A tablet adapted to be combined with a rod holder is provided. The tablet comprises a device body with a first surface and a second surface. The device body includes a first side edge, a second side edge adjacent to the first side edge, and a support area located at a joint of the first side edge and the second side edge. A through hole extending through the first surface and the second surface is formed at the support area. When the rod holder is inserted through the through hole to be combined with the device body, an end of the rod holder abuts against a supporting surface, and a support angle is formed between the device body and the supporting surface via the other end of the rod holder.

An assembly for preventing accidental shutdowns includes a trigger, a first button, a resisting portion, a first driving portion, a second driving portion, a sliding block, and a processing unit. The sliding block includes at least one block and at least one groove. When the electronic device is in a shutdown state, the at least one resisting wall is in the at least one groove. When the electronic device is powered on, the processing unit controls the first driving portion to drive the resisting portion to rise up, and controls the second driving portion to drive the sliding block to move horizontally related to the first button until one end of the resisting wall resists against the first button. The other end of the resisting wall resists against the at least one block. An electronic device with the assembly is also provided.

An electronic device can include a first electronic component, a second electronic component, and an energy dampener positioned between and in contact with the first electronic component and the second electronic component. The energy dampener in this example includes a carbon nanotube-aerogel matrix including carbon nanotubes embedded in an aerogel with a rubber composited therewith.

A consumer electronic product includes at least a transparent housing and a flexible display assembly enclosed within the transparent housing. In the described embodiment, the flexible display assembly is configured to present visual content at any portion of the transparent housing.

An accessory device for use with an electronic user apparatus is disclosed. The electronic user apparatus includes at least one capacitive sensor for detection of at least one control object with respect to a control surface, and at least one apparatus guard placed at an alternating guard potential (V.sub.G), different from a ground potential of the at least one control object, and identical to a potential of the capacitive sensor. The accessory device includes at least one accessory guard capable of being set to the alternating guard potential (V.sub.G) by coupling with the electronic user apparatus.

A secure housing for a portable computer, which has a screen, operating keys and at least one connector, can be transferred from an open state to a closed state. In order to protect the computer and the data stored thereon, the secure housing can be locked in the closed state and conceals at least one operating key of the computer while the screen is exposed.

The present invention is a small universal smart phone stand that can fit on a key chain. It can stand a smart phone to custom viewing angles. It transforms from flat into a custom smart phone stand, by just bending two flaps. When the flaps are bent, it creates a gap in-between them. This is where a smart phone is held. One flap is the front support, the other is the back support. The angle of which the flaps are bent into, adjusts the angle of the smart phone. The present invention is made of a shape retaining material. That allows the flaps to retain the shape they are bent into.

A latch and release mechanism for a computer component may allow release of the component with reduced force and easier access through a cam lever that rotates around a pivot point, such as a pin, to translate rotational motion into a force to unlock the drive from a bay of a chassis. Additionally, the cam lever may be configured to provide a force that ejects the drive from the bay nearly simultaneously with the unlocking of the drive. Thus, a user can remove a drive from a bay with a small application of a single type of force to the cam lever of a latch and release mechanism.

Embodiments are provided for managing operation of an electronic device based on the connection(s) of hardware module(s) to the electronic drive via a support housing. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may detect when a hardware module connects to the support housing. The electronic device may identify a function associated with the hardware module, where the function may be a built-in function of the hardware module itself or of the electronic device. The electronic device may accordingly activate the identified function.

A lock that is configured to be attached to electronic equipment requiring securing against theft and the lock comprising: a lock body; a locking element protruding from the lock body and having a forward distal section that is comparatively wider in cross-sectional size compared to a rear section thereof, the forward section being configured to be insertable into a cavity formed in the equipment, where the cavity is defined by an opening having a size and shape slightly larger than the cross-sectional size of the forward section of the locking element and an interior larger in cross-sectional size than the opening of the cavity; a slidable locking pin configured to slide alongside the locking element and into the cavity, after the locking element has been inserted into said cavity, to substantially fill a space of the cavity left unoccupied by the locking element; a sliding mechanism coupled to the locking pin and configured to slide the locking pin into and out of the cavity; and a locking mechanism to lock the locking mechanism within the lock body to prevent withdrawal of the locking element from the cavity.
