  • Publication number: 20200291196
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for attaching structures. One system includes: a device having a first structure attached to a second structure; a first polymer coupled to the first structure, wherein the first polymer has a first temperature profile and a first shape; and a second polymer coupled to the second structure. The second polymer has a second temperature profile and a second shape. The second shape interlocks the first shape. The first polymer and the second polymer secure the first structure to the second structure in response to the first polymer and the second polymer being in a first temperature range. The first polymer and the second polymer release the first structure from the second structure in response to the first polymer and the second polymer being in a second temperature range different from the first temperature range.

  • Patent number: 10474201
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a base subassembly and a display subassembly. A hinge is rotatably coupled to the base subassembly and the display subassembly. The hinge allows the base subassembly and the display subassembly to rotate about an operating axis to change a rotational orientation of the display subassembly relative to the base subassembly. An elevation mechanism is operatively coupled to the hinge. The elevation mechanism includes a support tray disposed in the base subassembly that holds the mechanical elements. The elevation mechanism is responsive to torque that changes the rotational orientation of the display subassembly such that the elevation mechanism lifts the support tray when the display subassembly is moved to an upright position and lowers the support tray when the display subassembly is moved to a closed position.
