A head-mounted device may have a housing with a frame that supports lenses. Each lens may have a positive bias lens element and a negative bias lens element. A waveguide may overlap the lens. During operation, images from the waveguide may be provided to an eye box through the negative bias lens element. An eye sensor such as a gaze tracking camera may operate through the negative bias lens element. The negative bias lens element may have a protruding portion through which the sensor operates, may have a surface facing the sensor that has a curved surface to provide a desired lens characteristic, may have a prism for helping to couple light from the eye box to the eye sensor, and/or may have other features to facilitate use of the eye sensor to monitor the eye of a user in the eye box.

Electronic devices with rearward-facing sensors

A circuit module may include a circuit board and an overmold. The circuit board may have a first surface from which an electronic component extends and a second surface opposite the first surface. The circuit board may be characterized by a width across the circuit board. The circuit board may include a tie-bar residual extending from a sidewall of the circuit board beyond the width across the circuit board. The overmold may at least partially encapsulate the first surface of the circuit board and the second surface of the circuit board. The overmold may extend laterally beyond the width of the circuit board along a length of the circuit board. The overmold may define a region about the tie-bar residual characterized by a first recessed height with respect to the first surface and a second recessed height with respect to the second surface. The overmold may define a notch within the region recessed from an outer edge of the overmold.

Overmolded components having sub-flush residuals

The disclosed technology relates to a dual board-to-board connector battery management circuit module utilizing a switch-back service loop for a battery pack. The management circuit module is coupled to a first and second terminal of a battery pack and includes a first board-to-board connector disposed proximal to a first end of the management circuit module; and a second board-to-board connector disposed proximal to a second end of the management circuit module. The second board-to-board connector is positioned opposite the first board-to-board connector.

Dual board-to-board connector battery management circuit module utilizing a switch-back service loop

Electronics modules according to embodiments of the present technology may include a circuit board having a first surface from which an electronic component extends and a second surface opposite the first surface. The circuit board may include a tie-bar residual extending from a sidewall of the circuit board beyond the width across the first surface. The modules may also include an overmold at least partially encapsulating the circuit board. The overmold may be characterized by a first height extending normal to the first surface of the circuit board across the width of the circuit board. The overmold may extend laterally beyond the width along a length of the first surface. The overmold may define a region about the tie-bar residual characterized by a recessed height. The overmold may define a notch recessed from an outer edge of the overmold. The notch may be located across the tie-bar residual.

Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery cell having an electrode tab extending from an edge of a first side of the battery cell. The battery system may also include a module electrically coupled with the battery cell. The module may include a mold defining a recess along a first side of the module. The module may also include a conductive tab extending from the first side of the module. The conductive tab may be coupled with the electrode tab. The electrode tab may be characterized by a curvature along a length of the electrode tab, and a distal end of the electrode tab may be positioned within the recess defined by the mold.
