A method includes providing a main frame configured to be attached to a surface associated with a portable electronic device, and providing a grip element. The method also includes forming a grip device based on receiving one or more slide element(s) of the grip element through a channel of the main frame, and enabling portrait and landscape orientation based operations associated with the portable electronic device through the attachment of the formed grip device to the portable electronic device.

A method for detecting a payload on a carrier configured to support the payload includes obtaining a obtaining at least one motion characteristic of the carrier. The at least one motion characteristic is indicative of a coupling state between the carrier and the payload. The method further includes assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload based on the at least one motion characteristic. Assessing the coupling state between the carrier and the payload includes at least one of assessing whether the payload is coupled to the carrier or assessing whether the payload is correctly mounted at the carrier.

Low-profile computer supports include features to reduce the thickness and improve the portability or storage capability of a computer system while it is disassembled, packaged, shipped, or moved. Some computer systems have a computing device and a dock device that can be stored and moved separately or that can store or support accessories associated with the computer system. Some computer systems have a movable stand configured to transition between a collapsed state and a deployed or standing state. Some stands include handles or grips for moving the computer systems while collapsed. Other computer systems include handles or grips to provide areas to more easily carry the computer systems. The handles or grips can have features such as a flexible material to hide or mask their appearance on the computer system.

An articulated arm for support of an extended flexible medical instrument includes: a segment rotationally mobile around an axis of rotation, where the mobile segment can either be rotationally locked or unlocked, a handgrip including: a distal holding part to be hand held, a proximal support part connecting the distal holding part to the remainder of the structure, and an actuator on the distal holding part locking and unlocking mobility of the segment in rotation around the axis. The locking and unlocking actuator extends over the main part of the length of the distal holding part such that: pressure of the user's hand griping the distal holding part directly creates contact with the actuator, sufficient for automatically unlocking mobility of the segment in rotation and release of the distal holding part terminates contact with the locking and unlocking actuator, sufficient for automatically locking mobility of the segment in rotation.

A supporter is provided. The supporter includes a base, a holder, a positioning member, a connecting rod assembly, and a power assembly. The holder is connected to the base and has a through-hole. The positioning member is disposed in the through-hole of the holder. The connecting rod assembly is disposed on the holder and connected to the positioning member. The power assembly is movably disposed on the holder via the connecting rod assembly. Accordingly, the power assembly is movable in response to the position of the electronic device, which achieves good recharge efficiency whether the electronic device is arranged upright or horizontally.

Systems are disclosed relating to a mobile device mounted to a welding helmet such that a wearer of the welding helmet can see a display of the mobile device when wearing the welding helmet. In some examples, the mobile device is mounted such that a camera of the mobile device is unobscured and positioned at approximately eye level, facing the same way the wearer's eyes are facing. In some examples, the simulated training environment may be presented to the user via the display screen of the mobile device, using images captured by the camera of the mobile device, when the mobile device is so mounted to the welding helmet.

An installation base includes a main body and a release member. The main body includes a first surface and a second surface on two opposite sides. The first surface is provided with a magnet piece. The release member is arranged on a second surface of the main body, and includes a pressing part, a pivoting part and an operating part. The pivoting part is pivotally connected to the main body in a first direction. The pressing part extends from the pivoting part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and protrudes from the main body, and a length of the pressing part in the second direction is greater than a thickness from the first surface to the second surface of the main body. The operating part extends from the pivoting part in the second direction toward a direction opposite to the pressing part.
