Abstract: A head-mounted device can effectively manage heat while also managing noise output in a manner that reduces the user's perception thereof. For example, a support member extending across a flow channel can provide multiple sections with different profiles and/or cross-sectional dimensions within the flow channel. Each of the profiles and/or cross-sectional dimensions can generate tonal noises at different frequencies, so that the tonal noises generated are distributed across multiple frequencies to mask such tonal noises among broadband noises that are generated by the head-mounted device. Such a support member can be moveably positioned within the flow channel and rigidly coupled to other components of the head-mounted device. Such a support member can also be used to draw heat away from other components of the head-mounted device to be dissipated by the flow of air within the flow channel.

Abstract: A head-mounted device includes a housing configured to be worn on a head of a user. The housing includes an inlet port and an outlet port. An air circulation device is mounted to the housing and configured to produce a flow of air through an air flow path in the housing that extends from the inlet port to the outlet port. A display assembly is mounted to the housing and has a surface in the air flow path of the housing. An air deflector mounted to the surface of the display assembly and configured to reduce a turbulence of the flow of air through the air flow path.

Abstract: An assembly for a consumer product, such as a wristwatch or other wearable electronic device, can securely retain a cover member against a housing of the product. A retaining member from within the housing can engage and secure the cover member to provide a fluid barrier. The cover member can include a window or other components of a sensor device. The parts can be easily disassembled without causing permanent damage.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes a heatsink, an electrical circuit mounted on the heatsink, and a chassis. A plurality of heat-insulating connectors mounting the heatsink to the chassis at a first plurality of mount points, and a plurality of heat-conducting connectors mounting the heatsink to the chassis at a second plurality of mount points. The first plurality of mount points are located closer to the electrical circuit mounted on the heatsink than the second plurality of mount points.

Abstract: A frame can support components of a head-mountable device. The frame can include a frame body that is curved to fit a user's face. The frame body can include a forehead body portion, an orbital body portion, and a bridge body portion. Each body portion can have a cross-sectional profile that has an outer curvature. The outer curvature of each of the cross-sectional profiles can be difference. Further, the frame body can transition in profile between the different cross-sectional profiles.
