Publication number: 20200225492Abstract: A Near-Eye-Display (NED) device includes a computing architecture that is physically split across multiple locations to ergonomically locate a center of gravity (CG) with respect to a user's head. Subsets of computing components are physically non-contiguous, so their weight is dispersed around a user's head rather than being concentrated in a single location forward of the user's face. This causes the CG of the NED device to be more ergonomically located on the user's head relative to conventional NED devices. Ergonomically locating the CG of the NED device is a direct reduction in the amount of the physical strain that is placed on the user's neck as compared to conventional NED devices—even if the weight of the NED devices in the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2019Publication date: July 16, 2020Inventors: Jason P. WILLIAMS, Andriy PLETENETSKYY, Trevor BOSWELL, Brandon HARRIS, Junius PENNY

Patent number: 10187977Abstract: An adhesive joint system comprises a circuit board with a distal end and a proximal end mounted on a first side via a tongue and groove connection to a housing. An adhesive is positioned at least in the gap surrounding the tongue, and an electrical component mounted to the distal end on a second side of the circuit board that is opposite the first side. The respective coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the tongue, adhesive, and the material defining the groove are related, such that as heat is applied to the tongue and groove connection, the adhesive is compressed within the gap.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Igor Markovsky, Michael Nikkhoo, Andriy Pletenetskyy, Erin Hurbi
