  • Publication number: 20220256718
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to display devices and mounting brackets for securing a bezel to a display device. In one example, a display device comprises a display unit and a bezel comprising at least one pocket. The display device comprises a mounting bracket comprising a display unit attachment portion affixed to the display unit and at least one tongue that extends at least partially into the at least one pocket. Adhesive binds the at least one tongue to at least one surface of the at least one pocket, thereby coupling the bezel to the display unit via the mounting bracket.

  • Patent number: 10890954
    Abstract: A computing device includes a support structure with at least one edge. The computing device includes a cover connected to the support structure. The cover extends to or beyond the at least one edge of the support structure by no more than between 0 and 100 microns over an edge length of at least 100 mm. A fabric cover includes a cover edge and a cover surface. The cover edge and/or the cover surface include an edge feature. A method of manufacturing a computing device is described. The method includes determining an edge of a computing device and based on the edge that was determined, cutting the fabric cover between 0 and 100 microns of the edge of the computing device over an edge length of the computing device of at least 100 mm.

  • Patent number: 10209745
    Abstract: An input device is described. The input device may include at least four key caps of a keyset and a keyboard cover surrounding the at least four key caps. Each key cap of the at least four key caps may be separated by at least one gap. The at least one gap may be between 0.075 mm and 0.525 mm. A method of manufacturing an input device is described. The method may include measuring at least four keycaps in a keyset. Each key cap of the at least four key caps may be separated on a side from a keyboard cover by a gap. The method may include cutting a substrate to fit between the at least four keycaps in the keyset such that the gap of each of the at least four keys is between 0.075 mm and 0.525 mm.

  • Publication number: 20180342858
    Abstract: An electronics housing comprises interlocking first and second housing portions, each of the first and second housing portions including a series of assembly joints configured such that each assembly joint of the first housing portion is receivable between adjacent assembly joints of the second housing portion, each assembly joint having a tunnel arranged such that the tunnels of the series of assembly joints of the interlocking first and second housing portions align to form a channel. The electronics housing also comprises a removable, flexible cable configured to prevent separation of the interlocking first and second housing portions when arranged in the channel.

  • Patent number: 10050423
    Abstract: A cable-retention device assembly includes a first assembly portion and a second assembly portion. The first and second assembly portions include a platform and a plurality of assembly joints. Each assembly joint includes a nose forming a terminal end, first and second interfacing sides extending from the platform to the nose, and a tunnel running through the assembly joint from the first interfacing side to the second interfacing side. Assembly joints of the first assembly portion are sized and shaped to cooperatively interface with assembly joints of the second assembly portion, such that tunnels of each plurality of assembly joints collectively define a cable-routing channel when the first and second assembly portions are mated. A cable is routable through the cable-routing channel to prevent separation between the first and second assembly portions.

  • Patent number: 8045333
    Abstract: A compliant circuit element spacing system comprises a circuit board, a dummy spacer component, and a compliant circuit element. One or more active components are mounted to the circuit board. The dummy spacer component is also mounted to the circuit board, such that the dummy spacer component is electrically isolated from each active component mounted to the circuit board. The compliant circuit element is positionable proximate the circuit board, and spaced from the circuit board by the dummy spacer component. The spacing component isolates the compliant circuit element from each active component mounted to the circuit board.
