiments, the button assemblies include a combination of sound improvement features and shims.

Abstract: An electronic device includes at least a housing having a force transmissive surface capable of receiving a force, a force sensor configured to sense the force received from the force transmissive surface in accordance with a force path and respond by outputting a signal that indicates a magnitude of the force at a first sensitivity level when the magnitude of the force is less than a threshold level, otherwise, the signal indicates the magnitude of the force in accordance with a second sensitivity level. The electronic device includes a processor in communication with the force sensor that uses the signal to alter an operation of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the electronic device is wearable.

Abstract: A system and method for retaining enclosure components of an electronic device that can experience a range of dynamic forces is disclosed. The electronic device includes a cover component and a housing component. The electronic device also contains a retention system that includes a spring clip and a compressible layer for retaining a portion of the cover component to the housing component. The retention system provides a variable retention force that resists the separation of the cover and housing components. If the electronic device experiences a force that is applied abruptly, such as in the case of an unintentional drop event, the variable retention force is high, increasing the retention between the cover and housing components. If the electronic device experiences a slower and gradual force, such as in the case of intentional disassembly, the variable retention force is low, allowing the disassembly of the electronic device.
Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于保持能够体验动态力范围的电子设备的外壳部件的系统和方法。 电子设备包括盖部件和壳体部件。 电子设备还包括保持系统，其包括弹簧夹和用于将盖部件的一部分保持在壳体部件上的可压缩层。 保持系统提供可变的保持力，抵抗盖和壳体部件的分离。 如果电子设备经受突然施加的力，例如在无意的跌落事件的情况下，可变的保持力较高，增加了盖和壳体部件之间的保持力。 如果电子设备经历较慢且逐渐的力，例如在故意拆卸的情况下，可变保持力低，允许拆卸电子设备。

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques related to configuring display devices. For example, a method includes receiving sensor data corresponding to at least a portion of a face. The method further includes identifying, using the sensor data, a feature of the face. The method further includes identifying, based on the feature, a configuration parameter associated with the display device. The method further includes outputting the configuration parameter for changing a fit of the display device to the face.

Abstract: Sensor assemblies for electronic devices are described. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies include solid-state sensors, such as capacitive sensors, piezoelectric sensors or piezoresistive sensors. The sensor assemblies can include a number of features that provide a compact profile, making them well suited for integration into small spaces of electronic device enclosures. The sensor assemblies can also include features that isolate movement of various parts of the sensor assemblies, allowing for accurate detection of a sensing event. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies are coupled to haptic actuators, speaker, or both, which mimic the feel of a mechanical button and enhance a user's experience.

Abstract: A pass-through camera in a head-mounted device may capture image data for displaying on a display in the head-mounted device. However, only low-resolution image data may be needed to display low-resolution images in the periphery of the user's field of view on the display. Therefore, the pass-through camera may only capture high-resolution images that correspond to the portion of the user's field-of-view that is being directly viewed and may capture lower resolution image data that corresponds to the real-world objects in the user's peripheral vision. To enable the camera module to selectively capture high-resolution images, the pass-through camera may include an image sensor with two or more pixel densities, a distortion lens, and/or one or more planar or curved mirrors. Any of the components in the camera module may be adjusted to change which portion of a scene is captured with high-resolution image data.

Abstract: A switching assembly can include a lever arm that is magnetically attached to at least a portion of a base plate. A contact may be positioned in a spaced apart and above one end of the lever arm. Alternatively, the contact may be included in the base plate. Another switching assembly can include a movable element adapted to electrically connect with a contact in the switch assembly and a guide a guide having a geometry that directs the element along a first travel path to the contact and a second travel path away from the contact. A geometry of the guide is based on a first displacement curve that is associated with the first travel path and on a second displacement curve that is associated with the second travel path.
