  • Patent number: 10663737
    Abstract: A magnetically detachable head-mounted-display strap-interface apparatus may include (1) a strap that includes an electrical accessory that necessitates an electrical connection to a head-mounted display and (2) a mount coupled to the strap that includes (a) an interface that is mateable and demateable to an opposing interface of the head-mounted display, (b) an electrical connector that is configured to provide the electrical connection from the electrical accessory to the head-mounted display when contacting an opposing electrical connector of the head-mounted display, and (c) a magnetic element that magnetically couples the interface and the opposing interface of the head-mounted display by attracting an opposing magnetic element of the head-mounted display and enables the interface to be decoupled from the opposing interface of the head-mounted display and the electrical connector to be disconnected from the opposing electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 8882524
    Abstract: A dual orientation plug connector having a connector tab with first and second major opposing sides and a plurality of electrical contacts carried by the connector tab. The plurality of contacts may include a first set of external contacts formed at the first major side and a second set of external contacts formed at the second major side. The first plurality of contacts may be symmetrically spaced with the second plurality of contacts and the connector tab may be shaped to have 180 degree symmetry so that it can be inserted and operatively coupled to a corresponding receptacle connector in either of two insertion orientations. A receptacle connector corresponding to the plug connector.
