    Abstract: Support systems and stands for electronic devices include tilt hinges, lift arms, and their component parts. Some tilt hinges include assemblies for guiding and retaining bars or protrusions into preferred positioning within receiver openings to unify the parts, particularly as they move, and to reduce wobble or slop in the joints. Lift arms provide simplified and low-cost guidance and counterbalance mechanisms for controlling movement of the electronic device relative to the base of a stand. In some cases, the lift arms have sheaths to help protect or cover mechanisms while allowing additional space for the mechanisms within the lift arm. Other interconnection systems hide and protect a connector interface between the stand and the electronic device within a housing until unlocked and the connector is moved into an exposed position. These systems improve efficiency, comfort, ergonomics, accessibility, and user satisfaction of the electronic devices and their supports.

    Abstract: A portable computing device having a substantially non-conducting outer housing and alternative electrical grounding and audio system architectures is disclosed. The device can be a laptop computer having a main logic board, a keyboard assembly, an audio source positioned below the keyboard assembly, and an equalizer electrically coupled to the audio source, with each of these components being electrically coupled to a universal grounding structure. The audio source emits sound waves that are propagated through the keyboard assembly and between gaps between keyboard keys and the outer housing. Settings for the equalizer can be selected to account for sound absorption and amplification characteristics of the sound waves along these sound transmission paths. The universal grounding structure includes a plurality of separate ground components that are electrically intercoupled, each being substantially smaller than the overall portable computing device, and also includes an electromagnetic interference shield around the main logic board.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种具有基本不导电的外壳和替代的电接地和音频系统结构的便携式计算设备。 该装置可以是具有主逻辑板,键盘组件,位于键盘组件下方的音频源以及电耦合到音频源的均衡器的笔记本电脑,其中每个部件电耦合到通用接地结构。 音频源发出通过键盘组件传播的声波,以及键盘键和外壳之间的间隙。 可以选择均衡器的设置以考虑沿着这些声音传播路径的声波的吸声和放大特性。 通用接地结构包括电互相耦合的多个单独的接地部件,每个独立的接地部件均小于整个便携式计算设备,并且还包括围绕主逻辑板的电磁干扰屏蔽。
