    Abstract: An electronic device may have a hard disk drive mounted diagonally within a housing. Electromagnetic interference shielding structures may enclose the hard disk drive. The shielding structures may include conductive elastomeric structures. A printed circuit board may be mounted diagonally in parallel with the hard disk drive. Connectors on the printed circuit board may be angled away from the printed circuit board at a non-zero angle and may be retained against the housing with a slide and lock connector retention member. An accelerometer may detect when the device is tipped over so that control circuitry may protect the hard disk drive. A fan may cause air to flow upwards on one side of the device and downwards on the other side of the device. The housing may rest on housing support structures with angled air vents and integral elastomeric feet.

    Abstract: An electrical power adapter employs a magnetically coupled mechanism to retract and deploy prongs used to interface with an electrical receptacle. The magnetically coupled mechanism is linearly displaced by a user, converting the linear displacement to rotary motion, pivoting the retractable prongs between a deployed position and a retracted position. When the retractable prongs are in the deployed position the adapter may be mated with a receptacle and when in the retracted position the adapter has a reduced physical size.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a metal electromagnetic interference shielding enclosure. The enclosure may have a bottom wall, vertical sidewalls that extend upwards from the bottom wall, and a lid that covers the enclosure to define an interior cavity. Power supply components and other electrical components may be mounted within the interior cavity. A printed circuit board on which integrated circuits and other components are mounted may have an upper surface that faces the bottom wall of the enclosure and an opposing lower surface that faces a metal plate. Fence structures may be used to help shield components mounted on the printed circuit. Heat may be dissipated from components on the printed circuit into the bottom wall and into the metal plate. A plastic housing may be used to house the shielding enclosure, printed circuit board, components mounted on the printed circuit board, and the metal plate.

    Abstract: An electrical power adapter has first and second prongs that are retractable and deployable. When the prongs are in the deployed position the adapter may be mated with a receptacle and when in the retracted position the adapter has a reduced physical size. A linkage couples the first prong to the second prongs such that the first and second prongs retract and deploy simultaneously. An actuation mechanism causes the prongs to have a first detent in the deployed position and a second detent in the retracted position.
