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.

Systems and methods for controlling thermal energy between hinged portions of electronic devices

A method, for detecting a press button action in a headset and assessing the user intention thereof is provided. The method includes receiving a force data from a force sensor in a headset, a capacitive data from a capacitive sensor in the headset, an inertial data from an inertial sensor in the headset, and a location data from a face sensor in the headset; combining the force data, the capacitive data, the inertial data, and the location data to assess a user intention; and determining whether to accept or reject a button press action on the headset based on the user intention. A headset including a memory storing instructions to cause a processor to cause the headset to perform the above method are also provided.

Thermal hinge system

A disclosed system may include (1) an artificial-reality display dimensioned to be worn by a user, the artificial-reality display comprising (A) a battery and (B) at least one recipient charging element, and (2) a charging case dimensioned to accommodate the artificial-reality display, the charging case comprising (A) at least one source charging element configured to interface with the recipient charging element of the artificial-reality display to facilitate charging the battery of the artificial-reality display and (B) at least one alignment guide that forces the recipient charging element of the artificial-reality display to energizingly couple with the source charging element of the charging case. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
