A wearable computing device includes: a wearable housing; a display assembly supported by the housing and switchable between (i) an active configuration to occlude an optical path between an operator field of view and an exterior of the wearable computing device, and (ii) a fail-safe configuration to clear the optical path; and a mitigation subsystem including an actuator controllable to switch the display assembly from the active configuration to the fail-safe configuration in response to detection of a display failure condition.

Failure mitigation apparatus for wearable display devices

A rechargeable battery includes a housing having an external surface including a user interface region. A battery cell within the housing is characterized by a charging status, a state of charge, and a state of health. A processor disposed within the housing determines and/or stores the charging status as well as one or more of the state of charge and the state of health of the battery cell. The user interface region provides a plurality of visual components configured to provide a plurality of visual cues relating to the charging status, the state of charge, and the state of health of the battery cell. The plurality of visual components may include a persistent display, an on-demand display, and an input component. The input component may be used to select the manner in which the visual cues are provided.

User interface for rechargeable batteries

A system for a supplemental power source for a hand held portable electronic device is provided. A super capacitor is connected in parallel to a main battery of the portable electronic device. When the main battery becomes disconnected, the super capacitor is used to power the portable electronic device. The super capacitor is also used to provide compensation for the internal impedance of the main battery and the path impedance between the main battery and the load.
