| 20090179435 | Computing device latching assembly - A computing device latching assembly comprises a latching member configured to releasably secure an accessory to a computing device, and a release mechanism actuatable to move the latching member from a locking position to an unlocked position and to cause the latching member to urge the accessory away from the computing device. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100211919 | RENDERING OBJECT ICONS ASSOCIATED WITH A FIRST OBJECT ICON UPON DETECTING FINGERS MOVING APART - A method comprises detecting two fingers touching a first object icon on a touch sensitive display and then moving in generally opposing directions. The first object icon is associated with on or more constituent elements. In response to such detecting, the method causes additional object icons to appear on the display. Each additional object icon represents a constituent element of the first object icon. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100238621 | INSERT-MOLDED CONDUCTOR - A display housing includes an injection-molded enclosure, configured for attachment to a base of a portable computer at a hinge region, and a conductor, insert-molded into the enclosure, extending from the hinge region. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100317203 | COMPUTING DEVICES HAVING POP-OUT CONNECTOR PORT ARRAYS - A pop-out connector port array for provision in a computing device. The array includes an extensible connector port array member that can be transitioned from an initial retracted position in which the array member is contained within the computing device to an extended position in which the array member extends outward from the computing device, the array member comprising multiple integrated connector ports that are accessible when the array member is in the extended position. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100321882 | Computing Device Locking Mechanisms - A locking mechanism includes a release button, a pivot shaft on which the release button is provided, a locking element fixedly mounted on the pivot shaft, and a stop member that is aligned with the locking element when the locking mechanism is in a locked position, wherein contact between the locking element and the stop member prevents pivoting of the locking element and the pivot shaft but depression of the release button moves the locking element clear of the stop member to enable pivoting of the pivot shaft. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110013350 | Friction Mechanisms For Computing Devices - A friction mechanism for use in a computing device having a base portion and a display portion. In one embodiment, the friction mechanism includes a shaft adapted to be supported by the base portion of the computing device and having ends adapted to be fixedly secured to the display portion of the computing device, a brake disk mounted on the shaft, and a brake pad in contact with the brake disk that resists rotation of the brake disk such that the brake disk, the shaft on which the brake disk is mounted, and the display portion to which the shaft is fixedly secured cannot freely pivot relative to the base portion of the computing device. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110110031 | Apparatuses And Methods For Dissipating Heat From A Computer Component - Heat dissipation apparatus for dissipating heat generated by a heat-generating component mounted to a circuit board. In one embodiment, the heat dissipation apparatus includes a thermally-conductive heat sink adapted to be placed in contact with the heat-generating component, a bracket adapted to hold the heat sink in place relative to the heat-generating component, and a single coil spring mounted to the bracket adapted to urge the heat sink into contact with the heat-generating component. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110121776 | Notebook Computer Charging Systems - In one embodiment, a support tray that may be used in a notebook computer charging system includes a body adapted to support a power adapter, and a platform extending out from the body, the platform being adapted to support a notebook computer. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110136355 | Port Attached To Flexible Mount - A system including a flexible mount that can be coupled to a computing device. A port can be attached to the flexible mount. The flexible mount can conform to the chassis of the computing device. | 06-09-2011 |
