Abstract: A jack may comprise a contact clip and a housing. The housing may be generally cylindrical and bounded by an imaginary cylinder. The housing may define a substantially cylindrical cavity and a contact aperture. The substantially cylindrical cavity may have an opening at a first end of the housing. The contact aperture may be configured to receive the contact clip. The contact aperture may extends from an outer surface of the housing to the cylindrical cavity. The contact clip may be friction-fitted into the contact aperture and extend into the substantially cylindrical cavity.

Abstract: A keyboard for use with a computing device includes multiple rows of keys with each of the rows of keys including multiple keys. A horizontal pitch of the keys is between 18 mm and 19 mm and a length of the rows of the keys is between 230 mm and 235 mm.

Abstract: A base for a portable computing device may comprise a keyboard, a frame, a shaft, a mount, and a shaft engagement element. The keyboard may be configured to communicate with the portable computing device. The frame may surround the keyboard. The shaft may be rotationally attached to the frame. The rotational attachment of the shaft to the frame may have a friction greater than a force of gravity on the portable computing device. The mount may be configured to hold the portable computing device. The mount may define a shaft recess through which the shaft extends and in which the shaft freely rotates. The shaft engagement element may be configured to rotationally couple the mount to the shaft in response to the portable computing device being placed on the mount.

Abstract: A computer includes a lid defining a lower edge. A hinge is connected to the lid along the lower edge. The computer further includes a base having an upper surface and a keyboard disposed on the upper surface and defining a back edge. A mounting assembly is connected with the base between the back edge and the keyboard. The mounting assembly has an attachment feature that moves along a translational path in a direction between the back edge and the keyboard in a manner that is constrained to rotation thereof. The hinge is rotatably connected to the lid to be rotatable with respect to the base. The hinge is rotatably affixed with the attachment feature such that rotation of the lid drives rotation of the attachment feature, which drives the movement of the attachment feature along the translational path, moving the lower edge of the therewith.
