Publication number: 20230185753Abstract: Examples are described herein for inline actuators. In various examples, an apparatus to operably couple a computing device with a docking station may include: a first connector to be removably attached to the computing device; a second connector to facilitate removable coupling of the apparatus with the docking station; and an inline actuator arranged between the first connector and the second connector. The inline actuator may be actuable to cause a signal to be transmitted to the docking station or the computing device. The signal may directly or indirectly cause the computing device to transition from a first power state to a second power state.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Michael Delpier, Chad Paris

Patent number: 10642324Abstract: Examples of a cover for a device are described herein. The cover includes a substrate to be placed in proximity of a heat source of a device. In an example, a heat resistant layer is applied over a surface of the substrate to insulate heat generated by the heat source. Further, a top layer is applied over one of the heat resistant layer and another surface of the substrate, which is opposite to the surface having the heat resistant layer. The top layer provides at least one of chemical resistant properties and aesthetic properties.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kuan-Ting Wu, Ai-Tsung Li, Ya-Ting Yeh, Kevin Voss, Michael Delpier
