  • Patent number: 11889176
    Abstract: Retractable image capture devices and methods to protect such retractable image capture devices. An example mobile device includes a housing; a camera module including a sensor and a lens, a focal distance between the sensor and the lens being fixed, the camera module being movably mounted to the housing to move between a first position and a second position, a surface of the lens to extend past an exterior surface of the housing in the first position, the camera module to be disposed within the housing in the second position; and an actuator to actuate the camera module from the first position to the second position in response to a proximity trigger.

  • Publication number: 20230389205
    Abstract: Folding devices are disclosed. An example folding device includes a first frame; a second frame; an actuator including a first end coupled to the first frame and a second end hingably coupled to the second frame; and a display coupled to the first and second frames, when the folding device is in a folded position, the display wraps around ends of the first and second frames to cover a joint between the first and second frames, when the folding device rotates from the folded position toward an unfolded position, the actuator urges the ends of the first and second frames away from one another to encourage the display to unwrap from around the ends.

  • Patent number: 10953593
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a molding compound comprising a resin, a filler, and a carbon nano-tube dispersion and methods of forming a package using the molding compound are disclosed. The carbon non-tube dispersion has a number of carbon nano-tubes with surfaces that are chemically modified by a functional group to chemically bridge the surfaces of the carbon nano-tubes and the resin, improving adhesion between the carbon nano-tubes and the resin and reducing agglomeration between various ones of the carbon nano-tubes. The carbon nano-tube dispersion achieves a low average agglomeration size in the molding compound thereby providing desirable electro-mechanical properties and laser marking compatibility. A shallow laser mark may be formed in a mold cap with a maximum depth of less than about 10 microns. Other apparatuses and methods are disclosed.
