Abstract: A dock for a portable electronic device, the dock includes a base including one or more ports, a cradle defining an interior volume configured to house at least a portion of the portable electronic device, the cradle being pivotable relative to the base to change an orientation of the portable electronic device relative to the base, and a security apparatus configured to be inserted into a port of the portable electronic device upon insertion of the portable electronic device into the cradle to prohibit removal of the portable electronic device from the dock, the security apparatus including a data and power transmission apparatus that is electrically connected to the one or more ports.

Abstract: A computer input device including a housing including a first side and a second side that is spaced apart from the first side, and a ball partially positioned within and rotatable relative to the housing. At least a portion of the ball extends through an aperture in the first side. The computer input device also includes a user-operable actuator accessible from the second side of the housing and configured to eject the ball from the housing.

Abstract: A docking station for a portable electronic device includes a stand having a base portion and an upright portion extending from the base portion, a support member coupled to the upright portion of the stand at a height above the base, the support member having a tablet-coupling side at least partially defined by a plate configured to magnetically couple the portable electronic device to the tablet-coupling side of the support member, and a lip extending outwardly from the tablet-coupling side and configured to assist in aligning the portable electronic device relative to the plate of the tablet-coupling side of the support member.

Abstract: A dock for a portable electronic device includes a base, a cradle coupled to the base and defining an interior volume configured to receive the portable electronic device, and a security apparatus. The security apparatus is configured to move between a first position where the security apparatus is configured to couple to the portable electronic device, and a second position where the security apparatus is configured to disengage the portable electronic device. The dock includes a detect mechanism coupled to the security apparatus for movement relative to the cradle. The detect mechanism is configured to block insertion of the portable electronic device into the cradle when the security apparatus is in the first position.

Abstract: A dock for a portable electronic device includes a base and a cradle defining an interior volume configured to house at least a portion of the portable electronic device. The dock further includes an arm rotatably coupled to the base at a first end and rotatably coupled to the cradle at a second end. A security apparatus is configured to be inserted into a slot of the portable electronic device upon insertion of the portable electronic device into the cradle to prohibit removal of the portable electronic device from the dock.
