Various circuit board systems and methods of use and manufacture thereof are disclosed. A circuit board system can have a first circuit board including a substrate and a first component susceptible to electromagnetic interference carried by the substrate. The system can also include a second circuit board including a second substrate, and a shield engaged to the substrate of the first component, the shield at least partially covering the first component and being configured to protect the first component from electromagnetic interference, wherein the shield couples the substrate of the first circuit board to the substrate of the second circuit board.

Circuit systems

A hinge assembly mounted on a housing of form part of an electronic device includes a metal hinge base extending through a mounting hole in a wall of the housing, the hinge base being connected in heat transfer relationship to a metal anchor plate on an inner side of the housing wall. The anchor plate additionally serves as a mounting base for heat-generating electronics inside the housing, the heat-generating electronics being in heat transfer relationship with the anchor plate, so that the anchor plate and the hinge base together form part of a heat transfer path conducting heat from the interior of the housing to an exterior heatsink provided be and external device component.

Eyewear device hinge assembly

An electronic eyewear device is presented that includes an eyewear body comprising a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user. The frame includes an optical elements section and spaced-apart first and second temples. The eyewear body includes onboard electronic components carried by the eyewear body that comprises a heat source that generates heat during electrically powered operation of the components. A thermal management device that includes a heat sink within a first temple and a thermal coupling disposed within the first temple and is thermally coupled to the heat source and the heat sink and receives heat from the heat source.

Eyewear device with thermal management device

A case for an eyewear device includes a body defining an opening leading to a storage chamber that is sized for retaining the eyewear device. A cover depends from the body and is movable between an open position, in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position, in which the opening is covered by the cover. A battery is mounted to the body for charging the eyewear device. A detector is positioned on either the body or the cover for detecting when the cover is in the open position or the closed position. A display displays a charge state of the battery when the cover is in the open position.

Eyewear device charging case

A hinge assembly mounted on a housing of form part of an electronic device includes a metal hinge member having a hinge post that extends through a mounting hole in a wall of the housing, the hinge post being connected to a metal anchor plate on an inner side of the housing wall to be rotationally and axially fast with the anchor plate. The anchor plate may has an area multiple times the size of a footprint of the hinge member, with fastening the hinge post and the anchor plate in some embodiments being by a welded connection.

A case for an electronics-enabled eyewear device includes a body defining an opening leading to a storage chamber that is sized for retaining the eyewear device. A cover depends from the body and is movable between an open position, in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position, in which the opening is covered by the cover. A battery is mounted to the body for charging the electronics-enabled eyewear device. A detector is positioned on either the body or the cover for detecting when the cover is in the open position or the closed position. A display displays a charge state of the battery when the cover is in the open position.
