An apparatus for securing a component to prevent unauthorized removal of the component, the apparatus comprising a security device for securing the component, the security device having: a first corner engagement member pivotally mounted to a first arm for engaging a first corner of the component; a second corner engagement member pivotally mounted to a second arm for engaging a second corner of the component that is diagonal to the first corner; and a locking assembly to secure the first arm relative to the second arm.

Provided herein are compositions made from a matrix and a hydrated salt of an acid and a Group I or II element of the Periodic Table, and electronic devices assembled therewith.

An integrated power-security cable device usable with a computing device includes an integrated power-security cable. The integrated power-security cable device includes a security cable to secure the computing device to an object, a power cable to provide power to the computing device, and a covering member surrounding the security cable and the power cable. The integrated power-security cable device is connected to an integrated electrical connector including a security lock to lock the integrated electrical connector to the computing device.

The present invention relates to an electrical device comprising: a first connector (102) being magnetically connectable to a second connector (202) of an accessory (200) for forming a magnetic connection between the first and second connectors, wherein at least one of the first and second connectors comprises an electromagnet; a sensor (120) comprising at least one of a motion sensor, a proximity sensor and a microphone, wherein the sensor is arranged to output a sensor signal (121); and a electromagnetic controller (108) connected to the electromagnet and arranged to control the magnetic field of the electromagnet based on the sensor signal.

This is directed to a case for securing and protecting an electronic device. The case can include a cover connected to a pouch by a hinge such that the cover can be overlaid over a device interface (e.g., a device display). The case can be constructed by layering and combining several types of materials, including for example materials having resistant outer surfaces, materials limiting the deformation of the case, materials providing a soft surface to be placed in contact with the device, and rigid materials for defining a structure of the case. In some embodiments, the case can include a tab that allows a user to fold open the cover of the case to form a triangular prism. The prism can be placed on any of its surfaces such that the device can be oriented towards a user at particular angles (e.g., a typing-specific orientation and a media playback orientation).

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer, laptop, or tablet that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of an information-processing device includes a logic component mounted on a circuit board. The information-processing device also includes a plastic layer surrounding the logic component. Further, the information-processing device includes a first metal layer surrounding the logic component. The plastic layer is integrated with the first metal layer.

In one example, an electronic device may include a power adapter having a connector plug. Further, the electronic device may include a housing and a connector port disposed on a side of the housing to receive the connector plug of the power adapter. The connector port may include an electromagnet disposed on a mating end of the connector port and a first conductive contact disposed on the mating end and electrically connected to the electromagnet. When the connector port being mated with the connector plug, the first conductive contact may receive power from a second conductive contact of the connector plug and energize the electromagnet to produce magnetic attraction with a magnetic element in the connector plug.

Structures and systems are disclosed for supporting tablets or displays. A core arm that is configured to have a range of rotation based on angle length of a track or tunnel, an angle length of a joint rotation stop structure, and an angle length of a floating stop key. The core extends from a rear end to a front end of the structure. The core arm can also include a floating stop key that is movable with the track or tunnel of the core arm structure. The structures and systems can thus be readily configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can conceal cable routing, which is accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance.

An electronic device may have a housing. The housing may be characterized by a vertical axis and may have housing structures such as cylindrical housing structures with a cylindrical surface. A speaker may be mounted in the housing to provide sound through openings in the housing structures. A visual output device may be mounted in the housing to provide light through openings in the housing structures. The visual output device may include an electrophoretic display, a light-emitting diode display, or other display with an array of pixels that display images or may include other components for emitting light. During operation, voice commands may be received by a microphone in the device and action taken based on the commands and other information. The action taken may include playing sound with the speaker and providing visual output with the visual output device.

A living room convergence device includes a case, a mainboard, a central processor, and a thermal solution. The case includes a bottom portion that includes air intake holes and a top portion that includes air exhaust holes. The thermal solution includes a heatsink sitting atop the mainboard of the living room convergence device, the heatsink to dissipate heat from the central processor. The thermal solution also includes a fan assembly including rotating fan blades and a motor that drives the rotating fan blades, creating a bottom-to-up swirling airflow starting from the air intake holes and exiting through the air exhaust holes.
