Abstract: A flexible docking bay is disclosed. The flexible docking bay comprises a body having a cartridge-receiving portion defining a front region that defines an opening and a rear region that defines a rear bounding wall. A cartridge-encasing wall extends from the opening to the rear bounding wall. The flexible docking bay comprises a sled-receiving feature configured to engage a cartridge. The sled-receiving feature is movably coupled with an interior surface of the cartridge-encasing wall. If the cartridge has physical attributes that when fully inserted into the receiving portion of the flexible docking bay is not fixed by a holding mechanism that secures the sled-receiving feature in a first position, then the cartridge and the sled-receiving feature travel past the holding mechanism to a second position. Otherwise, the cartridge and the sled-receiving feature are held in the first position.

Abstract: A monitor stand comprising a base, a bracket, and an arm assembly, is discussed. The arm assembly is movably coupled to the base and movably coupled to the bracket. The bracket is configured to support a monitor. The arm assembly is configured such that an action to rotate the arm assembly relative to the base is coupled and operable to proportionally rotate the bracket relative to the arm assembly.

Abstract: A housing comprises a track for accepting at least one removably couplable attachment. A portion of an exterior peripheral surface of the housing is recessed relative to adjacent portions of the exterior peripheral surface. The recessed portion and a non-recessed portion of the exterior peripheral surface define a track for interfacing with a removably couplable attachment.

Abstract: A clamping device for rigidly securing a web camera, or other object, to a monitor. The clamping device includes a body portion and a clamping portion. Springs are provided within the device that allow the clamping portion to be slid away from the body portion against the bias of the springs. A first flipper is mounted to one side of the body portion and a second flipper is mounted to an opposite side of the body portion. The clamping device is positioned on the top edge of the monitor so that a front support portion of the clamping portion is positioned against a front surface of the monitor above the screen and the flippers are positioned against a back panel of the monitor. The spring tension between the clamping portion and the flippers rigidly secures the clamping device to the monitor.

Abstract: A coupler for releasably mounting a computer peripheral device to another device includes a first portion operable to engage the computer peripheral device, and a second portion operable to engage the other device. Or, a computer peripheral device includes a connector for mounting the computer peripheral device to another device. With the coupler, the computer peripheral device may more securely support the other device as compared to one placing the other device on top of the computer peripheral device. Similarly, with the connector, the computer peripheral device may more securely support the other device. Furthermore, with the coupler, connector, or both, one may generate a stack including three or more peripheral devices of a computer system by mounting each additional device to an adjacent device in the stack. Thus, a housing of the computer system may support more peripheral devices.

Abstract: A lower enclosure of a keyboard includes a region forming a cavity to stiffen the lower enclosure and a node support disposed in the cavity to support a node of a circuit in a switch-membrane assembly of the keyboard. With the node support, a plate to support the switch-membrane assembly may be omitted from the keyboard. Thus, the keyboard may be easier and less expensive to manufacture than a keyboard that includes a plate.

Abstract: An access in a housing for a computer is disclosed. The access has a pivot mechanism coupled to the housing, and a door coupled to the pivot mechanism. The door rests flush against the computer housing when the access is not deployed. The door is configured to pivot in a downward direction for deployment of the access. An actuator is coupled to the door for actuating an ejection mechanism in a disk drive drawer. The actuator has a foam pad for depressing an eject button on a faceplate of the disk drive drawer.
