    Abstract: A connector includes: a connector body having an outer end and an opposing inner end, the connector body supported by a housing of a first device, wherein the outer end is exposed to an exterior of the housing and the inner end is placed within an interior of the housing; a signal conductor extending between the inner end and the outer end to engage with a complementary connector of a second device; a conductive resiliently deformable sleeve extending between the inner end and the outer end of the connector body, wherein the conductive resiliently deformable sleeve: (i) defines an electrically isolating shield that substantially encloses the signal conductor from the inner end to the outer end, and (ii) forms a seal against the second device encircling the signal conductor and the complementary connector.

    Abstract: A computing device includes: a housing having an exterior wall, the exterior wall defining a chamber; an access door movably coupled to the housing between a closed position enclosing the chamber, and an open position exposing the chamber to an exterior of the computing device; a latch movable between a locked position to retain the access door in the closed position, and an unlocked position to permit movement of the access door; and a bias element configured to apply a force to an interior of the access door to move the access door from the closed position to an intermediate position between the open and closed positions, in response to transition of the latch from the locked position to the unlocked position.

    Abstract: An input assembly for a computing device includes: an input device; a mounting body coupled to the input device; a blade member affixed to the mounting body, the blade member configured for insertion into a slot of the computing device, wherein the slot includes a transverse recess; a latch disposed within the blade member, the latch having a head carrying a magnet, the latch coupled to the mounting body movably between (i) an engaged position to place the head in the recess and obstruct withdrawal of the latch from the slot, and (ii) a retracted position to withdraw the head from the recess; and wherein the latch is biased towards the engaged position via attraction between the magnet and a magnetic material of the transverse recess.
