Publication number: 20240103577Abstract: In one example, an electronic device may include a main body, and a back cover having an opening. The back cover may include an inner surface, and a hook protruding from the inner surface. The hook may be engageable with a receiving portion of the main body to slidably couple the back cover to the main body. Further, electronic device may include a component housing connected to the main body through the opening in the back cover to fixedly couple the back cover to the main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2019Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Cheng-Yi Yang, Szu Tao Tong, Hai-Lung Hung

Publication number: 20220290703Abstract: An apparatus may include a collar, a first bracket and a second bracket. The collar may be retained in a substrate through hole of a substrate. For example, a portion of the collar may be inserted into the substrate through hole. The first bracket may include a first bracket screw hole and the second bracket may include a second bracket screw hole. The second bracket may be adjustable from a first (down) position to a second (upright) position. When the second bracket is in the first position, a mount retaining screw may be received through the first bracket screw hole to retain a mount to the substrate for a first thickness of the substrate. When the second bracket is in the second position, the mount retaining screw may be received through the second bracket screw hole to retain the mount to adjust to a second thickness of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2019Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Hai-Lung Hung, Cheng-Yi Yang, Szu Tao Tong

Patent number: 9213398Abstract: A keypad circuit provides a signal corresponding to an actuation of a button. A query is presented to confirm intent to place an apparatus in a low-power state in response to the signal. The apparatus assumes a low-power state in response to a confirmation. The apparatus is also configured to assume an active state from a low-power state in response to the signal. Point-of-sale terminals and other apparatus can be controlled and operated accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Szu Tao Tong, Hsin-Tso Lin, Cheng-Yi Yang, Chih Liang Li
