Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one screen. One or more bumpers are moveable between at least a stowed position where the bumper is flush or below the screen and a deployed position where at least a portion of the bumper projects above the screen. One or more sensors detect when the electronic device is subject to one or more drop events. When a drop event is detected, the bumper moves to the deployed position, protecting the screen. In various implementations, the bumper may be moveable by a push-push mechanism or a magnet assisted actuator mechanism. In other implementations, the bumper may include piezoelectric material to which voltage can be applied to move the bumper.

Abstract: A method for selectively granting access to an access-controlled space includes obtaining an image of the person requesting access using a camera that is located inside the access-controlled space, and permitting an authorized user of the access-controlled space to grant authorization using the image.
