Abstract:
In one embodiment, a device (100) having a first portion (102) and a second portion (104), the first or second portion being pivotably adjustable in two directions to reveal the other of the first or second portion, has a biaxially pivotable hinge (106) and a disengagable uniaxially pivotable hinge (108). The biaxially pivotable hinge (106) interconnects the first and second portions (102, 104). The uniaxially pivotable hinge (108) is capable of selectively (a) interconnecting the first and second portions (102, 104) and (b) releasing connection between the first and second portions (102, 104), the selectivity being dependent upon relative rotational position of the first portion (102) and the second portion (104) about the uniaxially pivotable hinge (108).
Abstract:
A method for making a labeled business form comprising a paper web having thereon a full length adhesive band covered by a release liner where the width of the release liner is substantially equal to or greater than the width of the adhesive band and where the adhesive band has a width less than the width of the paper web. The method includes die cutting the paper web to form individual labels, neutralizing any adhesive extending beyond the release liner, and transversely cutting the paper-adhesive-liner combination to form individual business forms.
Abstract:
A display system is disclosed. The display system includes a processor. The display system also includes a first display device having a first display surface and receiving display data from the processor. The display system also includes a second displayed device having a display area smaller then the first display device and moveable over the surface of the first display device. The display system also includes a sensor in communication with the processor and communicating location data to the processor. The location data is representative of the relative location of the first display to the second display. Further still, the display system includes a program running on the processor and providing display data to the first and second display devices. The display data is provided to the second display device based on the location data.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided, which includes first housing, a first electronic element incorporated into the first housing, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing, and a second electronic element incorporated into the second housing. A connective member couples the first electronic element to the second electronic element. The connective member includes a rolling flexible segment contained substantially within the first housing.
Abstract:
A display system for a handheld computing device includes a processing unit having a first communication port, and a visual display unit separable from the processing unit. The visual display unit further includes a visual display, and a second communication port. The display unit can be expanded from an initial or storage state to present a larger visual display size. Further, the first communication port providing communication with the second communication port.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device is disclosed. The portable electronic device includes a housing. The portable electronic device also includes computing electronics that are supported by the housing. The computing electronics include a processor, a display controller coupled to the processor, and memory coupled to the processor. The portable electronic device disclosed also includes an expandable display coupled with a display controller. The expandable display is expandable from a first size to a second size. The first size is different than the second size. A sensor is coupled to the processor. The sensor is configured to provide a signal representative of the size of the display.
