Abstract: An electronic device display comprising an outer housing to surround a display screen, a button disposed on the outer housing, and a lens disposed on the button to allow light to enter the interior of the outer housing.

Abstract: A swivel support base apparatus is disclosed. One embodiment of the swivel support base apparatus includes a frame, a swivel mechanism, said swivel mechanism including a foot having a defined frictional coefficient that enables rotation of the frame and impedes translational movement of the foot, and secondary feet connected to the frame and disposed in locations surrounding the swivel mechanism, said secondary feet having a lower frictional coefficient than the foot.

Abstract: A computer comprises an upper housing, a lower housing, and a flexible sheet disposed between the housings. The sheet covers and area of least one of the housings. The sheet comprises an outer skirt that fits within a receiving portion in at least one of the housings thereby forming a seal around an edge of the computer.

Abstract: A computer device comprises at least two operational components disposed within a housing of the computer device. The computer device also comprises a cooling system thermally coupled to the at least two operational components, the cooling system configured to receive an airflow through at least one inlet and discharge the airflow through at least two outlets to dissipate thermal energy generated by the at least two operational components.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a display member rotatably coupled to a base member. The display member comprises a vaulted member disposed on a side of the display member opposite a viewing side of a display screen of the display member to stiffen the display member.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an air vent and method for assembling an air vent are provided. In one embodiment an air vent includes a wall comprising a first wall segment which lies along a first plane and a second wall segment which lies along a second plane where the first plane is distinct from the second plane. The air vent also includes at least one opening disposed between the first segment and the second segment of the wall.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies associated with a monitor stand that accommodates monitors with various weights and that facilitates adjusting the height of a monitor without locking the monitor in position are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a base, means for providing a fixed lifting force for holding the monitor in the user-selected vertical position, a guide supported by the base, and an attachment assembly that moves vertically within the guide and that supports the monitor. The attachment assembly can be configured to receive the lifting force. The monitor stand can also include a friction assembly operably connected to the guide and/or the attachment assembly. The friction assembly can be configured to produce a user selected frictional force between the guide and the attachment assembly that helps hold the monitor in the user-selected vertical position without locking the monitor in place.
