摘要： A composite display is provided having display panels which move into and out of a viewing position. While in the viewing position the display panels form a concatenated display screen. The display panels are stored within a display housing with respective viewing areas being at least partially overlapped to reduce storage space. The display panels automatically move out of the storage position into the viewing position in a notebook computer configuration when opening the computer. Similarly, the display panels automatically move into the storage position when closing the computer. The display unit includes a post. A system unit includes a cam. The cam defines a track within which the post moves. While the display unit rotates from the closed position to the open position the post moves along the track causing a display to move into its viewing position.

摘要： A security mechanism is provided, for use with portable equipment, such as a “notebook” type portable computer, which is to be coupled for use with stationary equipment, such as a port replicator or docking station. The security mechanism includes locking structures, located in complementary positions on the computer and the port replicator, for engaging each other to prevent theft by removal of the computer from the port replicator. The locking structures on the computer are standardized across a line of different computer models, so that the security mechanism is operative regardless of which of the different computer models is docked. Specifically, the locking structures of the various computers within the line of products are in corresponding positions on the computers, relative to the positions the computers occupy when docked. Therefore, the locking structures engage the same way, regardless of which computer of the line of products is docked. The security mechanism is manipulated by the presence of the computer being docked, so that the user is not required to manipulate the security mechanism separately from docking the computer.
摘要翻译： 提供了一种安全机制，用于便携式设备，例如“笔记本”型便携式计算机，其将被耦合用于诸如端口复制器或坞站的固定设备。 安全机制包括位于计算机和端口复制器上的互补位置的锁定结构，用于彼此接合以通过从端口复制器移除计算机来防止盗窃。 计算机上的锁定结构在不同的计算机模型的一行之间被标准化，使得安全机制是可操作的，而不管哪个不同的计算机模型被对接。 具体来说，产品线内的各种计算机的锁定结构相对于计算机在停靠时占据的位置处于计算机上的对应位置。 因此，不管产品线哪个计算机对接，锁定结构都以相同的方式接合。 安全机制由被对接的计算机的存在来操纵，使得用户不需要分离地操纵安全机制以对接计算机。

摘要： The invention provides a single docking station structure which is usable for a set of different pieces of equipment having essentially similar interfaces, such as a manufacturer's line of portable (“notebook” or “laptop”) computer product models. A common first module supports interfaces with peripheral devices or the like. A model-specific second module, second from a set of second modules that correspond with various models from the line of portable computers, is coupled with the first module to support the portable computer. The second module supports the portable computer, so as to interface it directly with the interface on the first module. The second modules, preferably configured as trays for holding the portable computers, are very simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The trays can be stored next to the docking station (like magazines on a bookshelf). An identification system, which labels the different trays and cross-references them to the corresponding portable computers, allows for future changes in the manufacturer's product line, in which a new model of portable computer requires either a new tray or one of the previously existing trays. The invention is advantageous to manufacturers because it reduces the number and variety of docking station products required for use with the manufacturer's portable computers.

摘要： A computer system has a docking station and a portable computer. The docking station has a platform and a housing having a docking connector. The platform has one or more elevated rails. The portable computer has a computer connector, a base unit having a top portion and a bottom portion, a display unit connected to the top portion of said base unit, and one or more recessed grooves on the bottom portion of the base unit. The elevated rail or rails on the docking station interact with the recessed groove or grooves on the portable computer to guide the portable computer into a proper alignment with the housing of the docking station when the portable computer is placed on the platform and slid towards the housing so that the computer connector lines up with and connects to the docking connector. The docking station platform may have side walls or rotatable bumpers on the sides of the platform to provide coarse alignment between the docking station and the portable computer, and to prevent the portable computer from sliding off the platform during the alignment process. Preferably, the recessed groove or grooves are flared at the back edge of the portable computer to further assist in the alignment of the portable computer with the docking station. The docking station of the preferred and alternate embodiments of the invention can accommodate portable computers of different form factors and thus do not need to be replaced each time a new model of a personal computer is released with a different form factor.
