Abstract: A head mountable electronic device can include a display frame, a display window secured to the display frame, and a fixed portion extending distally from the display frame, the fixed portion including a proximal end adjacent the display window, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and an electronic component. The head mountable electronic device can also include a securement arm, the securement arm including a hinge segment rotatably coupling the securement arm with the proximal end of the fixed portion and an elongated member extending distally from the hinge.

Abstract: A head-mountable electronic device can include a viewing frame and a securement arm extending from the viewing frame. The securement arm can include a proximal portion connected to the viewing frame with a first electronic component disposed within the proximal portion and a distal portion attached to the proximal portion with an extendable connector. The distal portion can include a second electronic component. An electrical cable can extend through the connector and electrically connect the first electronic component and the second electronic component.

Abstract: A head-mountable electronic device can include a viewing frame, a window secured to the viewing frame, a waveguide configured to direct light displayed at the window, and a pair of securement arms extending distally from the viewing frame. Each securement arm of the pair of securement arms can include a splay hinge and a proximal portion connected to the viewing frame at the splay hinge, the proximal portion having a splay range of motion up to 20 degrees outward from a default position and relative to the viewing frame. The splay hinge can apply a force of the proximal portion against a head between 50 Nmm and 90 Nmm within the splay range of motion.

Abstract: An additively manufactured component has an additively manufactured substrate and an inclusion. The substrate has a first region and a second region defining a first contour and a second contour, respectively. One or both of the first contour and the second contour is non-planar. The inclusion is positioned between the first region and the second region. The inclusion has a first major surface conforming to the first contour. The inclusion also has a second major surface. The second major surface can conform to the second contour. The inclusion can be a cavity, and the substrate can enclose the cavity or the cavity can be in open communication with an environment surrounding the substrate. The inclusion can be a member or an assembly of plural members. Modules and electronic devices incorporating an additively manufactured component also are described.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a head-mountable electronic device) can include a viewing frame and a securement arm extending from the viewing frame. The securement arm can include a first portion, a joint, and a second portion coupled to the first portion at the joint. The second portion can have a resting position. The securement arm can further include a biasing member providing a biasing force resisting a movement of the second portion relative to the first portion, such as resisting a rotation of the second portion away from the frame. The biasing member can be configured to resist a movement of the second portion away from the resting position. The securement arm can further include an adjustment member configured to adjust the biasing force. The biasing member can have a preload, and the adjustment member can be configured to adjust the preload. Additional systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a head-mountable electronic device) can include a frame and a securement arm extending from the frame. The securement arm can include multiple arm segments and multiple joints interconnecting the arm segments. The arm segments can include a proximal arm segment coupled to the frame, a distal arm segment, and at least one intermediate arm segment between the proximal arm segment and the distal arm segment. Each joint can include adjacent first and second arm segments. Each joint can further include a biasing member configured to provide a biasing force resisting a relative movement between the first arm segment and the second arm segment. The biasing member can be configured to resist an outward rotation of one of the first arm segment or the second arm segment away from the viewing frame. Additional systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The head mountable electronic device can include a display frame and a securement arm extending from the display frame. The securement arm can include a proximal segment including a first contact feature, a distal segment including a second contact feature, the proximal segment disposed between the distal segment and the display frame, and a joint, the distal segment rotatably coupled to the proximal segment at the joint, wherein an interior side of the securement arm defines a interior radius of curvature and an exterior side of the securement arm opposite the interior side defines an exterior radius of curvature, the exterior radius of curvature being greater than the interior radius of curvature.
