Abstract: The description relates to devices that emit light from a light source. One example device can include a reflector extending along an arc and oriented in light receiving relation relative to the light source. The reflector can have a cross-sectional reflector profile taken transverse to the arc that includes a first portion having a swept profile that transitions to a second portion having a reverse swept profile.

Abstract: A camera assembly for inclusion in a camera is described. The camera assembly includes a lens barrel and a retaining mechanism that is configured to restrict movement of the lens barrel relative to the retaining mechanism. The retaining mechanism is configured to be attached to a mounting surface of a camera enclosure, such that position of the camera assembly remains fixed relative to the camera enclosure.

Abstract: Embodiments enable an accessory device coupled to a parent device to transfer heat directly to the parent device via convection thereby enabling the parent device to help cool the accessory device. The electronic device includes a device body housing coupled to and housing a heat-generating component, a device foot coupled to an exterior surface of the device body housing and a first mating element. The parent device includes a planar mounting surface, and a second mating element adapted to engage with the first mating element of the accessory device to mount the accessory device to the parent device, and brings the planar portion of the device foot housing into contact with the planar mounting surface. The heat-generating component is thermally coupled to the parent device via a thermal circuit comprising the device body house, the device foot, the planar portion thereof, and the planar mounting surface of the parent device.

Abstract: Methods for estimating a force F exerted on a touchpad are disclosed. In one example, a force sensing touchpad comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising four PCB electrodes and a spring spaced from the PCB and comprising four spring electrodes. Changes in capacitance at two of the PCB electrodes are determined and used to calculate a first local gradient between the two electrodes. Changes in capacitance at the other two PCB electrodes are determined and used to calculate a second local gradient between these two electrodes. The local gradients are used to calculate local forces at each PCB electrode, and the local forces are used to calculate the force F exerted on the touchpad.

Abstract: An adaptive grip for a digital stylus includes a body having an internal volume and a keying feature in the internal volume to rotationally key the digital stylus to the body. The adaptive grip further includes a distal opening to allow an inking tip of the digital stylus to protrude from the internal volume and a retention feature to retain the digital stylus in the internal volume in a longitudinal direction.
