Abstract: A mixed-reality near-eye display system in a head-mounted display (HMD) device includes a display alignment tracker configured for monitoring virtual image pixels in binocular waveguide-based displays and providing adjustments to a display engine to reduce binocular and color misalignments that can occur from thermal expansion of HMD device components and mechanical shock and vibration during device use. Surface relief gratings, located on waveguide combiner plates guiding separate display colors, are configured to in-couple and guide virtual image light from a projector-based display engine and simultaneously out-couple light for the near-eye display and alignment tracking.

Abstract: A device for displaying visual information to a user includes a waveguide and a lens positioned proximate the waveguide. The waveguide and lens are fixed relative to one another at a top portion of the waveguide and a top portion of the lens. An impact absorber is positioned between a part of the waveguide and a part of the lens, where the impact absorber is affixed to only one of the waveguide and the lens.

Abstract: A memory carrier system includes a carrier chassis that includes a board having a board connector. The board is operable to couple to a plurality of memory modules. A pair of pinion cams are rotatably mounted to the carrier chassis. A handle is moveably coupled to the carrier chassis and includes a pair of rack arms. Each rack arm engages a respective pinion cam. The carrier chassis is operable to be positioned in an information handling system (IHS) chassis that includes an IHS connector, and the handle is operable to be moved relative to the carrier chassis in order to rotate the pinion cams into an engagement with the IHS chassis that provides a cam force that mates the board connector to the IHS connector.

Abstract: The invention in one particular embodiment is a bracket including a base having an opening shaped to accommodate a socket for an integrated circuit device; and at least one containment member rigidly extending from the base to define a void shaped to accommodate the integrated circuit. In another embodiment, a method for mounting an integrated circuit device to a printed circuit board comprises affixing a bracket to the printed circuit board; mounting a socket to the printed circuit board; and coupling the integrated circuit to the socket, the integrated circuit being vertically and laterally constrained by the bracket.
