  • Patent number: 12074003
    Abstract: Various arrangements of smart home devices are presented herein. A chassis assembly of a smart home device may define one or more compartments. The chassis assembly may include a plurality of cover fasteners. A rotatable cover assembly may be present and configured to be removably attached with the plurality of cover fasteners to the chassis assembly in any rotational orientation and to at least partially cover a front of the chassis assembly. While the rotatable cover is removably attached with the plurality of cover fasteners, the rotatable cover assembly is configured to block access to the one or more compartments defined by the chassis assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230409081
    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for narrow display borders using a display-to-frame interposer (“interposer”). In aspects, the interposer is bonded, on a first side, to a mechanical frame. On a second side, the interposer is bonded to a backside of a display panel module, including a folded portion, and supports a cover layer through the display panel module. In such a configuration, a display border, which extends from an edge of the cover layer to an active area of the display panel module and resides above the folded portion, can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11782483
    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at uniformly narrow display bezels in portable electronic devices. In aspects, a portable electronic device includes a housing that houses a display panel stack having a chamfered, polyhedral cover layer bonded to a top of a display module. The cover layer may include a large chamfer between a top face and a side face, defining a chamfered face extending a perimeter of the cover layer. The chamfered face may be angled any number of degrees in a range from one to eighty-nine degrees to a horizontal plane defined by the top face of the cover layer, such that the chamfered face possesses a front-facing portion. The chamfered face may be adhered to a parallel or subparallel interior face of the housing. In such a configuration, an opaque border added to a face opposite of the top face may be imperceptible to a user, resulting in uniformly narrow display bezels.

  • Patent number: 10288890
    Abstract: A system for removably attaching a portable display to a headpiece is described that includes an attachment device configured to receive the portable display. The attachment device includes a mounting base configured to mount to a longitudinal frame member of the headpiece. The mounting base includes a receptacle for receiving a mounting protrusion of the portable display. The attachment device further includes one or more opposing hooks connected to the mounting base. The hooks are configured to receive opposing ends of an elastic band when the elastic band is connected between the hooks and around the longitudinal frame member.
