    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a display that displays content for a user. Head-mounted support structures in the device support the device on the head of the user. A non-removable lens system may be supported by the head-mounted support structures. The head-mounted support structures may be configured to receive a removable supplemental lens system. The removable supplemental lens system may be used to customize the head-mounted display to accommodate the user's vision. Information such as information on the optical characteristics of the removable supplemental lens system and the user's eyeglass prescription may be stored in the removable supplemental lens system using bar codes, text, programmable memory, or other data storage. When the removable supplemental lens system is installed in the head-mounted device, control circuitry in the head-mounted device may retrieve the stored information. A gaze tracker system or other sensors may be used in retrieving the stored information.

    Abstract: This application relates to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus to manage uplink (UL) transmit switching with multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) for wireless devices. A wireless device is configured to select N≥2 radio frequency carriers for UL transmission from M>N available radio frequency carriers and subsequently send UL transmissions to a cellular wireless network based on the configuration. The M available radio frequency carriers are divided into distinct TAGs, each TAG having a distinct timing advance value, and the N radio frequency carriers belong to a single TAG. The wireless device is further configured to switch to a second set of N UL radio frequency carriers, after an uplink switching gap time period, based on a TAG medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), received the cellular wireless network, which specifies a second TAG from which to select the second set of N UL radio frequency carriers.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may have displays that display images for a user. The images are viewable from eye boxes while the head-mounted device is being worn by the user. A head strap may be removably coupled to the head-mounted housing to help hold the displays in position during operation of the head-mounted device. The head strap and head-mounted housing may have wireless power circuitry and communications circuitry. The wireless power circuitry may be used to transmit power from a battery in the head strap to the head-mounted housing. The communications circuitry may include wireless radio-frequency circuitry and/or optical circuitry that allow the head strap to convey wireless data to the head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may also transmit power and/or data to the strap.
