  • Publication number: 20190220066
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge. The hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing and includes an off-center lobe that generates a field. The second housing includes a detection engine to detect a strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe and determines a hinge angle (or a position of the first housing relative to the second housing) based on the detected strength of the field generated by the off-center lobe.

  • Publication number: 20190215975
    Abstract: Illustrative examples include a system for coupling a first electronic device to a second electronic device. The first electronic device may include a housing having a first engagement surface and a first magnet array. The first engagement surface may be adapted to receive the second electronic device. The second electronic device may include a second magnet array. An actuator coupled to the first magnet array may move the first magnet array relative to the housing and the second magnetic array, to attractively couple or repulsively de-couple the second electronic device from the first electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20190138054
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive data related to a gaze of a user, determine that a display should be adjusted based on the received data related to the gaze of the user, and activate a motor, where the motor causes the height of the display to be adjusted. In an example, the electronic device can also determine that the display should be rotated based on the received data related to the gaze of the user and rotate the display.

  • Publication number: 20190129476
    Abstract: Technologies for a hinge for a dual-screen clamshell computing device include a hinge having a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The drive shaft is fixed to a member such as a secondary display housing of the computing device. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to another member such as a base housing of the computing device. The hinge includes a one-way needle bearing fixed to the same member as the driven shaft. The driven shaft passes through the one-way needle bearing, which allows free rotation of the driven shaft in one direction and prevents rotation of the driven shaft in the other direction. The hinge includes a coupling joint that selectively couples the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The computing device includes a trigger that is operable to selectively engage and disengage the coupling joint of the hinge. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20190041996
    Abstract: Examples apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture and methods to adjust a keyboard position are disclosed. An example keyboard position adjustment system includes a keyboard orientation detector to determine a first keyboard position of a keyboard and/or a hand position detector to determine a hand position near the keyboard. The example system also includes an adjuster to move the keyboard to a second keyboard position based on the first keyboard position and/or the hand position.

  • Publication number: 20190043321
    Abstract: Components, devices, systems, and methods for providing a movable haptic actuator for a user interacting with a simulated environment. The simulated environment may be virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality. A fastener may be used to couple the haptic actuator to a wearable article worn by the user. The haptic actuator communicates with a controller to receive information to provide feedback to the user during operations of the simulated environment. The haptic actuator may be movable from a first position on the wearable article to a second position.
