Abstract: A system for user authentication can include a wearable device configured to detect an orientation of user's gaze. The wearable device can determine whether the orientation of the user's gaze satisfies a condition based at least in part on the location of a companion device, and transfer information to the companion device in response to determining whether the orientation of the user's gaze satisfies the condition.

Abstract: Head-mountable devices can provide comfortable securement to a head of a user while also providing operative connections for communication across a hinge of the head-mountable device. The securement can be based on an arrangement of spring elements that have biased configurations and allow gentle retraction against a head of the user. Head-mountable devices of the present disclosure can provide adjustable securement against a head of a user by allowing custom fitting, for example with a tensioner.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have displays that provide images. Waveguides may be used in conveying the images to eye boxes. The waveguides may overlap lenses in a glasses frame or other head-mounted support structure. The waveguides and lenses may be transparent. This allows real-world objects to be viewed from the eye boxes. Infrared-light reflectors may overlap the lenses. Gaze tracking system light sources may supply infrared light that reflects from the infrared-light reflectors to the eye boxes to illuminate a user's eyes. Gaze tracking system cameras capture gaze tracking images of the eyes from the eye boxes to track the user's gaze. Fiducials associated with the infrared-light reflectors may be monitored using the gaze tracking system cameras. This allows components such as the gaze tracking system cameras to be calibrated.

Abstract: A head-mounted device can be operated with another device and/or object for which information is gathered to facilitate visual display of a representation thereof. An object can be provided with indicators that allow a head-mounted device to determine both an identity and a characteristic (e.g., position, orientation, distance, etc.) of the object. Additionally or alternatively, the head-mounted device can determine both an identity and a characteristic (e.g., position, orientation, distance, etc.) of an electronic device attached to an object for producing a virtual representation of the object. Additionally or alternatively, the head-mounted device can receive data from an electronic device attached to an object for producing a virtual representation of the object. The virtual representation of the object can resemble the physical object, even where the object itself is not independently analyzed.

Abstract: Board-to-board connectors are disclosed. The board to board connectors include a plurality of external connection structures, and a plurality of receptacle contacts. Each receptacle contact may be coupled to a corresponding external connection structure. Each receptacle contact may include an opening for receiving a plug contact for a corresponding plug side board-to-board connector, and an engaging feature where at least a portion of the engaging feature extends into a portion of the opening. The opening may have a receptacle alignment feature designed to correspond with a plug alignment feature on the plug side board-to-board connector.
