Abstract: An accessory device with a cover and keyboard section is described. The keyboard section includes a keyboard and a touchpad, while the cover section includes multiple segments. The cover section orients the electronic device such that a user can access the electronic device, the keyboard, and the touchpad. The cover section is rotationally coupled to the keyboard section by one or more hinge assemblies (including clutches and springs), allowing the cover section and the electronic device to rotate relative to the keyboard section. The cover section includes a first and second segment rotationally coupled together. To further adjust the electronic device, the first segment remains coupled to the electronic device, allowing the first segment and the electronic device to rotate relative to the second segment. The cover section can then suspend the electronic device over the keyboard section, and the electronic device does not contact the keyboard section.

Abstract: A system may include electronic devices that communicate wirelessly. When positioned so that a pair of devices overlap or are adjacent to one another, the devices may operate in a linked mode. During linked operations, devices may communicate wirelessly while input gathering and content displaying operations are shared among the devices. One or both of a pair of devices may have sensors. A capacitive sensor or other sensor may be used to measure the relative position between two devices when the two devices overlap each other. Content displaying operations and other linked mode operations may be performed based on the measured relative position between the two devices and other information.

Abstract: A fabrication process for producing, annealing, and conjugating nucleic acid molecules is implemented, under the direction of one or more computer programs, on two or more instruments, for carrying out the process. The process can include: (a) synthesizing, on a solid support and in a plurality of reactions, at least one of a nucleic acid and a peptide nucleic acid, and cleaving the synthesized biomolecule product from the support, providing a sample of synthesized biomolecule product from each reaction of the plurality; (b) measuring, for each sample, the volume of the sample and/or the concentration of the product; (c) subjecting the product from each reaction to chromatography under conditions suitable for achieving single-base-resolution for the product, the conditions being a function of the volume and/or concentration measured in (b); and then (d) collecting and pooling, from the chromatography of (c) for each sample, peaks that correspond to the product.
