Various examples described herein relate to an HMD which comprises an HMD body positioned against a face of a user which includes an IMU to track user location data in an environment. The HMD also comprises a detachable headband assembly including a tracking feature module to construct a map of the environment based on the user location data. The HMD further includes a mechanical mount feature attaching the detachable headband assembly to the HMD body. The mechanical mount feature includes a connection interface to exchange the user location data between the IMU in the HMD body and the tracking feature module in the detachable headband assembly.

A band for securing an electronic device to a user may include a monolithic band body having proximal and distal ends for coupling to a body of the electronic device. The monolithic band body may include an elastic material that is elastically stretchable between (1) a fitted mode where the electronic device is secured to a limb of the user, and (2) a stretched mode for fitting over the limb of the user.

Highly elastic composites and constructions for continuous watch band design

A watch band for a watch can include an antenna that is operable for wireless communication with other devices. The antenna can be embedded within a body of the watch band to protect the antenna from an external environment and to conceal it from view. The antennas can adaptably stretch, bend, and flex with the watch band body, thereby avoiding damage from applied forces while also maintaining the compliance and comfort of the watch band while worn by a user.

Antenna assemblies for watch bands

Systems and methods of providing a composite material that is bendable but substantially resists stretching under tension. One embodiment may take the form of a composite material formed by over-molding a woven glass fiber with silicone. The woven glass fiber may be rolled out with a silicon polymer melted into the woven fabric as the rolling process continues. The composite of the two materials may provide a material that bends easily but does not substantially stretch.

Flexibility-controlled composite material and method of manufacture

Example implementations relate to detection circuits. In one example, a detection circuit includes a power supply, a transistor coupled to the power supply, a port coupled via the transistor to the power supply, where the port is to transmit power received via the transistor from the power supply to a corresponding port included in an external device when the corresponding port is coupled to the port, and a detection circuit to detect a voltage between the port and the corresponding port when the port is coupled to the corresponding port and interrupt, via the transistor, power supplied to the port when the detected voltage satisfies a threshold voltage.

Detection circuits

A computing system for supporting a plurality of different types of memory devices includes a memory voltage regulator. The memory voltage regulator adjusts a supply voltage to a requisite voltage for a detected memory device based on serial presence detect (SPD) data. The computing system further includes a memory controller that supports a plurality of types of memory devices. The memory controller receives data regarding the type of the detected memory device, and controls input/output signals relative to the type of the detected memory device based on the SPD data and the GPIO data of the detected memory device.

Supporting different types of memory devices based on serial presense detect

A magnetic band clasp includes a female clasp assembly of a first band segment and a male clasp assembly of a second band segment. The female clasp assembly defines one or more cavities with one or more magnetic elements disposed underneath. The male clasp assembly includes a projection that may include a magnetic element. Magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements couples the first and second band segments when the projection is positioned in the cavity. In implementations where the female clasp assembly includes multiple cavities, changing which of the cavities the projection is positioned in adjusts a combined coupled length of the first and second band segments.

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to enabling or disabling a port by writing to a reset write-once register. A boot process for a device is initiated. The reset write-once register is set, during the boot process, to disable or enable the port.

Disabling communication ports

An electrode array printer has a housing, an image roller, and a plurality of developer modules. Each of the developer modules has an electrode array printhead, a toner cartridge and a developer roller. The electrode array printhead is installed on a side surface of the image roller for emitting an electron array onto the side surface of the image roller to form an electrostatic image. The developer roller is capable of attracting toner contained in a corresponding toner cartridge. The electrostatic image formed on the side surface of the image roller is capable of attracting toner from a developer roller corresponding to the electrode array printhead when the image roller rotates to a position where the electrostatic image is adjacent to the developer roller. The printer further includes a transfer roller, a fuser and a toner blade.
