20230031876 · 2023-02-02 ·

An apparatus for carrying out inputs in an input capturing unit that can be coupled to the apparatus. An operating device has a receiving part and an operating element that is rotatably mounted on the receiving part. The operating element can be rotated by a finger to effect an input. A torque for the rotation of the control element can be adjusted by way of a controllable braking device. In addition, the control element has at least two actuating zones. The resistance to movement for the movability of the operating element can be adjusted depending on from which actuation zone the operating element is actuated and/or which actuation zone was previously activated.

Provided herein are various portable personal storage devices and methods of use of the same. In one aspect, the device includes a housing configured to attach to a surface, the housing comprising: a plurality of predefined cavities configured to removably store a wellness instrument and/or container, each cavity comprising an opening defining said cavity and disposed on an outer surface of the housing; at least one of: a replaceable wellness instrument and/or container; and a housing cover slidably connected to a surface of the housing.

MOBILE PHONE DISPLAY STAND STRUCTURE
20230034502 · 2023-02-02 ·

A mobile device display stand structure includes: a shaft driven and rotated by applying a critical moment greater than a resistance of the shaft to overcome the resistance of the shaft; and a first lever and a second lever connected to the shaft separately. The first lever and the second lever use the shaft as a fulcrum and flip over relative to each other by the shaft to define an included angle, and the first lever and the second lever are plate-shaped bodies. When the included angle is 0-180 degrees, the gravity of the first lever generates a first moment relative to the shaft or the gravity of the second lever generates a second moment smaller than the critical moment relative to the shaft, such that the first lever or the second lever cannot be rotated relative to the shaft and the included angle is kept constant.

Command provision via magnetic field variation

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using a sensor of an information handling device, a change in a magnetic field associated with the information handling device; determining, using a processor, whether the change in the magnetic field corresponds to a known command; and performing, responsive to determining that the change in the magnetic field corresponds to the known command, a function dictated by the known command. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Cases for electronic devices

A case for a round electronic device may have a device holding portion and an attachment portion for attaching the case to an item such as a suitcase or a key chain. The case may include upper and lower case portions that form a pocket. On a first side of the pocket, the upper and lower case portions may be stitched together or may be integrally formed. On a second side of the pocket, a snap may attach the upper case portion to the lower case portion and may be opened to provide access to the pocket. The attachment portion may have an opening for attaching the case to a key ring, suitcase, or other item. The case may include leather, polymer, and/or fabric. Openings may be surrounded by reinforcement material such as strands of non-elastic material. Snaps may be flush with surrounding portions of the case.
