Abstract:
A computing device includes a housing having an inner surface, a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a side extending between the first outer surface and the second outer surface. The computing device also includes a heat generating electronic device, a first heat spreader, and a second heat spreader. At least a portion of the first heat spreader abuts or is adjacent to the inner surface of the housing. The second heat spreader extends from a first position within the housing, at or adjacent to the heat generating electronic device to a second position within the housing. The second position is closer to the side of the housing than the first position. A first portion of the second heat spreader abuts the first heat spreader, and a second portion of the second heat spreader is at a distance from the first heat spreader.
Abstract:
Examples are disclosed that relate to aligning a pressure sensitive adhesive to a body of a display device for attachment of a display module to the display device. One example provides an electronic display device comprising a body, the body comprising a wall and a deck extending inwardly from the wall. The deck comprises a first reference feature configured to interface with a first index feature on a pressure sensitive adhesive application fixture, and a second reference feature configured to interface with a second index feature on the pressure sensitive adhesive application fixture. The electronic display device further comprises a display module supported by the deck, and a pressure sensitive adhesive adhering the display module to the deck.
Abstract:
A connection device includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket has a base and a post with an opening therethrough and the second bracket has a base and a post with an opening therethrough. A pin is positioned through the opening of the first bracket and the opening of the second bracket to limit the movement of the first bracket relative to the second bracket in a first direction. A compressible member is positioned between at least a portion of the first bracket and at least a portion of the second bracket to limit the movement of the first bracket relative to the second bracket in a second direction.
Abstract:
Touchscreen computing devices are often assembled by applying an adhesive to an interface perimeter between a cover glass and a chassis. Occasionally, a device is de-bonded to troubleshoot errors in the functionality of the device. The adhesive often is resistant to releasing the bond between the cover glass and a chassis by mechanical force and the cover glass may be damaged during disassembly. Passive and/or active de-bonding aids facilitate transfer of thermal energy to the adhesive in a manner that avoids or minimizes the transfer of thermal energy to heat-sensitive components of the device.
Abstract:
Display module support techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes an external enclosure forming a cavity and a touch display module. The touch display module includes a touch panel assembly having one or more touch sensors and a display module to output a display through at least a portion of the touch panel assembly. The apparatus also includes a support that secures the touch display module to the external enclosure. The support is secured to the external enclosure using a reworkable connection.

Abstract:
Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing deflection-based and/or proximity-based switching of a component state. For instance, a computing device may include a display and a component. The component may be switched from an “on” state to an “off” state in response to a deflection of the display toward another portion (e.g., the component) of the computing device by at least a designated amount, in response to deflection of another portion of the computing device toward the display by at least a designated amount, in response to an object being within a designated proximity of the display or a portion thereof, in response to the object coming toward (e.g., approaching or being pressed against) the display with at least a designated intensity, etc.
