    Abstract: An example shutter assembly for protecting cameras, such as webcams, integrated into computing devices is disclosed. The shutter assembly includes an actuator element and shutter element. The actuator element can rotate an axis to pivot the shutter element into and out of the field of view of the camera assembly. The actuator can extend through or be otherwise accessible through the housing of the computing device so that the shutter can move in a plane parallel to the front surface or bezel of the computing device. Because the shutter element operated from a surface other than the front facing surface, the bezel can include a single surface with a window to protect the camera assembly and allow for a touch control capabilities. The shutter element can be disposed between the bezel and the camera assembly to provide privacy from the camera being inadvertently or maliciously activated.

    Abstract: In one example, an electronic device may include a main body, and a back cover having an opening. The back cover may include an inner surface, and a hook protruding from the inner surface. The hook may be engageable with a receiving portion of the main body to slidably couple the back cover to the main body. Further, electronic device may include a component housing connected to the main body through the opening in the back cover to fixedly couple the back cover to the main body.

    Abstract: An apparatus may include a collar, a first bracket and a second bracket. The collar may be retained in a substrate through hole of a substrate. For example, a portion of the collar may be inserted into the substrate through hole. The first bracket may include a first bracket screw hole and the second bracket may include a second bracket screw hole. The second bracket may be adjustable from a first (down) position to a second (upright) position. When the second bracket is in the first position, a mount retaining screw may be received through the first bracket screw hole to retain a mount to the substrate for a first thickness of the substrate. When the second bracket is in the second position, the mount retaining screw may be received through the second bracket screw hole to retain the mount to adjust to a second thickness of the substrate.

    Abstract: In an example, an electronic device may include a housing and a first acoustic device pivotally disposed in the housing. The first acoustic device may move between a first position within the housing and a second position outside the housing. The first acoustic device may direct an acoustic signal in a direction. Further, the electronic device may include a camera to capture an image of an area in front of the electronic device. Furthermore, the electronic device may include a processor operatively coupled to the camera and the first acoustic device. The processor may determine a location of a facial feature of an operator using the captured image. Further, the processor may control an angle of rotation of the first acoustic device relative to the housing based on the location of the facial feature to modify the direction of the acoustic signal.
