Abstract: A peripheral device for a computing device comprises a body configured for insertion into a storage cavity in the computing device, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The first magnet is disposed within the body proximate a first external surface of the body and having a first pole of a first polarity and a second pole of a second polarity, wherein the first pole is oriented toward the first external surface. The second magnet is disposed within the body between a second external surface and the first magnet and having a first pole of the first polarity and a second pole of the second polarity, wherein the first pole of the second magnet is oriented toward the second external surface.

Abstract: A passive stylus with a deformable tip is described herein. In one embodiment, a thin annular body configured to be hand-held with a chisel shaped tip disposed at the first end of the body is provided. The chisel shaped tip includes a deformable material such that the chisel shaped tip is operable to interface with a touch a sensitive surface with a detectable surface area when a first pressure is exerted on the body and translated to the chisel shaped tip. The chisel shaped tip is operable to interface with the touch sensitive surface with a second detectable surface area, this one different from the first detectable surface area, when a second pressure is exerted on the body and translated to the chisel shaped tip. The stylus may include a second tip on the back end for providing an erase function.

Abstract: Provided for herein is a protection device for an electronic device, comprising (1) a cover having a cover width, cover height and cover thickness; and (2) a spindle attached to an edge of the cover, the spindle configured to cooperatively engage a groove formed in a housing of the electronic device and couple the cover to the electronic device.

Abstract: Provided for herein is an electronic device. The electronic device, in one example, includes a housing having a housing width, housing height, housing thickness, and a front and a back, and a display positioned proximate the front of the housing. The electronic device, in this aspect, further includes a magnetic or ferromagnetic rail positioned proximate the back of the housing, the magnetic or ferromagnetic rail configured to assist in providing multiple viewing angles for the electronic device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided including a first thermal component adapted for thermal communication with an integrated circuit, and a second thermal component adapted for thermal communication with the first thermal component upon engagement therewith. Further provided is a coupler slidably coupled to the first thermal component and/or the second thermal component. In use, such coupler is capable of a first orientation for disengaging, the first thermal component and the second thermal component, and a second orientation for engaging the first thermal component and the second thermal component.
