Publication number: 20180332160Abstract: A computing device is operable to work in conjunction with a companion electronic device. The computing device and the companion electronic device each have their own electronics and/or own operating system and each is able to construct a partial or complete user environment. The computing device is operable to send data to the companion device, on request of the companion device, which the companion electronic device then uses to locally construct its own user environment, in whole or in part.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2018Publication date: November 15, 2018Inventors: Hugh BROGAN, Margaret RICE-JONES, Ron SCHAEFFER, Nigel NEWBY-HOUSE, George HINES

Patent number: 9612619Abstract: An electronic device includes a display assembly, in which the display assembly is positioned within a strength member frame and pivots around a pair of hinges fixed into the strength member frame, the strength member frame isolating the display assembly from forces that would otherwise damage the display assembly. The display assembly may include a rectangular display element and the strength member frame is then a rigid rectangular frame that surrounds all four sides of the display assembly, all sides of the rigid rectangular frame being capable of isolating the display assembly from forces that would otherwise damage the display assembly. The invention hence enables a computing device display to be securely held, protected and manipulated. The display is protected from stress, torsional forces, impact forces and over-rotation.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Hugh Brogan, George Hines
