Abstract: Examples herein relate to a hinge. In some examples, a hinge can include a first bracket connected to a shaft, a second bracket connected to the first bracket, a member connected to the shaft and magnetically attracted to a magnet at a first position, where the member translates relative to the magnet to a second position as the shaft rotates about an axis of the shaft, and the magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force between the member and the magnet, where the magnetic attraction force is higher at the second position than the first position.

Abstract: Examples of a hinge for foldable components are described herein. In an example, the hinge can include a plurality of bracing elements, a bracing element from the plurality of bracing elements can be operably coupled to an adjacent bracing element from the plurality of bracing elements, to fold the plurality of bracing elements into an arcuate shape. Each bracing element can be supported and locked against the adjacent bracing element in the arcuate shape. The hinge can further include an end coupler at each longitudinal end of the hinge to couple the hinge to a flexible element.

Abstract: In an example, a device includes a base unit, a cover unit, and a hinge assembly to couple the cover unit to the base unit The hinge assembly is moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position. The hinge assembly includes a channel, an annular holder disposed in the channel, a shaft engaged with the annular holder, and a hydraulic cylinder coupled to the shaft. The hydraulic cylinder is to move the shaft along a longitudinal axis of the shaft, based on a movement of the hinge assembly between the folded position and the unfolded position, to vary an operating torque of the hinge assembly.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to hinge connectors with rotation control units. In an example, a hinge connector may couple a base unit with a cover unit of a device. The hinge connector includes hinge shaft. The rotation control unit is to control the rotation of the hinge shaft and stop a free-rotation of the hinge shaft at a predefined angle with respect to the base unit.
