Abstract:
Locking mechanisms and electronic devices having locking mechanisms are described herein. In one example, a locking mechanism includes a latch (216) configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein a component of the electronic device (200) is secured in the locked position and removable in the unlocked position. The locking mechanism further includes a memory wire (218) in communication with the latch, wherein the memory wire is configured to contract in length to move the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position to release the component (202) of the electronic device.
Abstract:
Un dispositif d'affichage comporte un écran ayant une surface d'affichage étendue. L'écran est destiné à permettre d'afficher un élément visuel grâce à une gestion d'affichage implémentée par une circuiterie électronique du dispositif d'affichage. Le dispositif d'affichage comporte en outre un gyromètre et/ou un accéléromètre, et la circuiterie électronique est configurée pour déterminer (602) une zone d'exploitation, parmi différentes zones d'exploitation de la surface d'affichage étendue, où afficher ledit élément visuel, en fonction de mesures effectuées (601) en temps-réel par le gyromètre et/ou l'accéléromètre, et pour afficher (605) ledit élément visuel dans la zone d'exploitation déterminée.
Abstract:
A method and system for integrating audience participation content into virtual reality (VR) content presented by head mounted display (HMD) of an HMD user is provided. The method includes providing a VR scene to the HMD of an HMD user and receiving indications from one or more spectator devices of one or more spectators that correspond to requests for audience participation content for participating in the VR scene. The method and system is capable of sending audience participation content to the spectator devices for enabling spectator interactivity with the audience participation content via respective spectator devices. The method and system provided also enables a receiving of the spectator input, which may then be subsequently integrated into the VR scene of the HMD.
Abstract:
A hinge is disclosed. The hinge includes a first portion and a second portion. The hinge includes a first link having a first pivot and a second pivot. The first pivot is connected to the first portion. The first link is biased about the first pivot of the first link toward a first position. The hinge includes a second link having a first pivot and a second pivot. The first pivot connected to the second portion. The second pivot of the second link connected to the second pivot of the first link. The second link biased about the first pivot of the second link toward the first position. The second pivot of the first link and the second pivot of the second link defining a hinge pivot. Methods of transitioning a computing device are disclosed.
Abstract:
Examples are disclosed herein that relate to display devices. One example provides a display device comprising a chassis including a ledge surrounding an aperture, a cover layer positioned in the aperture, and a display layer attached to the cover layer, the display layer having a perimeter portion extending beyond an outer edge of the cover layer and positioned below an underside of the ledge.
Abstract:
An electronic device (10) such as a portable computer may be provided with a lower housing (12B) and an upper housing (12A). The electronic device may include hinge structures (20) which allow the upper housing to rotate about a rotational axis relative to the lower housing. The electronic device may include a ventilation port structure (40A, 40B, 40C) with intake openings that allow air to be drawn into the electronic device. The ventilation structure may also include exhaust openings that are used to expel air from the lower housing. When the electronic device is in an open position, it may be desirable for the ventilation structure to form more exhaust openings than when the electronic device is in a closed position. The ventilation structure may form lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the closed position and form upper and lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the open position.
Abstract:
Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to a strengthened glass article including a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t) of about less than about 1.1 mm, a compressive stress layer extending from the first surface to a depth of compression (DOC) of about 0.1-t or greater, such that when the glass article fracture, it breaks into a plurality of fragments having an aspect ratio of about 5 or less. In some embodiments, the glass article exhibits an equibiaxial flexural strength of about 20 kgf or greater, after being abraded with 90-grit SiC particles at a pressure of 25 psi for 5 seconds. Devices incorporating the glass articles described herein and methods for making the same are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to provide wireless communication; a display including a main region and an extended region extended from the main region toward at least one side of the main region; and a controller configured to deactivate the main region and the extended region of the display, activate the main region of the display without activating the extended region in response to a knock code being input on the main region of the display, and activate the extended region of the display without activating the main region in response to the knock code being input on extended region of the display.
