A force between the stabilizing portion of the display and the stabilizing portion of the base is decreased when the display is changing position relative to the base and when the stabilizing portion of the display is in contact with the stabilizing portion of the base.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing performance of a processor. The techniques may be embodied as a method, an electronic device or a computer-readable storage media with instructions executable to perform the method. In summary, processing operations performed by a processor are identified.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system, and a method for analyzing and managing data flow of interface apparatuses are provided. The system includes a host and the interface apparatuses. In the host, a first controller provides data of a first channel and a second channel through a first interface port. Each interface apparatus has a second interface port, a second controller, a switch, and a third interface port. The second interface port serially connected to the first interface port receives data of the two channels and divides the same to be transmitted on a first transmission path and a second transmission path. The second controller processes data transmitted on the first transmission path. The switch switches data transmitted on the two transmission paths according to a control signal issued by the first controller. The third interface port is connected to the switch for outputting the switched data of the two channels.
