Abstract: The present invention concerns a tablet device (10) and an associated cradle (12) holding the tablet device. The cradle comprises a mounting portion (18) for mounting the tablet device (10) and cradle (12) to a steering wheel (60). The mounting portion (18) is configured such that when the tablet device (10) and associated cradle (12) is mounted to a steering wheel (60), a bottom edge of the tablet device (10) and associated cradle (12) lies outside a first airbag-deployment-zone (70) and within a second airbag-deployment-zone (72). Contact between the bottom edge of the tablet device (10) and associated cradle (12) and an airbag deployed into the second airbag-deployment-zone (72) pushes the tablet device (10) and associated cradle (12) into the steering wheel (60).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a docking station module for a computer docking station. The docking station module comprises a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism comprising a latch moveable between an unlatched position and a latched position, and a retainer moveable between a blocking position and an unblocked position. In the blocking position the retainer prevents movement of the latch to the unlatched position and in the unblocked position movement of the latch to the unlatched position is permitted. An actuator moves the retainer between the blocking and unblocked position. A connection surface is configured to enable the docking station module to be connected to a docking station cradle.
