Publication number: 20230284406Abstract: Example latching assemblies and electronic devices including the latching assemblies are disclosed. In an example, an electronic device includes a housing including a cavity to receive a peripheral device therein. In addition, the electronic device includes a latching assembly disposed within the housing. The latching assembly includes a latch biased toward the cavity to engage with the peripheral device, and a block. Displacement of the block is to slidingly engage the block along the latch and thereby withdraw the latch from the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2020Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Cheng-Yi Yang, Timothy Arthur Kubicki, Owen P. Columbus, Matthew William Tivnon

Patent number: 11297411Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a chamber having a hole and a microphone unit. The microphone unit may include a first substrate having a first opening aligned with the hole of the chamber, a second substrate positioned with respect to the first substrate to form a gap between the second substrate and the first substrate, the second substrate having a second opening, and a diaphragm housed within the gap formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, in which the first opening is positioned on a first side of the diaphragm and the second opening is positioned on a second side of the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Owen P. Columbus

Publication number: 20210368271Abstract: An example acoustic transducer device includes a magnet and a pole plate connected to the magnet. The pole plate includes a nickel-iron alloy having nickel as a principal component. The device further includes a diaphragm movable relative to the pole plate to generate a sound and a coil connected to the diaphragm. The coil is to extend into a gap at the pole plate. The coil is to magnetically interact with a magnetic field provided to the gap by the magnet and the pole plate to drive the diaphragm.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2018Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: OWEN P COLUMBUS, KEN MacLEAN, PHILIP WRIGHT
