Abstract: In one example, a double-track guided hinge for an electronic device. The hinge includes a bent lever arm having an arm pin adjacent one end, an arm pivot, and a curved slot adjacent the other end, the curved slot extending towards the arm pivot. The hinge also includes an angled slot slidably engaged with the arm pin. The hinge further includes a rotatable connector block having a block pivot and a pin radially offset from the block pivot, the offset pin slidably engaged with the curved slot A carrier moveably attached to the lever arm at the arm pivot and to the connector block at the block pivot, is linearly moveable responsive to rotation of the pivot connector block.

Abstract: An apparatus and article is disclosed for separating intake air from exhaust air. The apparatus discloses an intake port, coupled to conduct intake air; an exhaust port, coupled to conduct exhaust air; and an air-curtain port, coupled to conduct air-curtain air to separate at least a portion of the intake air conducted by the intake port from the exhaust air conducted by the exhaust port. The article discloses a ductwork shell article, having an intake vent, an intake chamber, an exhaust vent, an exhaust chamber, an air-curtain vent, and an air-curtain chamber; wherein: the air-curtain vent is in part located between the exhaust vent and the intake vent.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a rotatable camera assembly and display panel. According to one embodiment, a panel housing is formed around the perimeter of the display panel having a horizontal axis of rotation. The panel housing includes vertically-arranged side portions that are adjacent to side portions of the display panel. The rotatable camera assembly includes a digital camera and is formed integral with at least one side portion of the panel housing. Furthermore, the axis of rotation of the camera assembly is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the display panel.

Abstract: A device is configured to be adjusted between open and closed conditions, and to securely engage a security slot of a portable computer when in the closed condition. The device defines an internal cavity that is configured to receive a portion of a cable-like computer lock when the device is in the closed condition. The device is further configured to extend the computer lock away from the housing of the portable computer. The device prevents the computer lock from obstructing access to surface features on the computer proximate to the security slot.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a track guided hinge assembly for a portable electronic device. According to one embodiment, the portable electronic device includes a base housing and a panel configured to cover a top surface of the base housing. A first mounting bracket having a first guide track is mounted within the base housing. A second mounting bracket having a second guide track is positioned adjacent to the first mounting bracket. Furthermore, the portable electronic device includes a panel bracket member including a hinge pivot shaft that extends perpendicularly therefrom and configured to follow the second guide track, and a guide plate having a guide pin extending perpendicularly therefrom and configured to follow the first guide track. When the panel pivots and rotates away from the base housing, the guide pin moves along the first guide track simultaneously as the pivot shaft moves along the second guide track.

Abstract: A fan circulates air inside a device. A first exhaust port vents the circulated air out of the computing device. A second exhaust port also vents circulated air out of the computing device. A shutter automatically blocks one of the exhaust ports based on the physical orientation of the computing device.

Abstract: A tissue approximation device and method, particularly in the mid-face region, are provided. The device is an implantable, biodegradable construct that has attachment points emanating from a supportive backing. The device also has an extension member or leash which extends from the backing which is configured to receive a tissue or bone attachment device at one of a plurality of selectable locations along the elongated member, for example via engagement holes extending in a line away from the backing. Once tissue is engaged with the attachment points, the extension member is pulled until the tissue is approximated in the desired position. Then the appropriate extension member hole(s) are selected to attach the extension member to supportive tissue or bone (for example temporal fascia) for permanent tissue approximation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for assembling a soft tissue reconstruction system having first and second anchor assemblies. The apparatus includes a base plate, a first mounting block mounted to the base plate and having a first reference surface against which the first anchor assembly is mountable, a second mounting block slidably mounted to the base plate and having a second reference surface against which a bone anchor of the second anchor assembly is mountable, a measurement bar extending from the second mounting block and slidable relative to the first mounting block, a support block slidably mounted to the measurement bar having a third reference surface for abutting against a tissue presentation surface of the second anchor assembly, and a tensioning device for tensioning a graft attached to the first anchor assembly. Indicia on the measurement bar indicate the proper locations of the reference surfaces and components mounted/abutted thereto.
