Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to location-based haptic direction finding are described. In an embodiment, logic (e.g., included in a mobile computing device) redirects one or more navigational hints to one or more trembler devices instead of a display device and/or speakers of the mobile computing device in response to a request to provide haptic directional cues. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
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 an electronic device may include a housing, a first leg portion having a first hinge portion coupled to the housing, a second leg portion having a second hinge portion coupled to the housing, and a gear mechanism configured to couple the first hinge portion to the second hinge portion. Rotation of the first hinge portion about a first axis to move the first leg portion in a first arc causes a corresponding rotation of the second hinge portion about a second axis to move the second leg portion in a second arc.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to integration of force transducer into a mobile computing device to measure weight are described. In an embodiment, logic receives a load detection signal from one or more load sensors coupled to the mobile computing device. The one or more load sensors may be integrated into a chassis of the mobile computing device. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
The electronic device having a base in the form of an outer support frame is provided. The electronic device may include a base in the form of an outer support frame, the base having an opening extending therethrough formed by the outer support frame; a keyboard disposed within at least a portion of the opening and supported by the outer support frame; and a display attached to the base. The display may be slidably attached to the base. Further, the display may include a touchscreen.
Abstract:
A multiple mode display apparatus and methods of use. An apparatus includes a display surface with a first and a second display area. A housing pivotally attached with the display proximate a first edge of the housing is displaceable from a coplanar position with the surface of the display device to a position wherein an angle of at least 90 degrees between the surface of the display and the housing is formed along said first edge. In the first position, the first display area is visible and activated to receive user input or to display output. The second display area is covered by the housing and placed in a mode of reduced power consumption. In the second position, the second display area is visible and activated to display output.
