Abstract:
A host computer is provided with a main display unit and an auxiliary display unit. The host computer can free up screen space on the main display screen by routing certain types of display information to the auxiliary display unit for display. Display information can range from notification of events such as receipt of email, appointments, system messages, and information from separate applications. The auxiliary display panel may function as a user interface for audio, video, “push information”, MP3 player or become the hardware equivalent of a multimedia player. The auxiliary display panel may be integrated together with the host computer in the same physical structure or may be part of a standalone display unit that is wired or wirelessly coupled to the host computer.

Abstract:
An expansion module latch mechanism including an expansion module and a latch release is described. The expansion module has a recess for receiving a retaining latch external to the expansion module for retaining the expansion module positioned with respect to an expansion module sleeve. The latch release is attached to the expansion module for expelling a retained latch from the recess. An expansion module bay latch mechanism for retaining an expansion module positioned with respect to a module sleeve is described. The expansion module bay latch mechanism has a module sleeve having a latch clip positioned on a side wall of the module sleeve. The latch clip includes a latch adapted to interfit with a recess in an expansion module and a paddle connected to the latch which, in response to contact with the expansion module, urges the latch into the recess.
Abstract:
An expansion module usable as an internal and external device is described. The module defines an interior volume, a recess for receiving a retaining latch external to the module for retaining the module positioned with respect to an expansion module sleeve, and at least two throughholes to the module interior and an alignment receptacle at one end of the module. The module includes a latch release attached to the module for expelling a retained latch from the recess, and an interface device positioned in the module interior volume, and receiving a) a standard data connector via one of the at least two throughholes and b) a power connector via another of the at least two throughholes, and including one or more expansion device connectors internal to the module interior volume for providing at least one of data signals and power received from the standard data connector and the power connector to an expansion device.
