摘要:
Carrier device for placement of thermal interface materials. At least some embodiments are systems including a first electrical component that defines a first surface at a first elevation relative to an underlying structure, a second electrical component that defines a second surface at a second elevation relative to the underlying structure, a metallic member configured to conduct heat from the electrical components, and a carrier between the electrical components and the metallic member. The carrier includes a third and fourth surface configured to mate with the first and second surfaces, respectively, a first aperture through the third surface, and a second aperture through the fourth surface. The system further includes a first thermal interface material coupled between the first electrical component and the metallic member through the first aperture, and a second thermal interface material coupled between the second electrical component and the metallic member through the second aperture.

摘要:
Systems and methods for minimizing the transmission and reception of electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) are provided. A member having first and second sides and at least one edge can be formed to correspond to the interior of an enclosure. At least one aperture can penetrate the member from the first side to the second side, forming at least one internal edge. A conductive layer can be disposed on or about the first side, the second side, the at least one edge, and the at least one internal edge of the member, thereby encapsulating the member.
摘要:
A configurable portable computing device having a first display panel and a second display panel, a first user input device and a second user input device. Where the second user input device is incorporated into the second display panel and the first user input device being selectively mountable over the second display panel or detached from the computing device.
摘要:
A friction mechanism for use in a computing device having a base portion and a display portion. In one embodiment, the friction mechanism includes a shaft adapted to be supported by the base portion of the computing device and having ends adapted to be fixedly secured to the display portion of the computing device, a brake disk mounted on the shaft, and a brake pad in contact with the brake disk that resists rotation of the brake disk such that the brake disk, the shaft on which the brake disk is mounted, and the display portion to which the shaft is fixedly secured cannot freely pivot relative to the base portion of the computing device.
