  • Patent number: 10713978
    Abstract: A computing device includes memory configured for storing executable instructions, a processor configured for executing the instructions, a foldable display layer configured for displaying information in response to the execution of the instructions, and a bend limit layer coupled to the foldable display layer and arranged substantially parallel to a display surface of the foldable display layer. The bend limit layer is configured to increase its stiffness non-linearly when a radius of a bend of the bend limit layer is less than a threshold radius of curvature of the foldable display layer, the threshold radius of curvature being greater than 1 mm and less than 20 mm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10074887
    Abstract: According to an implementation, a computing device includes electronic circuitry, and an antenna and heat venting chamber having an antenna radiating element disposed in at least a first plane, a ground plane element disposed in at least a second plane, a first side wall member defining a plurality of perforations, and a second side wall member having a portion that is disposed opposite to the first side wall member, where the portion of the second side wall member defines at least one opening. The computing device includes a cooling system configured to vent heat generated by the electronic circuitry through the antenna and heat venting chamber.
