Abstract: Techniques are described for backlighting electronic headset display panels. The backlight can include a light guide plate that is illuminated via a light transmitting element that is coupled to a light source. The light guide plate, in turn, illuminates the display panel. The light source is located within the headset but is disposed remotely from the display panels. A photodiode is coupled to a surface of the light transmitting element and is configured to detect a characteristic of the light transmitted by the light transmitting element.

Abstract: A headset includes an optical assembly, an adjustment assembly, and a measurement component. The measurement component is configured to measure an interpupillary distance provided by an adjustment assembly in a first direction and an eye relief distance provided by the adjustment assembly in a second direction, where the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction. The measurement component includes a first rheostat configured to measure the interpupillary distance and a second rheostat configured to measure the eye relief distance, wherein the second rheostat is placed parallel to the first rheostat. The measurement component further includes a linkage configured to translate a motion of the adjustment assembly in the second direction to the first direction.

Abstract: A headset includes a housing, an optical assembly disposed in the housing, and an adjustment assembly coupling the optical assembly to the housing. The optical assembly includes a first lens and a second lens spaced from the first lens by a first distance. The adjustment assembly includes an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism and an eye relief distance adjustment mechanism. The interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the first distance between the first lens and the second lens along a first axis. The eye relief distance adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the optical assembly a second distance along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis.

Abstract: The disclosed system for varifocal adjustments may include a frame, an optical lens pair supported by the frame, and a brake mechanism coupled to the frame. The optical lens pair may include a first lens that is movably coupled to the frame and a second lens that is fixedly coupled to the frame. The brake mechanism may be configured to frictionally stop movement of the first lens and to maintain a position of the first lens. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed systems for varifocal adjustments may include a frame, an optical lens pair supported by the frame, and a flexure assembly. The optical lens pair may include a first lens that is movably coupled to the frame and a second lens that is fixedly coupled to the frame. The flexure assembly may be configured to constrain movement of the first lens to a substantially linear pathway. The flexure assembly may include at least one substantially planar flexure element having a first movable end portion coupled to the first lens and a second fixed end portion coupled to the frame. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electric bicycle and electric bicycle frame including batteries stored in a pair of substantially parallel top tubes. In some cases, the top tubes extend rearward of the bicycle seat tube, and an electronics housing may be disposed between the rearward extending top tube portions.
