Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as computing devices that have hinged portions. One example can include a first portion and a second portion. The example can also include a first exoskeletal hinge segment secured to the first portion and a second exoskeletal hinge segment secured to the second portion. The first exoskeletal hinge segment can define an arcuate tab that travels in an arcuate cavity defined by the second exoskeletal hinge segment to allow relative rotation between the first and second portions.

Abstract: A multi-pivot timing chain comprises first timing links in a first timing chain layer coupled together via meshing gear teeth, and second timing links in a second timing chain layer coupled together via meshing gear teeth. Pins rotatably couple the first timing links to the second timing links. Each of the timing links comprises opposing first and second gear portions comprising gear teeth, and first and second flexures connecting the two gear portions. The flexures are in tension and configured to cause a pair of meshing gear teeth in an adjacent timing chain layer to be in compression, thereby creating resistance to rotation of the timing links that comprise the meshing gear teeth.
