  • Patent number: 11946781
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a base, a sliding assembly slideably coupled to the base, and a sensor assembly coupled to the sliding assembly. The sliding assembly may moveably support a control panel and the sensor assembly may sense positions of the sliding assembly relative to the base. The sensor assembly may include a first sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a first position relative to the base, and a second sensor to sense that the sliding assembly is in a second position relative to the base. A sensed state of the first sensor and a sensed state of the second sensor may be used to determine that the sliding assembly is in a third position relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 11822378
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a body and a control panel assembly coupled to the body. The control panel assembly may include a base plate coupled to the body, a display panel coupled to the base plate, and an input device coupled to the display panel. In some examples, the control panel assembly may move from a first position in which the display panel is at least partially retracted in the body to a second position in which the display panel and the input device are extended out from the body. The display panel may be positioned at a first predefined angle relative to the base plate and the input device may be positioned at a second predefined angle relative to the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230247791
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a top cover, a control panel housing rotatably coupled to the top cover, and a gear assembly. The top cover may include an upper surface and a recess disposed on the upper surface. The control panel housing may include a first section that may house a control panel and a second section that may extend from the first section to mount the control panel housing to the top cover. In some examples, the gear assembly may be disposed in the recess. The gear assembly may include a gear rack fixed to the top cover inside the recess and a gear fixed to the second section of the control panel housing. The gear may be movably coupled to the gear rack to move along the gear rack as the control panel housing is rotated relative to the upper surface of the top cover.
