  • Patent number: 11885994
    Abstract: A dichroic coating can be applied to a glass window of an electronic device to enhance the cosmetic and aesthetic appeal of the device. Different processes can be applied to the glass window in combination with a dichroic coating. For example, a layer of ink can be applied to the glass window in addition to one or more layers of dichroic material. The material layers can cover any suitable portion of the glass. For example, the material layers can include holes or openings. As another example, the material layers can be constructed from several distinct shapes placed on the glass. In some cases, software applications can be used to define a desired color profile for a coating, and to retrieve a suitable combination of dichroic and other layers to provide the desired color profile.

  • Patent number: 7240814
    Abstract: A center console storage system for a vehicle includes an enclosure defining a storage space that is easily reconfigured using one or more webs. Each web includes a plurality of fasteners that are easily attached to, and detached from, a plurality of receptacles that are provided by the enclosure. As a result the web configuration may be easily changed to secure different sized items without compromising the usefulness of the remaining storage area.

  • Publication number: 20070064340
    Abstract: In one example a tape deflector assembly for use within a media drive is provided. The tape deflector assembly includes a tape deflector operable to selectively move and deflect a tape path away from a transducer head (e.g., to accommodate the passage of a leader and buckle mechanism thereby). The tape deflector includes a rotatable element operable to rotate in response to contact with an object (e.g., a leader or data storage tape) moving relative to the rotatable element. In one example, the tape deflector includes a movable arm, and the rotatable element is disposed at a distal end of the movable arm. The movable arm may rotate and/or translate to position the rotatable element and deflect the tape path. The assembly may further include a resilient member associated with the movable arm such as a spring loaded mechanism associated with the tape deflector.

  • Patent number: 6832383
    Abstract: A data storage drive, a method of manufacturing the same, and a drive array that includes multiple such disk storage drives. In one embodiment, the disk storage drive includes: (1) a substrate, (2) a motor located on the substrate, (3) a data storage medium coupled to the motor for movement thereby and (4) a MEMS read arm located on the substrate, having a read head and capable of responding to control signals by moving to cause the read head to traverse portions of the data storage medium thereby to read data therefrom.
