Abstract: Optical assemblies may include a projector assembly, a waveguide, and a mounting mechanism. The projector assembly may be configured for generating an image, and the waveguide may be configured for transmitting the image to a location in front of a user's eye. The mounting mechanism may removably couple the waveguide to an underlying frame. The mounting mechanism may include a detachable coupling, at least one flexure secured to a peripheral edge of the waveguide, and at least one flexure support coupled to the at least one flexure. The flexure support may be removably secured to the detachable coupling by a removable retainer. Various other related systems, methods, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system to conduct thermal energy between two hinged portions of an electric device. In examples, the method employs a thermal hinge system configured to transfer or spread thermal energy, and optionally electrical energy, through a mechanical articulation or hinge in an electronic device. A thermal hinge may include a thermally conductive living hinge, complementary and/or mating thermal interface components, or a combination of both.
