Abstract: An adjustable support for a multimedia display device includes a base and a foot rotatably coupled with the base. The base includes a plurality of ramp surfaces, and the foot includes a plurality of engaging surfaces. The plurality of ramp surfaces are separate from each other and distributed at substantially equal intervals along a common circumference, and each of the engaging surfaces interacts with a respective one of the ramp surfaces, wherein rotation of the foot relative to the base causes each of the engaging surfaces to slide along the respective one of the ramp surfaces to vary a distance the foot extends from the base.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise geometric features in the fluid interconnect region of an ink container which inhibit residual ink from contacting a removable seal on the container or the fingers and clothing of the container installer. The features comprise a fluid accumulator and capillary break.

Abstract: A manually activated docking station that readily receives a generally horizontally inserted mobile computing device. Movement of a manual activation member causes engagement fingers to positively engage a mobile computing device and pull the port of the computing device onto the port of the docking station. Also disclosed are a unique locking method that impedes movement of the manual activation member and an uninterrupted power supply.

Abstract: Conductors of a flexible printed circuit routed through a hollow two axis articulated hinge allow a calculator with rotating case halves to possess a keyboard portion in each half of the case. The conductors routed through the hollow articulated hinge are generally centered about one axis of hinge rotation for approximately half the length of the axis, whereupon they transition by either a U-turn or a jog to continue as centered about the other axis of hinge rotation. The conductors may be an integral part of a flexible membrane keyboard assembly having portions located in both halves of the calculator's case. Strain reliefs at the locations where the conductors traverse the case halves, and two in the hinge, at about the center thereof, limit and apportion the torsional flexing experienced by the conductors. The torsional flexing experienced by the flexible conductors increases the number of cycles of rotation they can undergo without breaking, as compared to conventional bending.
