    Abstract: A biometric button assembly may be disposed in an opening of an enclosure of an electronic device. The biometric button assembly may include an input member that forms an exterior surface of the button housing and is configured to receive inputs, for example from a user of the electronic device. The biometric button assembly may further include a biometric sensor for detecting the received inputs and transmitting a signal to a processor of the electronic device. The signal may correspond to a biometric characteristic, such as a fingerprint. A flexible conduit may transmit the signal to the processor. A portion of the flexible conduit and a seal may be positioned between the button assembly and the enclosure that prevents contaminants from entering the button housing and the enclosure.

    Abstract: An optical module includes a beam-tilting light source enclosure. The enclosure is coupled to a substrate that includes a light emitter connected thereto. The enclosure has a geometry such that the enclosure has a first surface configured to couple substantially flat to the substrate and a second surface tilted with respect to the first surface and configured to couple substantially flat to a component of an electronic device through which the light is to project. The enclosure is optically transmissive and covers the light source when coupled to the substrate. In this way, the enclosure may be assembled and used in the electronic device by coupling the first surface to the substrate and coupling the second surface to the component.

    Abstract: An earbud includes a housing, a speaker mounted within the housing, a processor mounted within the housing, a user input surface on the housing, and a set of self-mixing interferometry (SMI) sensors mounted within the housing. The set of SMI sensors includes a first SMI sensor configured to emit a first beam of light, and a second SMI sensor configured to emit a second beam of light. The second beam of light passes through the user input surface about an axis that is non-perpendicular to the user input surface. The processor is configured to adjust a parameter of the speaker at least partly in response to a first SMI output of the first SMI sensor and a second SMI output of the second SMI sensor.
