    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer, laptop, or tablet that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of a docking base comprises a base housing including at least one alignment pin disposed within the base housing. Each of the at least one alignment pin is configured to engage a corresponding alignment pin receptacle of a device housing of an electronic device. The base housing further includes an attachment mechanism coupled to the at least one first alignment pin, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to cause the at least one first alignment pin to extend at least partially from the base housing when the device housing is within a predetermined proximity of the base housing.

    Abstract: A frictional hinge assembly for use with electronics devices such as computer notebooks having base and lid portions may present a higher level of frictional resistance to rotation in one direction than in the other. The hinge may comprise a base-mounted helical sleeve having loops that embrace a rotational shaft that is connected to a lid. As the lid is opened, the rotation of the shaft may cause the loops of the helical sleeve to tighten and thereby generate frictional forces, which requires a greater opening force to overcome than when the lid is being closed, in which case the loops loosen. The helical hinge may have applicability for notebook computers, electronic devices having clamshell form factors, all-in-one designs and tablets using kickstands and the like.

    Abstract: A land-grid array die package socket is configured for low- or zero insertion-force assembly with a land-grid array die package. For zero insertion-force assembly, a motion plate applies a force on a land-grid array contact that causes a contact tip to move into protective cover while the die package is inserted into the socket. After zero insertion-force assembly, the motion plate applies a force on the land-grid array contact that causes the contact tip to deflect in a positive-Z direction until a useful contact is made at the contact tip with a land-grid array pad.

    Abstract: A wireless gimbal connection of use with electronics devices such as computer notebooks relatively pivotable portions such as a lid and base. The gimbal includes a carriage on which transmitter and receiver chips are mounted, and further has a magnet whose magnetic forces may be used to bring the gimbaled carriage into a predetermined alignment with the base, which may be used to arrange the chips and any sensors as may be used into alignment as well. As the orientation of the lid varies with respect to the base, the carriage within seeks alignment with the base due to the magnetic forces present. Where the base is located on a flat surface, gravitational forces also contribute to the alignment.
