    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The housing may include a chassis with left and right openings that overlap respective left and right optical modules that present images eye boxes. Each optical module may have a lens and display that presents an image through the lens. The chassis may have an inner frame and outer frame. A middle portion of the chassis may form a stiffened nose bridge structure. Components in the housing such as a display, a fan housing, a heat sink layer, optical module guide rods, and a rear cover may span the width of the housing and may be attached to edge portions of the chassis, thereby forming a box-shaped structure that provides rigidity and helps prevent housing deformation.

    Abstract: A system includes a compressor that receives air from a source and is configured to supply compressed air, a first system that is configured to receive the compressed air, and a second system that is configured to receive the compressed air. In first control mode, a first control valve blocks flow of compressed air to the first system and a second control valve allows flow of compressed air from to the second system. In a second control mode, the second control valve allows flow of the compressed air from the second system to a dryer along, and the first control valve allows flow of the compressed air from the dryer to the first system.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a display with first and second pixel arrays that display content for a user. A head-mounted support structure in the device supports the pixel arrays on the head of the user. A left positioner may be used to position a left lens module that includes a left lens and the first pixel array. A right positioner may be used to position a right lens module that includes a right lens and the second pixel array. Sensing circuitry such as proximity sensing circuitry may be used to detect relative positions between the left and right lens modules and facing surfaces of a user's nose while the user is wearing the head-mounted support structure. Control circuitry may adjust the positions of the left and right lens modules using interpupillary distance information for the user and using information from the sensing circuitry.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. The optical assemblies may be movable relative to one another. The head-mounted device may include one or more nose tracking sensors for tracking a location of the nose relative to the optical assemblies and/or for detecting changes in the topographical surface of the nose as the optical assemblies are adjusted. The nose tracking sensor may be used to determine when the optical assemblies are too close to the user's nose or face. The nose tracking sensor may be mounted in the lens barrel, may be formed from gaze tracking components, may be formed from a dedicated sensor, or may be mounted outside of the lens barrel and may gather nose measurements through a nose bridge portion of a light seal.

    Abstract: A system includes a source that provides air, a first compressor stage that receives the air from the source and is configured to compress the air to a first pressure, and a second compressor stage that receives the air from the first compressor stage and is configured to compress the air to a second pressure. The system also includes a first component, a second component, valves that control flow of the air, and a controller that is configured to control the valves according to a first control mode, in which the air is supplied to the first component by the first compressor stage, and a second control mode, in which the air is supplied to the second component by the second compressor stage.
