Abstract: A flexible thermal conduit runs from a first housing portion of an electronic device to a second housing portion of the electronic device, to convey heat generated by an electronic component located in the first housing portion to a heat dissipation structure located in the second housing portion, where the second housing portion is flexibly coupled to the first housing portion, for example, by a hinge or other type of joint. The flexible conduit may include a plurality of layers of thin, flat thermally conductive material, which may be arranged to flex independently of each other in the region where the first and second housing portions are coupled.

Abstract: A head-mounted display device includes a head fitting by which the display device can be worn on the head of a user, and a visor assembly mounted to the head fitting. The visor assembly includes a plurality of display elements arranged to be aligned with the eyes of the user, a plurality of sensors, and a protective enclosure that encloses the display elements and the sensors. The protective enclosure may include an upper portion aligned with the sensors and a lower portion aligned with the display elements. The upper portion may be substantially opaque to visible light and transparent to infrared light. The lower portion may have a variable tinting scheme in which at least some of the lower portion of the enclosure is transparent to visible light.

Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) device has a chassis, a display assembly, and various sensors and electronics, where the display assembly, sensors and electronics are mounted to the chassis and enclosed within a sealed protective visor, and where the display assembly is mounted to the chassis only through a central location that is aligned with a center-point between the user's eyes, thereby decoupling the display assembly from most mechanical and thermal stresses.
