Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors automatically transition the blade assembly to the peek position when a front-facing imager or front-facing loudspeaker is required unless a privacy mode of operation is enabled, wherein transition of the blade assembly to the peek position is precluded.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors can automatically cause the blade assembly to translate in response to one or more triggers, some of which may be learned by an artificial intelligence classifier.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors cause the blade assembly to move to a position where dimensions of a front-facing portion of the flexible display correspond to a preferred aspect ratio for content being presented on the front-facing portion of the flexible display.

The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors manipulate content being presented on the flexible display as a function of a position of the blade assembly.

Abstract: In aspects of managing quickview content for a multi-display device, the multi-display device has a primary display screen to display digital image content and a secondary display screen to display quickview content. The multi-display device implements a content control module to determine a context that indicates a characteristic of the digital image content displayed on the primary display screen. The content control module also determines the quickview content to display on the secondary display screen based on the context of the digital image content displayed on the primary display screen. The content control module then initiates displaying the quickview content on the secondary display screen. The content control module can also detect at least one individual in a region from which a secondary display screen of the multi-display device is viewable, and activate the secondary display screen in response to the individual being detected.

Abstract: This new accessory chest is a four piece sectioned assembly storage chest that will neatly store from top to bottom and throughout the chest, a large or small amount of separated variety of accessory selections of dressing attire that will complement the clothing to be worn and to use as a storage for these accessories until ready to use. A grooming area will be available with a midsection fold down doll valet that also swivels to the other side for apparel dressing, rolls out and lock whereby a storage seat is available there to finalize the dress by putting on the footwear. Pre-dressing and having the accessory attire in one location should have conserved time and shows a ‘preview of how you want to coordinate the apparel/accessories for the occasion’. The suggested variety includes, but not exclusive to: shoes, boots, socks/stockings, sneakers, purses/shoulder bags, belts, scarves/ties, house slippers, hats/caps, gloves, glasses/shades, jewelry variety and even extra hair plus more . . .

Abstract: The food warmer is a subdivided individual sectioned compartments that holds a multiple portion of foods with transparent covers and is operated by a motorized turntable that the foods. The heating is an option of electricity or battery power. The two unit heating system operates from either side of the warmer, independently of sides, with no turntable rotation when this mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated by control led heat settings to keep foods from scorching and warmer safe from overheating. The warmer is compacted to hold most of your needs with ease of access to all selections. Alternatives are: this warmer has subdivided, individual sectioned compartments that permits more ease to access selections of foods with a turntable that rotates for serving convenience without containers being spread to only select one dish from each.

Abstract: The doubled sided doll valet, which has potential use in many other fields, is a learning tool sized for children ages, 4-7 and 8-12 years to help assist to develop time conservation of dress that should be beneficial to child and parent. This doll valet will help the smaller child learn left/right hand and feet, zip, snap, tie and button, learn to independently organize and coordinate style of dress and how to keep their room tidy, plus be useful to department stores, schools, model agencies and more. Alternatives are: The magnitude statue of this doll concept is not available in child size capacity as such that teaches from this two-sided perspective for dressing, nor its flexibility or versatility of concept to feature such variety of developmental learning, nor its convenience at one location. The doll has optional fold down and roll about capability at manufacturer's request.
